Intelligent Information Retrieval

摘要

Since it was first announced at ADASS 2 the Smithsonian/NASA As-trophysics System Abstract Service (ADS) has played a central role inthe information seeking behavior of astronomers. Central to the abilityof the ADS to act as a search and discovery tool is its role as metadataaggregator. Over the past 13 years the ADS has introduced many newtechniques to facilitate information retrieval, broadly defined. We discusssome of these developments; with particular attention to how the ADSmight interact with the virtual observatory, and to the new myADS-arXivcustomized open access virtual journal.
