Situations in which semantic search

can help

9

I can´t

remember how

to spell the

search term

I can´t

remember

exactly what I

was looking for

I want to gain

background

knowledge to a

certain document

I want to know

more about this

entity in a

certain context.

I want to see facts

from different

sources describing

this entity.

I want to search

in different

languages

simultaneously

I forgot some of

the names for

the entity I´m

looking for

I want the

software to

understand what I

mean by „Jaguar“

Find information faster – Auto-

Complete

10

I can´t

remember how

to spell the

search term

To provide powerful auto-complete also for enterprise search

scenarios you need to establish an enterprise vocabulary.

Reveal hidden information – Status

quo

11

SNCR Search

SNCR OR „Selective non- Search

I forgot some of

the names for

the entity I´m

looking for

Reveal hidden information with

query expansion

12

SNCR SearchOR "selective non catalytic reduction"

SNCR

selective non

catalytic reduction

alternative Label

preferred Label

Multi-lingual search based on a

thesaurus

13

clean energy SearchOR energía limpia

clean energy

energía limpia

preferredLabel @es

preferred Label @en

I want to search

in different

languages

simultaneously

Reveal hidden information and

relations

14

Find documents

or images related

to any other text.

http://poolparty.punkt.at/demozone

I want to gain

background

knowledge to a

certain document

Find more specific information with

faceted search

15

facets support

structured queries

facets help

to drill down

search results,

adapt dynamically

Zero-result queries

won´t happen

anymore

Complex queries with faceted

search over linked data

16

„Show me all airlines

whose

parent company is

Lufthansa“

http://dbpedia.neofonie.de/

My Energy-Dossier about

Find linked information – Status quo

17

I want to see facts

from different

sources describing

this entity.

The user has to put

together manually

energy-related

information about

a country.

360O views: Find linked information

18

Energy-related

information about countries

are „mashed“ automatically

by using „linked data“

SKOS – Open Standard for Thesauri

• SKOS = Simple Knowledge Organisation System(s)

• Goal …– Simple, flexible, extensible, machine-

understandable representation for…• Thesauri

• Classification Schemes

• Taxonomies

• Subject Headings

• Other types of ‘controlled vocabulary’…

The role of thesauri in semantic

search

Thesaurus as the central point

to control:

• labels & query expansion

• facets

• refine search mechanisms

• metadata integration
