Purpose

This paper aims to discover the effectiveness of Farsi-English query using ontology.

Design/methodology/approach

The present study is quasi-experimental. The sample consisted of 60 students and graduate and doctoral staff from Shiraz University and the Regional Center for Science and Technology. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to assess the level of English language proficiency of users, background knowledge and their level of satisfaction with search results before and after using ontology. Each user also evaluated the relevance of the top ten results on the Google search engine results page before and after using ontology.

Findings

The findings showed that the level of complexity of the task, the use of ontology, the interactive effect of the level of complexity of the task with the domain knowledge of the users, and the interactive effect of the level of complexity of the task with ontology, influence the effectiveness of retrieval results from the users' point of view. The results of the present study also showed that the level of complexity of the task, the use of ontology, and the interactive effect of the level of complexity of the task and the use of ontology, affect the level of user satisfaction.

Originality/value

The results of this research are significant in both theoretical and practical aspects. Theoretically, given the lack of research in which the interactive effect of the use of ontology has examined the level of complexity of tasks and domain knowledge of users, the present study can be considered as an attempt to improve information retrieval systems. From a practical point of view, the results of this research will help researchers and designers of information retrieval systems to understand that the use of ontologies can be used to retrieve information and improve the query and assess the needs of users and their satisfaction in this field, and ultimately, making the information retrieval process more effective.

使用本体评估波斯语-英语查询生成的有效性：以科学计量本体论为例

目的

本文旨在利用本体发现波斯语-英语查询的有效性。

设计/方法/方法

本研究是准实验性的。样本包括来自设拉子大学和区域科学技术中心的 60 名学生以及研究生和博士生。使用研究者制作的问卷调查用户在使用本体前后的英语语言能力水平、背景知识以及对搜索结果的满意度。每个用户还评估了使用本体前后谷歌搜索引擎结果页面前十个结果的相关性。

发现

研究结果表明，任务的复杂程度、本体的使用、任务复杂程度与用户领域知识的交互作用、任务复杂程度与本体的交互作用，从用户的角度影响检索结果的有效性。本研究的结果还表明，任务的复杂程度、本体的使用，以及任务复杂程度与本体使用的交互效果，都会影响用户满意度。

原创性/价值

这项研究的结果在理论和实践方面都具有重要意义。从理论上讲，鉴于缺乏使用本体的交互效果来检验用户的任务复杂程度和领域知识的研究，本研究可被视为改进信息检索系统的一次尝试。从实践的角度来看，本研究的结果将有助于信息检索系统的研究人员和设计人员了解使用本体可以检索信息并改进查询和评估用户在该领域的需求及其满意度。 ，并最终使信息检索过程更加有效。
