Abstract

Informetric evaluation of a retrieval vocabulary in order ot find a methodology to alert the user of noise and silences. This is to be done before retrieving information, ensuring in this way better retrieval results. First, a vocabulary of terms is built. Thereafter, synonyms are added, merging in a unique file descriptors and equivalent terms. Then, an information retrieval model is achived using the logarithm NAT=[LOGe{ relations into and among terms }]. That is, the quantity of infomation, NAT, evaluated by means of the natural algorithm: 3 means the optimal, 5 or 4 mean uncertainty (noise), 2 and 1 not identified relations (silence).
