Abstract

Study on semantic search can be mainly divided into two kinds: one is augmenting traditional keyword-based search engines with semantic techniques like ontology, semantic inference; the other is proposing methods for directly searching on semantic repositories as RDF or OWL files. However, compared with those theoretic-driven approaches, semantic search still lacks applications with real life cases at the moment. By analyzing the scenario of domain resources, this paper proposes a domain-oriented semantic search model, which provides both entity search (concepts and instances) and relationship retrieval (concept2concpet, concept2instance and instance2instance). The search model can be further refined as a generalized and domain independent architecture with inference supports. The supporting semantic inference is gradually achieved by reasoning-rules, formulas and algorithms. With such semantic search model, more exact and meaningful information hidden in the resource repository can be extracted.
