Abstract
In addition to the typical methods employed in information retrieval systems,
e.g. calculating frequency of keywords, pattern matching involving keywords,
we are proposing an approach to information search and retrieval based not
only on the basic element set known as the Dublin Core Metadata Element Set
(DCMES), which represents the content or bibliographical information of the
data, but also based on the identification of linguistic information about
the rhetorical structure of the text. This rhetorical structure information
may be inferred from linguistic cues identified, which represent the textual
information of the data. Both types of information are tagged using RDF
(Resource Description Framework). The cues and criteria in identifying
rhetorical structure information are based on those developed by
Corston-Oliver(1998).
The text base in question consists of abstracts of linguistics journal
articles drawn from a collection of over three hundred papers on the topic
of Chinese Linguistics. Included in my text base are abstracts from
linguistics journals in both Chinese and English. Information retrieval
is web-based. Besides offering a search and retrieval capability, a web
interface is also being developed for authors or publishers to submit their
abstracts to the text base.
