| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, three different data models were developed to organize and manage Online Course Materials. In addition to our previous query operations, new ones were defined to compute search results more efficiently. Moreover, quantum based probability ranking principle was proposed to present the search results more effectively. In particular, the notion of interference based on quantum theory was introduced to reflect the uncertainty of ranking of search results.
