Paul H. Cleverley . Improving Enterprise Search in the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry by Automatic Query Expansion using a Non-probabilistic Knowledge Representation. International Journal of Applied Information Systems. 1, 1 ( November 2012), 25-32. DOI=10.5120/ijais12-450723
Organizations face a vocabulary disconnect between the terminology people use in search and the inherent ambiguity of terminology in their information. The mismatch leads to critical information being missed. This paper discusses how Boolean keyword search, the most commonly used approach in Enterprise search, compares with automatic Query Expansion (QE) using a non-probabilistic Knowledge Representation (KR) created independently of the corpus.
