A software frameworks is a way of tackling the issue of software re-usability. The concept of a software framework is introduced and we design a general-purpose framework for probabilistic information retrieval. We discuss software engineering aspects of retrieval systems in general and previous efforts at building re-usable IR systems. Design patterns are utilised throughout the framework. Issues associated with a C++ implementation are also touched upon.
