SYNTHESIS LECTURES ON INFORMATION CONCEPTS RETR...

This book provides a new model to explore discoverability and enhance the meaning of
information. The authors have coined the term epidata  which includes items and circumstances
that impact the expression of the data in a document  but are not part of the ordinary process
of retrieval systems. Epidata affords pathways and points to details that cast light on
proximities that might otherwise go unknown. In addition  epidata are clues to mis-and
dis-information discernment. There are many ways to find needed information  however  finding
the most useable information is not an easy task. The book explores the uses of proximity and
the concept of epidata that increases the probability of finding functional information. The
authors sketch a constellation of proximities  present examples of attempts to accomplish
proximity  and provoke a discussion of the role of proximity in the field. In addition  the
authors suggest that proximity is a thread between retrieval constructs based on known topics 
predictable relations  and types of information seeking that lie outside constructs such as
browsing  stumbling  encountering  detective work  art making  and translation.
