View-based user interfaces for information retrieval on the Semantic Web
Eetu Mäkelä, Teemu Sidoroff · 2005
This paper argues for using the multi-facet search paradigm as a basis in information retrieval on the Semantic Web. To support the argument, two user interfaces for extant semantic web portals based on the concept of viewhierarchies are presented. The interfaces described reveal and contrast how the view-based paradigm can be applied to support both browsing and searching strategies in information retrieval in applications using different domain and annotation ontologies. New semantics-based user interface elements complementing the basic paradigm are also discussed.
