Keyword Search on RDF Graphs: It Is More Than Just Searching for Keywords

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a model for enabling users to search RDF data via keywords, thus, allowing them to discover relevant information without using complicated queries or knowing the underlying ontology or vocabulary. We aim at exploiting the characteristics of the RDF data to increase the quality of the ranked query results. We consider different dimensions for evaluating the value of results and achieving relevance, personalization and diversity. 1 Keyword Search on RDF Graphs Typically, data in knowledge bases is represented using the RDF model. In RDF, everything we wish to describe is a resource that may be a person, an institution, a thing, a concept, or a relation between other resources. The building block of RDF is a triple, which is of the form (subject, predicate, object). The RDF Schema (RDFS) language is used to introduce useful semantics to RDF triples. It provides a built-in vocabulary for asserting user defined schemas within the RDF model. This vocabulary can be used to specify URIs as being of a specific type (classes, properties and instances), to denote special relationships between URIs. The flexibility of the RDF data model allows the representation of both schema and instance information in the form of RDF triples. The traditional way to retrieve RDF data is through SPARQL, the W3C recommendation language for querying RDF datasets. SPARQL queries are built from triple patterns and determine the pattern to seek for; the answer is the part(s) of the set of RDF triples that matches this pattern. The correctness and completeness of answers of SPARQL queries are key research challenges. SPARQL is a structured query language that allows users to submit queries that may precisely identify their information needs, but require users to be familiar with the syntax, and the complex semantics of the language, as well as with the underlying schema or ontology. Moreover, this interaction mode assumes that users are to some extent familiar with the content of the knowledge base and also have a clear understanding of their information needs. On the other hand, today, there is a growing interest on a keyword-based search functionality to answer the search needs of users who are looking for specific information obtained by integrating numerous and heterogeneous sources. In addition, it is important for the user to be able to define different criteria on how all the resulting information could be ranked and returned to the user.

Efficient Keyword Search on Large Rdf Data Using Optimization Technique
Now a day’s keyword search in data mining is very emerging topic. Latest keyword search techniques on Semantic Web are moving away from shallow, information retrieval-style approaches that merely find ―keyword matches‖ towards more interpretive approaches that attempt to induce structure from keyword queries. Exploiting identity links among RDF resources allows applications to efficiently integ...
متن کاملKeyword-Based Navigation and Search over the Linked Data Web
Keyword search approaches over RDF graphs have proven intuitive for users. However, these approaches rely on local copies of RDF graphs. In this paper, we present an algorithm that uses RDF keyword search methodologies to find information in the live Linked Data web rather than against local indexes. Users navigate between documents by specifying keywords that are matched against triples. Navig...
متن کاملAn Effective Path-aware Approach for Keyword Search over Data Graphs
Abstract—Keyword Search is known as a user-friendly alternative for structured languages to retrieve information from graph-structured data. Efficient retrieving of relevant answers to a keyword query and effective ranking of these answers according to their relevance are two main challenges in the keyword search over graph-structured data. In this paper, a novel scoring function is proposed, w...

In this paper, the authors propose a novel approach to search and retrieve authoring information from online authoring databases. The proposed approach combines keywords and semantic-based methods. In this approach, the user can retrieve such information considering some specified keywords and ignore how the internal semantic search is being processed. The keywords entered by the user are inter...
متن کاملRDF Keyword Search Using a Type-based Summary
Keyword search enjoys great popularity due to succinctness and easy operability for exploring RDF data. SPARQL has been recommended as the standard query language that can retrieve any answers users need from available RDF data. Thus, keyword search based on keywords-to-SPARQL attracts more and more attention. However, existing solutions have main limitations that the summary index used for tra...
