Abstract
In the first part of this chapter, we shall briefly present the concepts of information retrieval systems (IRSs) and information filtering systems (IFSs). Then, the key characteristics of business information sources on the Web will be described. Subsequently, the main problems with applying the existing filtering and retrieval techniques to exploit the Internet sources will be highlighted. As a result of the criticism, the new model of information filtering system will be proposed in the last part of this chapter. This very model will be the starting point for later considerations in this book.
