文摘Based on the comparison between ontology and thesaurus, and the analysis of an ontology-based Information Retrieval （IR） model, the potential advantages that ontology may contribute to IR are analyzed. Then a general architecture of ontology-based Information Retrieval System （IRS） and the approach of constructing it are presented. Based on the researches, the role of ontology in IR is summarized from four aspects and a typical system called Textpresso is analyzed. Finally, a conclusion is drawn that utilizing ontology is the trend of IR and can really improve the IRS.
