摘要: Abstract This paper describes a structural document retrieval model which has been designed based on lexical-semantic relationships between index terms and an algorithm of measuring tree-to-tree distance. In this model, documents query statements are structurally coded in order to take into account any hierarchy or ordering among the conceptual coordinates matched by using that cannot be expressed form equation. The proposed compared vector small database results have analyzed precision-recall graph statistical test. Both testing result suggest tends improve effectiveness. However, needs refined more elaborate experiments required further confirm findings.
