Abstract

The SGML has become very popular as the source language of structured documents because its usefulness has already been verified by CALS (Commerce At Light Speed) project. The traditional information retrieval systems (IRSs), however, cannot support retrieval based on the logical structures of SGML documents. In this paper, we design a structured information retrieval system(SIRS) supporting both content-based retrieval and structure-based retrieval and implement our SIRS using the O2 Store storage system with the standard C language under UNIX OS environment. In order to make our SIRS easy to write a user query and to obtain relevant SGML documents to the query, we also implement a WWW-based user interface by using CGI. Finally, we evaluate the performance of our SIRS in terms of insertion time, deletion time, retrieval time, and storage overhead.
