A Proposal for Measuring and Implementing Group’s Affective Relevance in Collaborative Information Seeking

چکیده
In an interactive information-seeking environment, it is important to consider more user-centric notion of relevance, which includes motivational and affective relevance. In this article we introduce the notion of group’s affective relevance for collaborative information seeking. We explore different ways of measuring it and examine how these measures are related to the performance of teams. In addition, we propose a new model for implementing group’s affective relevance in information systems that provide support for collaborative information seeking.
