I am sorry Nittin, I may have injected you the doubt about this... semantic-vectors is a project based on Lucene:
    http://code.google.com/p/semanticvectors/
you probably want to look there and ask questions on the forum there.

Hi Nitin,

I'm assuming you're asking about Latent Semantic Indexing and similar.
This may not be the best place to ask about this. Not sure where else
to suggest though.

If I understand your quesion correctly, the basic idea is that you
take a document (usually text but it could also be an image, video,
whatever) and create a meaningful vector from it. With a text document
you could create the vector by specifying each word in your vocabulary
as a dimension and defining the position in that dimension as the
number of occurences of that word. You can then treat the Euclidian
distance between documents as a measure of similarity. Similar
documents are clustered together.

With images you need different techniques to create the vectors.
Different vector creation algorithms create different measures of
similarity (colour, shape, etc).

I wouldn't say that semantic indexing methods are "different" from the
semantic web, because I see them as overlapping concepts. From my
perspective the semantic web comprises of many approaches, both
top-down (centralised interpretation of meaning like LSI) and
bottom-up (manual meta-tagging of data through mark-up, linking,
microformats, etc.)

Does that help at all? If anyone has corrections, or more to add,
please pile in... I'm wearing my flame-retardant underpants  :)

hi all,
I want to know everything about semantic vectors. I want to know how
does it indexes the documents such that the results produced are
semantically better than normal search. I also want to know how it is
different from semantic web, which uses the concept of ontologies and
metadata. It would be very helpful if somebody mail me all the study
material related to it?

Thanking You
Nitin
