First, SIR transformed domain ontologies into global ontologies. Then semantic index terms were extracted from these global ontologies. Based on semantic index terms, logical inferences can be performed and the logical views of the concept can be obtained. These logical views represent the expanded meaning of the concept. Using logical views, SIR can perform the information retrieval and inferences based on the semantic relationships in the documents, not only on the syntactic analysis of the documents. SIR can significantly enhance the recall and precision of the information retrieval by the semantic inference. Finally, the practicability of the SIR model is analyzed.展开更多
