摘要:The World Wide Web provides access to a great deal of information on a vast array of subjects. Individuals search the Web as part of their organizational
responsibilities to keep informed and to help solve business problems. These searches for information are accomplished by selecting a Web
search engine and developing a keyword query. Keyword queries tend to return many irrelevant hits and typically each search is conducted independently
of queries preformed at an earlier date or queries preformed by others. The searches have no organizational context beyond the personal
knowledge of the searcher. This lack of organizational context limits the ability of the search to use the experience of other searches and does not
contribute to organizational learning. Presented in this paper is an architecture for query construction and results refinement using organizational
experience and knowledge. A searcher initially designs a Web query with assistance from an organizational thesaurus and previously constructed
queries. After the query has returned results, organizational historical knowledge on source quality assists in determining sufficient quality results to
assist in problem solution.
