Abstract

This chapter describes new developments in computer-based procedures that can improve our understanding of how people organize and use information. Relevant recent research in information science, computational linguistics, and artificial intelligence is reviewed. A program of research is presented that is producing systems that make it possible to study the organization and use of information and, at the same time, provide more effective support for people engaged in those activities.
