초록

이용자 정의형 적합성 연구가 적합성의 유형 및 기준 식별에 큰 진전을 이룬 반면, 그 결과를 실제 시스템 디자인에 적용시키는데는 큰 발전이 없었다. 이러한 전제하에 본 연구는 식별된 적합성기준이 주요 웹검색엔진의 인터페이스 기능에 어느정도 접목되었는지를 조사하고 무엇이 더 이루어져야 하는지를 제안하였다. 시스템 기능에 접근하기전에 본 연구에서는 적합성연구와 정보학 및 HCI에서 이와 유사한 이용자중심 연구를 비교하여 제시하였다. 인터페이스기능을 지원하기위한 제안점은 (1) 인터페이스 디자인의 추가적인 개인화, (2) 웹 컨텐츠를 위한 저자제공 메타 태그, 그리고 (3) 링크구조에 입각한 비주제적 표현의 확장 등이다.

Although research has shown a significant amount of work identifying various dimensions of relevance along with exhaustive lists of relevance criteria, there seem to have been less effort to apply the findings to improve actual systems design. Based on this assumption, this paper investigates to what extent those relevance criteria have been incorporated into the interface features of major commercial Web search engines, suggesting what can/should be done more. Before stepping into the actual system features, this paper compares recent relevance research in Information Science with other human factor studies both in Information Science and its neighboring discipline (HCI), as an attempt to identify studies that are conceptually similar to the relevance research, but not named as such way. Similarities and differences between these studies are presented. Recommendations suggested to support applicable interface features include: 1) further personalization of interface designs; 2) author-supplied meta tags for the Web contents; and 3) extensions of beyond-topical representations based on link structure.
