Semantically en enhanced information retrieval an ontology-based aproach

Abstract

The amount of content stored and shared on the Web and other document repositories keeps increasing steadily and fast. This growth results in well known difficulties and problems when it comes to finding and properly managing information in massive volumes. Striking progress has been achieved in the last decade with the development of search engine technologies, which collect, store and pre-process worldwide-scale information to return relevant resources instantly in response to users' needs. However, users still miss or need considerable effort sometimes to reach their targets, even if the sought information is present in the search space.
