A Framework for Querying Relational Database using Keyword Search

Abstract

Digital library (DL) research and development has concentrated primarily on collections and on the services to build and access them. And when the large quantity of Myanmar document is getting archived by the digital libraries, there is a need Myanmar Keyword Search system to easily search and retrieve these documents. Keyword search has been the most widely used kind of querying nowadays, especially for searching documents on the web because of its user-friendly way. Although, there are so many Keyword Search Systems over Relational Databases that exist on Internet, none of these can’t fully support for searching with Myanmar language. Therefore we propose a system that can search and retrieve the document from the digital library by using Myanmar language keyword. At first, we translate keyword query into the available language in the digital library, and then execute them in RDBMS by using Hybrid Algorithm to retrieve top-k results.
