Semantic Navigation in an online Library Catalogue

چکیده
In this paper, an innovative ontology-based, information seeking process is proposed, capable of aiding searchers in their quest to fulfill their information needs. Such a process supports multilinguality and concept disambiguation in a way that prevents overcrowding the screen while exposing the expressiveness of the underlying ontology. In order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach in a real-world scenario, a prototype web-based application is developed by applying the approach to a working Online Public Access Catalog – OPAC located at the Ionian University. The underlying ontology is encoded in OWL format. Interaction is facilitated through an intuitive, web-based GUI implemented in AJAX technology.
