Abstract

The index is crucial for information retrieval efficiency. Different with text data, tagged data contained rich semantics, which is useful to promote the quality of search results. It is observed that most existing indexes for keyword search do not consider semantics of tags. After an analysis of tagged data, we proposed the concept of result entity basing on the theory of relational database. We present a formula to quantify semantics of tags and then introduce a novel semantic index for keyword search. Experimental results demonstrated that our approach can help to reduce the size of the keyword inverted list in tagged document dramatically and improve the retrieval quality.
