An integrated document retrieval method combining entity annotation and keyword index: A KIM platform implementation

Purpose: The objective of this paper is to testify the effect of ontology-based semantic annotation on the performance of document retrieval.Design/methodology/approach: An integrated document retrieval method is put forward in this paper, in which the entities of documents are annotated by the upper ontology and domain ontology, then the documents are further indexed by the entity annotation as well as traditional keywords.Findings: The research result shows that the structured entity retrieval and relation retrieval can be realized by the ontology-based entity index, which is beyond the ability of the tradition keyword-based retrieval. Meanwhile, the experiment shows that the recall and precision of document retrieval are improved effectively.Research limitations: Due to the small amount of our current tourism domain ontology, the document retrieval with the ontology-based semantic index is limited by the size of ontology and the precision of semantic annotation. Meanwhile, the semantic annotation algorithm mainly relies on the current information extraction strategy of KIM Platform. Therefore, the performance of disambiguation and relation extraction algorithm need to be further improved.Practical implications: Our method can improve the efficiency of document retrieval system, which facilitates the knowledge and document management in corporations, governments and other organizations.Originality/value: The integrated document retrieval method proposed in the paper can combine the entity index based on the general ontology with domain ontology and the keyword index. Our result verified the effectiveness of the combined index strategy.Purpose: The objective of this paper is to testify the effect of ontology-based semantic annotation on the performance of document retrieval.Design/methodology/approach: An integrated document retrieval method is put forward in this paper, in which the entities of documents are annotated by the upper ontology and domain ontology, then the documents are further indexed by the entity annotation as well as traditional keywords.Findings: The research result shows that the structured entity retrieval and relation retrieval can be realized by the ontology-based entity index, which is beyond the ability of the tradition keyword-based retrieval.

Assessing the Performance and Challenges of Low-Impact Development under Climate Change: A Bibliometric Review

Low-Impact Development (LID) represents a cogent strategy designed to conserve or reestablish antecedent hydrological states through an array of innovative mechanisms and methodologies. Since the dawn of the millennium, LID-centric research has demonstrated a persistent upward trajectory, mainly focusing on its capacity to mitigate climate change repercussions, particularly runoff and peak flows. However, a standardized rubric and toolkit for LID evaluation remain elusive. While numerous studies have documented the hydrological and water quality benefits of LID, the impacts of climate change on its effectiveness remain uncertain due to varying spatial and temporal climate patterns. This comprehensive review examined 1355 peer-reviewed articles in English, comprising both research articles and reviews, indexed in the Web of Science up until 2022. Findings from the bibliometric analysis revealed significant contributions and emergent trends in the field. Notably, there is an increasing emphasis on performance evaluation and efficiency of LID systems, and on understanding their impact on hydrology and water quality. However, this review identified the lack of a standardized LID evaluation framework and the uncertainty in LID effectiveness due to varying climate patterns. Furthermore, this study highlighted the urgent need for optimization of current hydrological models, advancement of LID optimization, modeling, monitoring, and performance, and stakeholder awareness about LID functionality. This review also underscored the potential future research trajectories, including the need to quantify LID’s effectiveness in urban flooding and water quality management and refining LID simulation models. Cumulatively, this review consolidates contemporaneous and prospective research breakthroughs in urban LID, serving as an indispensable compendium for academics and practitioners in the discipline
