Meanwhile, the experiment shows that the recall and precision of document retrieval are improved effectively.Research limitations: Due to the small amount of our current tourism domain ontology, the document retrieval with the ontology-based semantic index is limited by the size of ontology and the precision of semantic annotation. Meanwhile, the semantic annotation algorithm mainly relies on the current information extraction strategy of KIM Platform. Therefore,the performance of disambiguation and relation extraction algorithm need to be further improved.Practical implications: Our method can improve the efficiency of document retrieval system,which facilitates the knowledge and document management in corporations, governments and other organizations.Originality/value: The integrated document retrieval method proposed in the paper can combine the entity index based on the general ontology with domain ontology and the keyword index. Our result verified the effectiveness of the combined index strategy.展开更多
