OntoRefiner, a User Query Refinement Interface Usable for Semantic Web Portals

Overview Web portals are a convenient way today to make information easily accessible for users. Such portals have been developed for some years in different application domains like tourism, medicine, biology, etc. As when using classical Information Retrieval engines, users of Web portals are often swamped by a mass of answers. To solve this problem, commonly referred to as information overload, classical ranking or clustering schemes may be used in order to help users finding the most relevant documents. This paper shows that specific solutions, which take benefit of the specificities of semantic Web portals are more efficient and convenient to the user.
