Hi Dimitrios Koutsomitropoulos,

Can I read more on semantic search plug in you have integrated in DSpace for better understanding of plugin, as an end user, I am not able to understand how to use it.

Are we looking at integrating semantic search with default search box of DSpace and if we can use it the way we make natural language search in Google.

Will look forward for your response on above.

Thanks,
Iyer

You can find detailed instructions on how to use Semantic Search under Documentation: http://code.google.com/p/dspace-semantic-search/wiki/Documentation as well as a set of instructional videos. 

To set up Semantic Search for your DSpace installation you can follow the deployment instructions: https://code.google.com/p/dspace-semantic-search/wiki/DeploymentInstructions

Currently, the semantic search interface does not support natural language queries directly. Instead, a formal syntax (Manchester Syntax for Description Logics) has to be followed. That said, the interface helps a lot by offering pull-down menus, auto-completion and syntax checking that you can use if you are not familiarized with MS.  A set of examples that can get you starting are available at: http://swig.hpclab.ceid.upatras.gr/SSEvaluationAppendix?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=QueryExamples.pdf

Will look forward for your response on above.

Thanks,
Iyer

Best regards,

Dimitrios

Is any update in the DSpace?

[Dimitrios Koutsomitropoulos]

Hi Elise,

(I guess you are actually referring to Semantic Search, rather than DSpace per se, which is at version 5.4)

In fact there exists an (unreleased) update with a couple of additional features under the linked-data branch on github: https://github.com/swigroup/dspace-semantic-search/tree/linked-data which also includes configurable locations for the ontology and the xslt. However, this is still compatible with DSpace 4.x. We are currently working on providing a version compatible directly with DSpace 6 that will include the new features above.

Having said this, since there are no major updates for the jspui from DSpace 4 to 5 it, Semantic Search current version should work without problems with DSpace 5.
The problem is with applying the patch or git merging with the newer DSpace version (there would be conflicts, not relating to SS though). If you are able to go through that, then you are good to go.
If you decide to give it a try, please post back your results.

Regards,

Dimitrios
