Abstract
With the continuous growth of data volume on the Web, the search for information has become a challenging task. Ontologies are used to improve the accuracy of information retrieval from the web by incorporating a degree of semantic analysis during the search. However, manual ontology building is time consuming. An automatic approach may aid to solve this problem by analyzing implicitly available knowledge such as the users’ search feedback. In this context, we propose a semantic web search system founded on Case-Based-Reasoning (CBR) and ontology learning that aims to enrich automatically the ontologies by using previous search queries performed by the user. Some experiments and results obtained with the proposed system are also presented, which show an improvement on the precision of the Web search and ontology enrichment.
