摘要:
The abundance and ubiquity of RDF data (such as DBpedia and YAGO2) necessitate their effective and efficient retrieval. For this purpose, keyword search paradigms liberate users from understanding the RDF schema and the SPARQL query language. Popular RDF knowledge bases (e.g., YAGO2) also include spatial semantics that enable location-based search. In an earlier location-based keyword search paradigm, the user inputs a set of keywords, a query location, and a number of RDF spatial entities to be retrieved. The output entities should be geographically close to the query location and relevant to the query keywords. However, the results can be similar to each other, compromising query effectiveness. In view of this limitation, we integrate textual and spatial diversification into RDF spatial keyword search, facilitating the retrieval of entities with diverse characteristics and directions with respect to the query location. Since finding the optimal set of query results is NP-hard, we propose two approximate algorithms with guaranteed quality. Extensive empirical studies on two real datasets show that the algorithms only add insignificant overhead compared to non-diversified search, while returning results of high quality in practice (which is verified by a user evaluation study we conducted).
