In this paper we present YaSemIR, a free open-source Semantic Information Retrieval system based on Lucene. It takes one or more ontologies in OWL format and a terminology associated to each ontology in SKOS format to index semantically a text collection. The terminology is used to annotate concepts in documents, while the ontology is used to exploit the taxonomic information in order to expand these with their subsumers. YaSemIR is a flexible system that may be configured to work with different ontologies, on various types of documents.
