Linking Search Results, Bibliographical Ontologies and Linked Open Data Resources

Abstract

This paper describes a lightweight approach to build an environment for scientific research that connects user-selected information resources with domain specific ontologies and the linked open data cloud. Search results are converted into RDF triples to match with ontology subjects in order to derive relevant subjects and to find related documents in external repositories data that are stored in the Linked Open Data Cloud. With the help of this deterministic algorithm for analyzing and ranking search subjects, the explicit searching process, as effectuated by the user, is implicitly supported by the LOD- technology. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2013.
