in my solution, you can apply one doc for each mesh term, or apply different keyword such as "mesh_1"...."mesh_10" for your top 10 terms...or u can group your mesh terms as one string then add into a field, which requires a simple string parser for the group string when you wanna read the terms...
not sure if that works or answers your question... On 8/24/06, Zhao, Xin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I have a design question. Here is what we try to do for indexing: We designed an indexing tool to generate standard MeSH terms from medical citations, and then use Lucene to save the terms and citations for future search. The information we need to save are: a) the exact mesh terms (top 10) b) the score for each term so the codings are like ----------------------------------- for the top 10 MeSH Terms myField=Field.Keyword("mesh", mesh.toLowerCase()); myField.setBoost(score); doc.add(myFiled); end for ------------------------------------ as you could see we generate all the terms under named field "mesh". If I understand correctly, all the fields under the same name would eventually save into one field, with all the scores be normalized into filed boost. In this case, we wouldn't be able to save separate score, so the information is lost. Am I correct? Is there anyway we could change it? I understand Lucene is for keyword search, and what we try to do is Controlled Vocabulary search, Any other tool we could use? Thank you, Xin
