Movie related information retrieval using ontology based semantic search

Semantic search has become a grand vision for improving retrieval effectiveness in today´s scenario. Most of the existing ontology based semantic search models requires user to enter a query in formal query languages. It hinders the usability of the retrieval system. Aiming to solve the above limitations and improve the retrieval effectiveness, a framework for ontology based information retrieval is proposed. In order to overcome the usability limitations, a query interface which requires the user to enter the query in natural language is provided. A domain-specific ontology based on movies is used to develop a prototype of the proposed model which improves search accuracy.
