Boolean Model
The Boolean Model is a fundamental concept in information retrieval that uses Boolean logic to represent and search for data. It operates on three basic operators: AND, OR, and NOT. These operators help combine search terms to refine results, allowing users to find documents that meet specific criteria based on the presence or absence of keywords.
In this model, documents are treated as sets of terms, and a query is processed to determine which documents match the specified conditions. The Boolean Model is widely used in search engines and databases, making it easier for users to locate relevant information efficiently.
