Annotations as Context for Searching Documents

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 3507))

Abstract

This paper discusses how to exploit annotations as a useful context in order to search and retrieve relevant documents for a user query. This paper provides a formal framework which can be useful in facing this problem and shows how this framework can be employed, by using techniques which come from the hypertext information retrieval and data fusion fields.
