RDF Aggregates and Full Text Search on Steroids with Solr at Frederick Giasson’s Weblog

The idea is to use the RDF data model and a triples store to populate the Solr schema index. We leverage the powerful and flexible data representation framework (RDF), in conjunction with the piece of software that lets you do whatever you want with that data (Virtuoso), to feed a carefully tailored Solr schema index to optimally perform three things: full-text search, aggregates and filtering. Also, we want to leverage the ontologies used to describe this data to be able to infer things vis-à-vis these indexed resources in Solr. This leverage enables us to use inference on full-text search, aggregates and filtering, in Solr! This is quite important since you will be able to perform full text searches, filtered by types that are inferred!
