Abstract:
Information retrieval (IR) is a field that deals with storage and access to relevant information according to the user needs. The main goal of an Information Retrieval System (IRS) is to return to the user the most valuable documents in response to his queries. Classical models in IR are based on a general approach that meets the users invariably returning the same results for two users with the same issued query but having different information needs and different research preferences. Hence, the need to combine user domain interests with information retrieval becomes a challenge. The major issues raised by information retrieval, mainly, concerns domain interests modeling and domain exploitation in IR models. The major limitation of testbeds in distributed information retrieval (DIR) is mainly related to testbed that does not include domain interests as a source of evidence for evaluation of relevant documents. This problem becomes more insistent in Peer-to-Peer Information Retrieval (P2PIR) where there is not yet a standard testbeds for use. In this paper, we propose, DBT, a Domain-based Testbed for P2PIR. DBT is based on a new method for modeling peer and query domains. We represent these domains by using YAGO ontology.
