Abstract. Modern scholarly publishers are making steps towards se-mantic publishing, i.e. the use of Web and Semantic Web technologies to represent formally the meaning of a published document by specifying information about it as metadata and to publish them as Open Linked Data. In this paper we introduced a way to use a particular seman-tic publishing model, called semantic lenses, to semantically enhance a published journal article. In addition, we present the main features of TAL, a prototypical application that enables the navigation and under-standing of a scholarly document through these semantic lenses, and we describe the outcomes of a user testing session that demonstrates the efficacy of TAL when addressing tasks requiring deeper understanding and fact-finding on the content of the document.
