Abstract
Classical term weighting approaches normally use only term frequency to determine the importance of documents. In this paper, a new semantic approach is introduced to weight index terms of Web documents. The approach measures the importance of index terms on the basis of their semantic role in the document. The model and their semantic measurement of how to index terms are explained and some experimental results will be used to explain the significance of the new approach.
