Information seeking on the web: An integrated approach based on human collaboration and web 2.0

The explosion of contents on the Web poses a great challenge for users to find “right” information to meet their need. Though some tools exist that can provide help, they only meet the need from limited perspectives and as a result, users have to use multiple tools even for the same goal. This paper proposes an integrated system named Search 2.0 for information seeking on the Web. Specifically, it makes the following contributions: (1) collaboration support is introduced into traditional search engines, making information seeking a social process; (2) an automatic tag learning approach is put forward based on explicit user feedback and traditional search engines.
