In enterprises, information is encoded in documents and databases.
Logically, the information in both worlds is tightly connected,
however, on the system level there is usu- ally a large gap. In this
paper, we propose a framework that improves document retrieval by
exploiting available enter- prise databases. In particular, we use
database information to model the context of documents and
incorporate this con- text in our search framework. We present our
framework architecture, its components and its major interfaces. The
framework can be configured and enhanced at well-defined points and,
hence, can easily be customized to other do- mains. We furthermore
evaluate its core components. Our experiments show that the
context-aware approach signifi- cantly improves the quality of
search results.
