Formulating complex queries is hard, especially in heterogeneous information environments, where users do not understand all the data structures of multiple complex knowledge bases. We see a gap between semantic search tools that are user friendly, but have restricted functionality, and powerful, formal query languages, which are unsuitable for end users. We explore the complexity of semantic queries through an example. Building on this example, we propose a solution using a component based approach. We propose a layered architecture, with components taking an intermediary role between the end user interface and formal query languages. The kinds of components that would be needed for such a system are outlined, and challenges for the system are discussed, in particular, how to combine semantic searches. This paper was presented at EKAW 2006.

New Media Systems is...
Our New Media Systems research theme aims to show how new media devices, standards, architectures and concepts can change the nature of learning.
Our work involves the development of short life-cycle working prototypes of innovative technologies or concepts that we believe will influence the future of open learning within a 3-5 year timescale. Each new media concept is built into a working prototype of how the innovation may change a target community. The working prototypes are all available (in some form) from this website.
Our prototypes themselves are not designed solely for traditional Open Learning, but include a remit to show how that innovation can and will change learning at all levels and in all forms; in education, at work and play.
