TOPIC:-Difference Between IR And Data Retrieval
 Information Retrieval

Information Retrieval (IR) can be defined as a software program that deals with
the organization, storage, retrieval, and evaluation of information from document
repositories, particularly textual information. Information Retrieval is the activity
of obtaining material that can usually be documented on an unstructured
nature i.e. usually text which satisfies an information need from within large
collections which is stored on computers. For example, Information Retrieval can
be when a user enters a query into the system.
 Data Retrieval

Retrieving the data from the database is called data retrieval. The data
retrieval includes identifying and collecting the data from the database.
Even a single error can fail the system. It is an example of a
deterministic model. The final results are the exact results. The database
user gets all the results. The data retrieval system is well structured.
S.R No Information Retrieval
1. Information retrieval deals with the
organization, storage, retrieval, and
evaluation of information from
document repositories particularly
textual information.
2. Retrieves information based on the
similarity between the query and the
document.
3. Small errors are tolerated and will
likely go unnoticed.
Data Retrieval
Data retrieval deals with obtaining data from a
database management system such as ODBMS.
It is A process of identifying and retrieving the
data from the database, based on the query
provided by user or application.
Retrieves data based on the keywords in the
query entered by the user.
There is no room for errors since it results in
complete system failure.
