Abstract

TendeR-Sims (Tender Retrieval by Similarity) is a system that helps to search for satisfiable request for tender's lots in a database by filtering irrelevant lots, so companies can easily discover the contracts they can win. The system implements the Similarity-aware Relational Division Operator in a commercial Relational Database Management System (RDBMS), and compares products by combining a path distance in a preprocessed ontology with a textual distance. Tender-Sims focuses on answering the following query: select the lots where a company has a similar enough item for each of all required items. We evaluated our proposed system employing a dataset composed of product catologs of Brazilian companies in the food market and real requests for tenders with known results. In the presented experiments, TendeR Sims achieved up to 66\% cost reduction at 90\% recall when compared to the ground truth.
