During the retrieval, the attributes of the target case and the source cases are compared to find the most similar case. There are two widely used retrieval techniques (Watson, 1997) nearest neighbor and inductive retrieval. The nearest neighbor retrieval simply calculates the differences of the attributes, multiplied by a weighting factor. In inductive retrieval a decision tree is produced, which classifies or indexes the cases. There are classification questions about the main attributes in the nodes of the tree, by answering these questions the most similar case is found.
