CUBA RODRIGUEZ, Yariannis  y  OLIVERA BATISTA, Dianelis. Metadata, search and information retrieval from the Information Science. E-Ciencias de la Información [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.2, pp.146-158. ISSN 1659-4142.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/eci.v8i2.30085.

Computing, and information and communication technology development has preponderantly transformed the growth and access to information, as well as the ways of conceiving and performing search and retrieval of information on Internet in accordance with the new context. This process has ceased to be unidirectional and the user has become a participative entity in dynamics of the process introducing a cognitive model and surpassing traditional one. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze theoretical-methodological assumptions around the representation of the need for information as an element that defines the result of a search strategy. In order to do this, it delves into the analysis of different approaches present in the user-machine interaction during search and retrieval of information. In this sense, the contributions of other disciplines that contribute to finding solutions to optimize the retrieval of information on the Internet are recognized. With this effort, the use of metadata is proposed to achieve better communication and interpretation by the Information Retrieval Systems of the different points of view of a given user.

Palabras clave : metadata; knowledge representation; information search; information retrieval; semantic web.
