Effective search engines have been developed based
on very specific ontologies, for very specific domains
(http://www.isoco.com/sherpa.htm) but it seems necessary to aspire to a
generation of general purpose search engines and determine what
features can make search engines the future. Here, it is possible to
differentiate two complementary lines of work:
- The
problem of how to generate the semantic information that will require
future semantic search engines, by someone not an expert in semantic
representation.
- The
problem of how to conduct the search (supposedly overcome the problem
above). Here, again, there were two very important thematic blocks.
First, the use of PLN to the finder can relate the phrase that the user
has typed with a particular ontology and then applying logic
descriptive, for example, in order to provide the user with proper
consultation, through an inference engine fed with a database.
This would,
therefore, a special session in which articles will focalize these
problems, providing theories, methodologies or technologies.
Topics:
Semantic Web, Ontologies, Information retrieval, Information
management. Web searchers, semantic annotation.
