Semantic E-government Portals - A Case Study
Teemu Sidoroff, Eero Hyvönen · 2005
This paper presents a case study on how semantic search and browsing techniques can be applied to solving the problems of content discovery, aggregation, and linking in e-government portals. At the same time, adaptability of a semantic portal tool, OntoViews, based on the multi-facet search paradigm, to different kinds of content was tested. Our conclusion is that representing content and their linking in terms of semantic web ontologies and logic rules is flexible from the system construction viewpoint, can be used to provide the end-user with useful “semantic” services, and can reduce human effort in portal maintenance.
