Abstract

This paper provides in-depth analysis of Web information gathering tasks. Research has focused on categorizing Web tasks by creating a high-level framework of user goals and activities on the Web. Yet, there has been very limited emphasis on improving the effectiveness of Web search for information gathering under the concept of a complete task. This paper provides a framework in which subtasks underlying the overall task of Web information gathering are considered. Moreover, the paper provides research recommendations for techniques concerning collecting and gathering information on the Web.
