Meta-data Extraction and Query Translation. Treatment of Semantic Heterogeneity

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2458))

Abstract

The project CARMEN 1 (“Content Analysis, Retrieval and Metadata: Effective Networking”) aimed among other goals at improving the expansion of searches in bibliographic databases into Internet searches. We pursued a set of different approaches to the treatment of semantic heterogeneity (meta-data extraction, query translation using statistic relations and cross-concordances). This paper describes the concepts and implementation of this approaches and the evaluation of the impact for the retrieval result.

Funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the context of the programme “Global Info”, FKZ 08SFC08 3.
