Enabling Multilingual Search Through Controlled Vocabularies: The AGRIS Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
AGRIS is a bibliographic database of scientific publications in the food and agricultural domain. The AGRIS web portal is highly visited, reaching peaks of 350,000 visits/month from more than 200 countries and territories. Considering the variety of AGRIS users, the possibility to support crosslanguage information retrieval is crucial to improve the usefulness of the website. This paper describes a lightweight approach adopted to enable the aforementioned feature in the AGRIS system. The proposed approach relies on the adoption of a controlled vocabulary. Furthermore, we discuss how expanding user queries with synonyms increases the sensitivity of a search engine and how we can use a controlled vocabulary to achieve this result.
