First Claim
1. A system (100) for identifying a certain data-object of a set of data-objects, wherein each data-object of the set of data-objects is described by a plurality of discriminating characteristics, the system comprising:
- a composition unit (110) for composing a query for identifying the certain data-object;
an identification unit (120) for identifying a candidate data-object of the set of data-objects, based on the query;
a presentation unit (130) for presenting a description of the candidate data-object to a user;
a feedback unit (140) for receiving user feedback on a discriminating characteristic of the plurality of discriminating characteristics, the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object; and
an update unit (150) for updating the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object.

Abstract
The invention relates to a system (100) for identifying a certain data-object of a set of data-objects, wherein each data-object of the set of data-objects is described by a plurality of discriminating characteristics, the system comprising: a composition unit (110) for composing a query for identifying the certain data-object; an identification unit (120) for identifying a candidate data-object of the set of data-objects, based on the query; a presentation unit (130) for presenting a description of the candidate data-object to a user; a feedback unit (140) for receiving user feedback on a discriminating characteristic of the plurality of discriminating characteristics, the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object; and an update unit (150) for updating the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object. Thus, the user may evaluate a discriminating characteristic of the candidate data-object, based on information obtained from the presentation unit, and provide user feedback comprising a reason specifying why the retrieved data is relevant and/or not relevant

10. A method (400) of identifying a certain data-object of a set of data-objects, wherein each data-object of the set of data-objects is described by a plurality of discriminating characteristics, the method comprising:
-
a composition step (410) for composing a query for identifying the certain data-object; an identification step (420) for identifying a candidate data-object of the set of data-objects, based on the query; a presentation step (430) for presenting a description of the candidate data-object to a user; a feedback step (440) for receiving user feedback on a discriminating characteristic of the plurality of discriminating characteristics, the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object; and an update step (450) for updating the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object.

11. A computer program product to be loaded by a computer arrangement, comprising instructions for identifying a certain data-object of a set of data-objects, wherein each data-object of the set of data-objects is described by a plurality of discriminating characteristics, the computer arrangement comprising a processing unit and a memory, the computer program product, after being loaded, providing said processing unit with the capability to carry out the tasks of:
-
composing a query for identifying the certain data-object; identifying a candidate data-object of the set of data-objects, based on the query; presenting a description of the candidate data-object to a user; receiving user feedback on a discriminating characteristic of the plurality of discriminating characteristics, the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object; and updating the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object.
