ABUSALAH, Mustafa; TAIT, John  and  OAKES, Michael. Cross Language Information Retrieval using Multilingual Ontology as Translation and Query Expansion Base. Polibits [online]. 2009, n.40, pp.13-16. ISSN 1870-9044.

This paper reports an experiment to evaluate a Cross Language Information Retrieval (CLIR) system that uses a multilingual ontology to improve query translation in the travel domain. The ontology-based approach significantly outperformed the Machine Readable Dictionary translation baseline using Mean Average Precision as a metric in a user-centered experiment.

Keywords : Ontology; multilingual; cross language information retrieval.
