The semantic Web aims to represent the contents of Web resources in formalisms that both programs and humans can understand. It relies on rich metadata, called semantic annotations, offering explicit semantic descriptions of Web resources. These annotations are built on ontologies, representing domains through their concepts and the semantic relations between them. Ontologies are the foundations of the semantic Web and the keystone of the Web's automated tasks - searching, merging, sharing…

Information Retrieval on the Semantic Web - Does it exist?
TLDR
A look at the nature of the Semantic Web and Semantic Desktop and at definitions for information and data retrieval is taken.
RDF/XML Source Declaration
TLDR
This document proposes an RDF/XML syntax extension providing an attribute to specify the source of triples in an RDBMS representation, typically an IRI specifying their real or virtual origin.
Improved algorithm of ontology mapping based on semantic Web
  • Lihua Zhang, Gaoyuan Liu, Xinfa Dong
  • Computer Science
    Proceedings of 2011 International Conference on Electronic & Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology
  • 2011
TLDR
A new algorithm is presented, which uses ontology matching based on virtual document to retrieval synset in the WordNet, and changes a single concept used by ontology searching into a concept set, so it can enlarge searching scope and obtain more background ontology.
Semantic Query Based on Context Approximation of Ontology Structure
TLDR
The experimental results show that the approach presented is efficient to semantic queries based on distributed environments and a ranking strategy based on ontology context approximation is proposed.
CONQUER: A Methodology for Context-Aware Query Processing on the World Wide Web
TLDR
A methodology, CONQUER (CONtext-aware QUERy processing), that enhances the semantic content of Web queries using two complementary knowledge sources: lexicons and ontologies, and constructs a semantic net and refines the net with terms from the two knowledge sources.
The usability of semantic search tools: a review
TLDR
It is argued that supporting iterative and exploratory search modes is important to the usability of all search systems and future development should focus on multimodal search systems, which exploit the advantages of more than one mode of interaction.
A Novel Approach for Semantic Query Based on Distribute Ontologies
TLDR
An approach for semantic information query based on semantic approximation, where a ranking strategy for answering results is also proposed, and a distributed semantic query system called DSQ and experimental results are developed.
Improved Algorithm of Ontology
TLDR
A new algorithm is presented, which uses ontology matching based on virtual document to retrieval synset in the WordNet, and changes a single concept used by ontology searching into a concept set, so it can enlarge searching scope and obtain more background ontology.
An Ontology-based Approach to Support Text Mining and Information Retrieval in the Biological Domain
TLDR
This approach, based on semantic web technologies, relies on formalised ontologies, semantic annotations of scientific articles and knowledge extraction from texts to help biologists to annotate their documents and at facilitating their information retrieval task.
A deep and uniform model for semantic annotation of semi structured documents based on SHIRI
  • M. Thiam
  • Computer Science
    2016 4th International Conference on Control Engineering & Information Technology (CEIT)
  • 2016
TLDR
This work proposed a deep annotation model for locating and extracting the more exact parts of the documents that correspond to the responses of the request, and applies statistical techniques to purge extracted terms and named entities.

Ontology-based Approximate Query Processing for Searching the Semantic Web with Corese
TLDR
This paper presents the Corese ontology-based search engine, which is developped to handle RDF(S) and OWL Lite metadata, its theoretical foundation, its query language, and its ability to process approximate queries.
Querying the Semantic Web with Corese Search Engine
TLDR
An ontology-based approach for web querying, using semantic metadata, and proposes a query language based on ontologies and emphasizes its ability to express approximate queries, useful for an efficient information retrieval on the web.
Ontobroker: Ontology Based Access to Distributed and Semi-Structured Information
TLDR
Ontobroker is developed which uses formal ontologies to extract, reason, and generate metadata in the WWW, and the generation of RDF descriptions enables the exploitation of the ontological information in RDF-based applications.
Knowledge Retrieval and the World Wide Web
TLDR
The authors present a new tool, WebKB that interprets semantic statements stored in Web-accessible documents that lets its users combine lexical, structural and knowledge-based techniques to exploit or generate Web documents.
OntoSeek: content-based access to the Web
TLDR
The OntoSeek system adopts a language of limited expressiveness for content representation and uses a large ontology based on WordNet for content matching to increase both recall and precision of content based retrieval.
A fuzzy ontology-based abstract search engine and its user studies
  • D. H. Widyantoro, J. Yen
  • Computer Science
    10th IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems. (Cat. No.01CH37297)
  • 2001
TLDR
A preliminary user study reveals that query refinement is one of the most important features of the PASS system, a Web-based, domain-specific search engine for searching abstracts of research papers.
Conceptual Graphs for Semantic Web Applications
TLDR
The RDF(S)-dedicated semantic search engine, CORESE, is described, based on a correspondence between R DF(S) and Conceptual Graphs, and the interest of Conceptualgraphs is illustrated through the analysis of several real-world applications based on CORESE.
Ontology versioning in an ontology management framework
TLDR
A uniform framework is presented here that lets developers compare different ontologies and map similarities and differences among them, and helps users manage multiple ontologies by leveraging data and algorithms developed for one tool in another.
Three Implementations of SquishQL, a Simple RDF Query Language
TLDR
A conceptual model for querying RDF data that refines ideas first presented in at the W3C workshop on Query Languages and the design of one possible syntax, derived from [7], that is suitable for application programmers are described.
Sesame: A Generic Architecture for Storing and Querying RDF and RDF Schema
TLDR
This work presents an overview of Sesame, an architecture for efficient storage and expressive querying of large quantities of metadata in RDF and RDF Schema, and its implementation and the first experiences with this implementation.
