Separating the Knowledge Layers: Cognitive Analysis of Search Knowledge through Hierarchical Goal Decompositions.
Bhavnani, Suresh K.; Bates, Marcia J.
Proceedings of the ASIST Annual Meeting, v39 p204-13 2002
Shows how hierarchical goal decomposition can be used to understand the knowledge that is required to perform information search tasks. Pinpoints strategies that are known by expert searchers; why such knowledge is difficult for novices; and how the analysis provides testable predictions of behavior based on the acquisition of different types of knowledge.
