This book constitutes the proceedings of the First Information Retrieval Facility Conference, IRFC 2010, held in Vienna, Austria, im May 2010. The 11 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 20 high-quality submissions. IRF conferences wish to resonate in particular with young researchers. This first conference aimed to tackle four complementary research areas: information retrieval, semantic web technologies for IT, natural language processing for IR, and large-scale or distributed computing for the above areas.
