The amounts of information that mankind produces are vast, running into billions of documents. Traditional ways of holding this information have become impracticable and so methods of storage are being switched from ,paper and micofiche to magnetic and optical disks. In the last thirty years, as more information has been put onto computers, work has gone into using the computer to get away from the restrictiveness of manual indexing and move towards a more flexible system of information acquisition. Many companies offer (for a price) the opportunity to access the information stored on their systems. Unfortunately, most of these companies use software that was developed in the sixties when the fied of information retreival(IR) was still very young. This means that the services they offer are rather primitive. The financial Times'IR service, Profile is typical of such commercial systems. It has been the aim of the NRT project to investigate ways of incorporating into Profile the news ideas, that have occured in the last ten to fifteeen years.
