ontology implementation
Hello list,
I found the ontology package org.apache.nutch.ontology, but i can't find
any documentation describing what it actually does (the javadoc or the
wiki just describe how to "activate" it). Can anybody give me some
infos? i.e. i'm trying to use an ontology so do some query
re-elaboration/expansion, like also searching for "barack obama" if i
look for "president". I think it should basically do some synonymity
stuff and it looks like it does, from the javadoc.
thanks in advance,
Claudio

Claudio,
The ontology package allows you to navigate a taxonomy hierarchy in the
search interface, but it is pretty crude (or was when I tried it). For
example, if you have a node 'wine' in your ontology that expands to
'brunello', 'chianti', 'bordeaux', etc, then if you query 'wine', these
narrower terms will appear and be clickable. Clicking on them is the
equivalent of searching on the narrower term. I believe it works in the
opposite direction (from narrower to broader) as well. Unfortunately,
this only happens at the level of the whole query. If you had queried
on [Italian wine], I don't believe it would match. In any case, what it
does out of the box is pretty crude, but the infrastructure is probably
there for doing something more interesting.

Claudio,
If you think synonyms will do, perhaps you should look at Solr, which includes support for query-time and/or index-time synonym expansion.
