The BSR semantic tool description

Tool BSR is used for ACTIMUM services for organizations, administrations and private companies. These services mainly relate to Catalogues, dictionaries and registries, and knowledge management

This engine allows complex linguistic research (linguistic cf research) (cf. linguistics).
It is based on an internal linguistic network, built on English and French languages.

Stage 1: A whole set (for example the data dictionaries entries) are indexed and integrated into the tool
- i.e. that each entry of the set " is linked " to one or more nodes of the internal linguistic network.
Stage 2: When a user puts a question (in French or English)
- its question is analyzed to extract the concepts which are contained there
- the tool establishes the link between these concepts and certain nodes of its internal linguistic network
- these nodes being linked to entries of the data dictionaries (cf stage 1), the tool posts, in answer to the question, the found dictionaries entries
- to find the other entries of the dictionary, further away from the question but presenting a semantic link, the tool considers, in its internal linguistic network, the nodes close to the first selected nodes, it then posts the entries of the dictionary which are linked to these new nodes
- a " semantic distance " is calculated. The calculation is based on the length of the path within the the linguistic network.
