Synonymy and search synonymy in an IR system (on the basis of linguistic terminology and the iSybislaw system)

Abstract

Synonymy and search synonymy in an IR system (on the basis of linguistic terminology and the iSybislaw system)The paper focuses on some problems of synonymy in the linguistic terminology and solutions for the optimal representation of information in the structure of an IR language. Linguistic terms in addition to metalinguistic meaning also carry some meta-scientific information (e.g. on the methodological school). It is thus possible that two different terms refer to the same linguistic phenomenon within various research trends. The issue of usage is also addressed here (including idiolectal preferences). The above phenomena on the one hand and various user information needs on the other result in some significant difficulties in the work on the optimization of IR in iSybislaw.

Multilingual Dictionary of Keywords as a Tool for the Digital Bibliographic Database of World Slavic Linguistics

“…The meta-information function consists of mapping the content of the document in the form of search characteristics, while the retrieval function enables to obtain in the system information set the information relevant for the user. (Bojar 2002, Banasiak 2014, Kowalski and Banasiak 2017.…”

“…In previous works, the multilingualism of keywords in the database has been briefly discussed (cf. Rudnik-Karwatowa 2002, Banasiak 2014, Karpilovska 2014, Łuczków 2014, Stanojević and Kryżan-Stanojević 2014, Kowalski and Banasiak 2017. However, so far the issue has not been broadly acknowledged and addressed from the lexicographical (and e-lexicographical) perspective.…”
