I would like to thank everyone that send me messages and be involved in talks that I am interested, which help me learn a lot from you!

Knowledge retrieval

Sorry to be difficult, but you can't justify a whole field by reference to one obscure paper ( your recent edit following my comments). In addition the introduction continues to talk about gaining knowledge when all the text involves retrieving information. Are you really sure this deserves an article in its own right? --Snowded (talk) 14:34, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the comments. I think there have been some papers titled in "Knowledge Retrieval" and wanted to discuss knowledge retrieval in its own right. Hence, may be it is time that we look into it in its own right. And, as the materials you added, it does have something that DR and IR don't bring us.

Actually Yes, the text involves retrieving information, and that is why I wanted to use the DIKW hierarchy to explain why knowledge retrieval should be studied based on what people have done for IR. Since you think it is not well accepted, I should respect your idea.

Hence, I may suggest that more researchers and practitioners should investigate the problem of retrieval from the knowledge perspective. I think more comments and suggestions from others and other fields will make it worthy of an article. Again, thank you for all the comments.--Yzeng (talk) 09:15, 24 July 2008 (GMT+8)
