The Quest for Information Retrieval on the Semantic Web (2009)

David Vallet, Miriam Fernández, Pablo Castells

Abstract. Semantic search has been one of the motivations of the Semantic Web since it was envisioned. We propose a model for the exploitation of ontology-based KBs to improve search over large...

Unordered Documents (2009)

Miriam Fernández, David Vallet, Pablo Castells

Semantic search has been one of the major envisioned benefits of the Semantic Web since its emergence in the late 90’s [1]. Our demo shows a proposal towards this goal. One way to view a semantic...

Using Historical Data to Enhance Rank Aggregation (2008)

Miriam Fernández, David Vallet, Pablo Castells

Rank aggregation is a pervading operation in IR technology. We hypothesize that the performance of score-based aggregation may be affected by artificial, usually meaningless deviations consistently...

General Terms (2008)

Iván Cantador, Miriam Fernández, Pablo Castells, Escuela Politécnica

In this work, we present an extension of CORE [2], a tool for Collaborative Ontology Reuse and Evaluation. The system receives an informal description of a specific semantic domain and determines...

General Terms (2008)

Miriam Fernández, Iván Cantador, Pablo Castells, Escuela Politécnica

Ontology evaluation can be defined as assessing the quality and the adequacy of an ontology for being used in a specific context, for a specific goal. In this work, a tool for Collaborative Ontology...
