On the Use of Ontologies for an Optimal Representation and Exploration of the Web
Year: 2006
Type: article
Abstract: ABSTRACT: The use and definition of ontology for the representation and the exploration of knowledge are critical issues for approaches dealing with information retrieval. In this paper, we propose a new ontology-based approach for improving the quality, in terms of relevance, of the results obtained when searching documents on the Internet. This is done by a coherent integration of ontologies, Web data and query languages. We propose new data structures built upon ontologies: the WPGraph and the W 3 Graph which allow Web data to be modelled. We also discuss the use of ontologies for an efficient exploration of the knowledge contained in our conceptual structures using ASK, a specific query language introduced in this paper. An experimental validation of our approach is proposed through a prototype supporting our innovative framework.
