Creating collections of descriptors of events and processes based on internet queries

Abstract

Search queries to Internet are a real reflection of events and processes that happen in the informative society. Moreover, the recent research shows that search queries can be an effective tool for the analysis and forecast of these events and processes. In the paper, we present our experience in creating databases of descriptors (queries and their combinations) to be used in real problems. An example related to the analysis and forecast of regional economy illustrates an application of the mentioned descriptors. The paper is intended for those who use or plan to use Internet queries in their applied research and practical applications.
