This paper presents a method for the creation of dynamic cross-domain links for interconnection of heterogeneous knowledge bases. The proposed method represents various relationships in heterogeneous fields and navigates to related contents in these heterogeneous fields. Most information resources are connected by static links that do not describe the significance of the connections. Recently, it has been important for a lot of users to employ search engines not only for retrieving Web pages but also for understanding or learning semantic concepts. However, in the current Web environment, it remains difficult for a user to understand the relationships among arbitrary concept. The proposed method dynamically creates links between heterogeneous fields depending on the user context. The method obtains various related information resources between heterogeneous fields while understanding various relationships among arbitrary concepts. Our approach has functions for the reconfiguration of Web resources and legacy knowledge bases by dynamic links creation.
