|
Project Name |
Information Retrieval on the Semantic Web
|
|
Description
|
·
The future web is envisioned as pages containing both text and
semantic mark up. ·
Information retrieval is performed over documents that consists of
both free text and semantically enriched markup statements in DAML+OIL ·
Inference is done at several points ·
Developed a web-scrapping module which involves programming in Perl
and Java (More info: http://research.ebiquity.org/re/projects/owlir.html)

Description
|
·
Meanings of the words in the open text are treated by the computer ·
Ontological Semantics, an integrated complex of theories, methodologies,
descriptions and implementations is used for this purpose. ·
Relative references to dates are figured out and converted into
original dates. ·
Involves coding in C, Java and Perl |
