The role of thesauri and ontologies for improving knowledge retrieval from web applications
Dagobert Soergel · Elpub digital library · 2004
This workshop will first review the structure of thesauri and ontologies: - facets - hierarchy - richer relationships. Next, it will give several examples how thesauri and ontologies using richer relationships can be used to improve retrieval of documents and data on the Web. It will then show how to efficiently transform a conventional thesaurus into an ontology. At the end there will be time for participants to present problems of knowledge retrieval from their own Web sites, and the group will discuss possible solutions.
