Synonyms relationships

[Nicolas Paris <ni...@riseup.net>]

Hi

Does SolR provide a way to describe synonyms relationships such
"equivalent to" ,"narrower thant", "broader than" ?

It turns out both postgres and oracle do, but I can't find any related
information in the documentation.

This is useful to allow generalizing the terms of the research or not.

Thanks ,

Synonyms in Solr are really a kind of "programmers" tool, useful for
mapping terms to other terms. This need not correspond to linguistic
notions of a synonym or hypernomy/hyponomy.

That being said, there's probably half a dozen approaches for doing these
kinds of taxonomical relationships in Solr on top of synonyms

Here's some resources / techniques we use at OpenSource Connections for
clients

(last one is ES, but same ideas apply...)
