These latter attributes, often dealing with ldquomeaningrdquo or interpretation of an item's content, are frequently deemed too difficult to determine and subject to individual and cultural variability. At the same time, however, research has shown that these abstract, interpretive attributes, which carry meaning, are frequently the ones for which people search. To describe an item fully, therefore, means to describe it at both the ldquosyntacticrdquo and the ldquosemanticrdquo levels.
