First Claim
1. A system for identifying a certain data-object of a set of data-objects stored in associated memory, wherein each data-object of the set of data-objects is described by a plurality of discriminating characteristics;
- the system comprising;
a user input device operable to input a query for identifying the certain data-object;
a processor operable to identify a candidate data-object of the set of data-objects, used on the query;
a display operable to display a description of the candidate data-object to a user;
a user interface operable to receive user feedback on a discriminating characteristic of the plurality of discriminating characteristics, the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object, wherein the user feedback includes a reason for accepting or rejecting the candidate data-object associated with the discriminating characteristic; and
the processor operable to update the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the mason associated with the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object in relation to the discriminating characteristic describing each other data-object of the set of date-objects.

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 to the query.

9. A method of identifying a certain data-object of a et of data-objects, wherein each data-object of the set of data-objects is described by a plurality of discriminating characteristics, the method comprising:
-
composing a query for identifying the certain data-object, with one or more computers, 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 a value associated with the candidate data-object, wherein the use feedback includes a selection of a reason for accepting or rejecting the candidate data-object associated with the discriminating characteristic from among a plurality of graphical representations of reasons, the reason corresponding to whether a value of the discriminating characteristic of the certain data-Object is greater than or smaller than the value of the discriminating characteristic of the candidate data-object; and with one or more computers, updating the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the selected reason associated with the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object. - View Dependent Claims (10, 18, 19)

14. A system for identifying a certain data-object of a set of data-objects stored in associated memory, wherein well data-object of the set of data-objects is described, by a plurality of discriminating characteristics, the system comprising:
-
a user input device operable to input a query for identifying the certain data-object; a processor operable to identify a candidate data-object of the set of data-objects, based on the query; a display operable to display a description of the candidate data-object to a user; a user interface operable to receive user feedback on a discriminating characteristic of the plurality of discriminating characteristics, the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object, Wherein the user feedback includes a reason for accepting or rejecting the candidate data-object associated with the discriminating characteristic, the reason for accepting or rejecting the candidate data-object is selected from among a plurality of graphical representations of reasons displayed on the display; a computation unit for computing a value of the candidate data-object; and the processor operable to update the query for identifying the certain data-object, based on the user feedback on the reason associated with the discriminating characteristic describing the candidate data-object, wherein the user interface is operable to receive use feedback on whether a value of the discriminating characteristic of the certain data-object is greater than or smaller than the value of the discriminating characteristic of the candidate data-object.
