The main goal of this paper is to mine the research progress and fu ture trends in semantic information retrieval in China. Totally 550 papers about the semantic information retrieval papers were collected from CNKI academic data base. Bibliometric analysis method and social network analysis software were employed. We drew the annual numbers of table, the paper sources distribu tion table, the authors distribution table, the themes distribution table and co-occurrence network of high-frequency keywords.
