METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PERFORMING A MODEL DRIVEN DOMAIN SPECIFIC SEARCH

This disclosure relates to a model driven framework for realizing domain specific search system for unstructured text. The framework has two parts: information extraction system for defining various models such as a meta model, an instance model, an extraction model and mention model and a generic domain agnostic search system that works by interpreting the models specified via the information extraction system. The components of the search system are completely domain agnostic with no hard coded knowledge of the domain. The search system interprets the domain models specified in terms of the meta model to impart domain specificity to the search engine. In this sense, the framework is domain agnostic and it can be tailored for a new domain by just specifying domain related information in terms of the meta model. The model driven approach obviates need for re-coding the search system for any new domain of interest.
