Abstract

See full text

An information retrieval system finds information in a Distributed Information System (DIS), e.g. the Internet using query learning and meta search for adding documents to resource directories contained in the DIS. A selection means generates training data characterized as positive and negative examples of a particular class of data residing in the DIS. A learning means generates from the training data at least one query that can be submitted to any one of a plurality of search engines for searching the DIS to find 'new' items of the particular class. An evaluation means determines and verifies that the new item(s) is a new subset of the particular class and adds or updates the particular class in the resource directory.
