A semantic approach for resource cataloguing and query resolution

The new generation of search engines is evolving from indexing and classification techniques of web resources to more sophisticated ones focusing on aspects like semantics, geo-referencing of the information, collaboration/distribution. In this paper we describe our work, developed in the DART project, that proposes a semantic approach to address such problems. We developed a module responsible of all semantic activities in the system, able to process and analyze textual documents and user queries by means of a syntactic and a semantic analysis and by means of text categorization techniques. The adoption of a semantic approach for resource cataloging and query resolution allows filtering the number of results increasing the overall response quality. These techniques allow to process queries formulated in Natural Language ensuring in this manner a better level of relevance of the data provided to the user.
