De la recherche sociale d'information \`a la recherche collaborative d'information

TL;DR

This paper explores the transition from social information retrieval to collaborative information retrieval, proposing a communication model to enhance knowledge sharing among collaborators.

Contribution

It introduces a new communication model that supports the transition from social to collaborative information retrieval processes.

Findings

Developed a communication model for CIR

Clarified the roles of SIR and CIR in information seeking

Enhanced understanding of collaboration dynamics in information retrieval

Abstract

In this paper, we explain social information retrieval (SIR) and collaborative information retrieval (CIR). We see SIR as a way of knowing who to collaborate with in resolving an information problem while CIR entails the process of mutual understanding and solving of an information problem among collaborators. We are interested in the transition from SIR to CIR hence we developed a communication model to facilitate knowledge sharing during CIR.
