In this paper, an innovative ontology-based, information seeking process is proposed, capable of aiding searchers in their quest to fulfill their information needs. Such a process supports multilinguality and concept disambiguation in a way that prevents overcrowding the screen while exposing the expressiveness of the underlying ontology. In order to assess the effectiveness of the proposed approach in a real-world scenario, a prototype web-based application is developed by utilizing the hidden knowledge existing within the authority records of the Online Public Access Catalog - OPAC located at the library of the Ionian University in Greece. More specifically, the underlying Library of Congress Subject Headings - LCSHs have been employed to formulate an ontology in OWL format. Interaction with library users is facilitated through an intuitive, web-based GUI implemented in AJAX technology. |
