It has become common practice by researchers of all kinds to turn to the Internet as a convenient source of information. Asks how effectively does the Internet really present these researchers with a representative picture of the state of human knowledge? Identifies the potential misuse of the Internet as a source of biased information. Defines biased information as information not representative of the state of human knowledge. In order to provide a basis for comparison, begins by defining the concept of a representative subset, which is used as a basis for comparing the nature of different information resources. This is followed by a presentation of the use of the knowledge\u2010comparison function in evaluating different information resources. Then discusses the significance of information equivalence in the information age as a basis for setting concrete goals for Internet research policy. Concludes by presenting a number of courses of action including a description of X\u2010DEX, an Internet indexing standard based on the US Library of Congress cross\u2010reference system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/10662249710187259","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2002,7,27]],"date-time":"2002-07-27T02:08:10Z","timestamp":1027735690000},"page":"263-268","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Mozart versus Minsky: information bias on the Internet"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"David G.","family":"Schwartz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Doctor, R.D.
