e - Document retrieval using rough-set theory

With the growing use of networked solutions and services in the Information Society, many citizen-oriented services are planned not only in utility or e-governance sectors, but also in other information-centric human applications. Conventional DBMS may have either two-tier or three-tier client/server architecture [19]. These are already being used on the Internet. Web Applications provide Network Interfaces to access information stored in one or more databases. The generic method of organizing and formatting these Network Interfaces is through the hyperlink documents, which are coded in languages like HTML or XML [3]. Further, the proliferation of Data Mining and Data Warehousing practices has necessitated the need for efficient e-Document retrieval, creating a requirement for robust Information Retrieval (IR) systems. In this paper we show that rough-set theory characterizes new and interesting viewpoint for electronics document (e-Documents) retrievals. We explore the characteristics of an e-Document and applicability of rough-set theory in detail.
