Semantic Search Components

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.

Social Software is...
Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
