The historical heritage is a vast domain that generates distributed and heterogeneous data repositories in the existing World Wide Web (WWW). The integration of these heterogeneous data repositories and retrieving data from WWW using traditional search engine is a challenging task. In this regard, our research is to demonstrate the feasibility of semantic web technology for creating machine understandable...
Using SMS (Short Message System), cell phones can be used to query for information about various topics. In an SMS based search system, one of the key problems is to identify a domain (broad topic) associated with the user query; so that a more comprehensive search can be carried out by the domain specific search engine. In this paper we use a rule based approach, to identify the domain, called Short...
The Knowledge File System (KFS) is a smart virtual file system that sits between the operating system and the file system. Its primary functionality is to automatically organize files in a transparent and seamless manner so as to facilitate easy retrieval. Think of the KFS as a personal assistant, who can file every one of you documents into multiple appropriate folders, so that when it comes time...
The traditional question answering systems have shortcoming that they are not satisfactorily intelligent. To overcome the defect, the paper proposes a new system which applies ontology and search engine to the intelligent question answering system. By making use of clear semantic relation in ontology, the new system is able to expand users' problems in semantic term, enhance its understanding of semantic...
At present, the scale and diversity of Web information are immense. Acquiring Web information simply relies on search engine which is increasingly unable to meet user needs, thus Web information extraction (WebIE) technology attracts widely attentions. In this paper, a framework of distributed multi-slot WebIE system based on agent is proposed. It includes user agent, mediator agent, wrapper agent,...
This paper presents a semantic associative browsing system called Semantic Association Various Viewpoint sYstem (SAVVY). Recently, the number of users who employ search engines for not only retrieving Web pages but also understanding or learning an arbitrary concept has been increasing. It is difficult to understand and learn an arbitrary concept by using most of the current search engines, because...
This paper described our development dialog system on Kyoto tourist information assistance. Dialog part of our system helped user to make an appropriate query. Information analysis part would be assisted for user to select the retrieved information. Nowadays we can get most information through the Internet. However, we have a trouble to pick up expected information from the huge results with conventional...
Topic-specific crawler aims to selectively seek out pages that are relevant to a pre-defined set of topics, rather than to exploit all regions of the Web. It is important for domain-specific resource discovery. Topic-specific crawlers yield good recall as well as good precision by restricting themselves to a specific domain from web pages. In this paper, we present an integrated topic-specific crawling...
Semantic search has been one of the motivations of the semantic Web since it was envisioned. We propose a model for the exploitation of ontology-based knowledge bases to improve search over large document repositories. In our view of information retrieval on the semantic Web, a search engine returns documents rather than, or in addition to, exact values in response to user queries. For this purpose,...
