Abstract

Based on an examination of literature related to relevance judgment, this paper proposes a new approach to the integrated framework for relevance judgment. This conceptual framework suggests that information content, individual traits, cognitive feedback, and situations should be jointly considered for viewing the overall relevance judgment. A set of factors is also identified for each dimension that may influence relevance judgment. The relationships between these factors are represented in numerical specifications. It is expected that this framework provides a sound foundation for the underlying relevance judgment research.
