Abstract

Heterogeneous document landscapes in companies hold knowledge in the form of potential linkage between domain-specific documents of various document systems. To access this (hidden) knowledge, we developed a design pattern for an ontology to model a homogeneous access structure on top of the heterogeneous document landscape. Furthermore, we describe an Advanced Ontology-based Informa- tion Retrieval System (AIRS) that includes this ontology to gener- ate a retrieval strategy and to find (unknown) document relationships. With the help of the AIRS, it should be possible to access different document systems in different application contexts.
