Internet is today a research tool often accessed to find resources corresponding to information needs. More often that not, in a typical search scenario on Internet, the appropriate resource is only retrieved as an answer to some other query at some other instance. This situation highlights the need for organization of information on the web to facilitate better retrieval. Semantic web techniques promise meaningful retrieval of resources in answer to a query. Ontologies aid mapping of concepts into knowledge structures in specific domains that provide context to the retrieved set. This paper discusses the role of Ontologies in semantic retrieval.

Abstract


Internet is today a research tool often accessed to find resources corresponding to information needs. More often that not, in a typical search scenario on Internet, the appropriate resource is only retrieved as an answer to some other query at some other instance. This situation highlights the need for organization of information on the web to facilitate better retrieval. Semantic web techniques promise meaningful retrieval of resources in answer to a query. Ontologies aid mapping of concepts into knowledge structures in specific domains that provide context to the retrieved set. This paper discusses the role of Ontologies in semantic retrieval.
