Lumrix Open Source Search Engine
July 9, 2013
We have run across a search system great for use with Wikiquotes, at the open-source clearinghouse Ostatic. The OS-independent, web-based Lumrix is aimed at developers. The description states:
“LuMriX is a search engine that exploits XML and XML Topic Maps. In contrast to other retrieval methods, it does not relate single items to resources, but combines given items into meaningful associations (concepts), which are in turn linked to resources. XML Topic Maps allow an intelligent mapping of relations between terms and pages. The meaning of the query is captured by transverse joint relations between the search items. LuMriX is also able to auto-extend its thesaurus and create new relations between failed search items and information resources.”
The Java-implemented system can use distributed algorithms to span many servers. It uses standardized interfaces like TCP, SOAP, HTTP, XML, and XTM. The software is an open source project from Lumrix (the company), which builds its commercial offerings around XML technologies. Lumrix was founded in 2003, and makes its home in Bern, Switzerland.
