Abstract

This paper discusses the concept of information market. The authors of this paper have been involved in several aspects of information retrieval research. In continuing this research tradition we now take a wider perspective on this field and re-position it as a market where demand for information meets supply for information. The paper starts by exploring the notion of a market in general and is followed by a specialization of these considerations in the information market, where we will also position some of the existing work.

The investigations were partly supported by the Dutch Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). We would like to thank the reviewers for their usefull suggestions wich resulted in many improvements of this article.
