We are currently in the process of attaching semantic meaning to this IR system both in query as well as documents.
We will try to have an Information retrieval system that adds word semantics to the classic word based indexing. Two of the main tasks of our system would be, the indexing and retrieval components, which will use a combined word based and sense-based approach. Main focus of our system would be a methodology for building semantic representations of open text, at word and collocation level. Also using ontology we will try to incorporate different relationships like is-a, has-a, part-of etc and make use of domain knowledge to make efficient search. Thus incorporating semantic indexing approach with improved keyword based search approach overall efficiency of IR system can be improved.
