An Intermediate Query Model for Structured Retrieval's Queries Construction
Keng Hoon Gan, Phang Keat Keong · 2014
Looking at the amount of structured contents available on the web in recent years, we can be certain that the needs of structured retrieval systems are getting more prominent. In order to access the structured contents, information requests are formulated in the form of query languages supported by the structured retrieval systems. Nevertheless, information requests at this layer cannot be specified directly by end users. Hence, a common solution is to map information needs obtained from the application layer to the query language of a retrieval system automatically. Although rule-based approach can be used to generate query automatically, it is designed for a single target query language, whereas, there are not one but different types of structured queries with different forms of syntax used in a structured retrieval environment.
