Ontology-based approaches allow for sophisticated semantic search but impose a query syntax more difficult to handle. In this paper, we present an approach for translating keyword queries to DL conjunctive queries using background knowledge available in ontologies. We present an implementation which shows that this interpretation of keywords can then be used for both exploration of asserted knowledge and for a semantics-based declarative query answering process. We also present an evaluation of our system and a discussion of the limitations of the approach with respect to our underlying assumptions which directly points to issues for future work.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2e8c8cebd7906f804fc25316b782f0d0f/iswc2007}, keywords = {human-computer_interaction research_06 2007 keyword semantic ontology iswc web_service semantic_web search application_software information_extraction natural_language_processing interpretation software_agent} } @inproceedings{Noll/2007/search, title = {Web search personalization via social bookmarking and tagging}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Michael Noll and Christoph Meinel}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 6th International Semantic Web Conference and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ISWC/ASWC2007), Busan, South Korea}, crossref = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/iswc-aswc/2007/proceedings}, editor = {Karl Aberer and Key-Sun Choi and Natasha Noy and Dean Allemang and Kyung-Il Lee and Lyndon J B Nixon and Jennifer Golbeck and Peter Mika and Diana Maynard and Guus Schreiber and Philippe Cudré-Mauroux}, month = {November}, pages = {365--378}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {LNCS}, volume = 4825, year = 2007, url = {http://iswc2007.semanticweb.org/papers/365.pdf}, abstract = {In this paper, we present a new approach to web search personalization based on user collaboration and sharing of information about web documents. The proposed personalization technique separates data collection and user profiling from the information system whose contents and indexed documents are being searched for, i.e. the search engines, and uses social bookmarking and tagging to re-rank web search results. It is independent of the search engine being used, so users are free to choose the one they prefer, even if their favorite search engine does not natively support personalization. We show how to design and implement such a system in practice and investigate its feasibility and usefulness with large sets of real-word data and a user study.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/252943a6298169f5a552bffbbee352937/iswc2007}, keywords = {iswc research_06 bookmarking 2007 personalization tagging search social web} } @inproceedings{Zhou/2007/SPARK:, title = {SPARK: Adapting Keyword Query to Semantic Search}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Qi Zhou and Chong Wang and Miao Xiong and Haofen Wang and Yong Yu}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 6th International Semantic Web Conference and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ISWC/ASWC2007), Busan, South Korea}, crossref = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/iswc-aswc/2007/proceedings}, editor = {Karl Aberer and Key-Sun Choi and Natasha Noy and Dean Allemang and Kyung-Il Lee and Lyndon J B Nixon and Jennifer Golbeck and Peter Mika and Diana Maynard and Guus Schreiber and Philippe Cudré-Mauroux}, month = {November}, pages = {687--700}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {LNCS}, volume = 4825, year = 2007, url = {http://iswc2007.semanticweb.org/papers/687.pdf}, abstract = {Semantic search promises to provide more accurate result than present-day keyword search. However, progress with semantic search has been delayed due to the complexity of its query languages. In this paper, we explore a novel approach of adapting keywords to querying the semantic web: the approach automatically translates keyword queries into formal logic queries so that end users can use familiar keywords to perform semantic search. A prototype system named ‘SPARK’ has been implemented in light of this approach. Given a keyword query, SPARK outputs a ranked list of SPARQL queries as the translation result. The translation in SPARK consists of three major steps: term mapping, query graph construction and query ranking. Specifically, a probabilistic query ranking model is proposed to select the most likely SPARQL query. In the experiment, SPARK achieved an encouraging translation result.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2ce56748004a2f073a3b016b4e7a4e54a/iswc2007}, keywords = {ontology_(computer_science) iswc research_06 2007 semantic_web search query application_software semantic} }
