Abstract
This paper presents an approach to design an interface for document retrieval, based on techniques from the semantic web combined with interactive graphical features. The purpose of this study is to enhance the user’s knowledge while he/she browses the information through a graphical interface. In this paper, two aspects are considered: Fist, interactive features such as object movability, animation, etc. are discussed. Second, a method for visually integrating the search queries and the query outputs is addressed in order to retrieve documents. The visual features and the querying method are combined taking account the semantical relations among extracted information from the documents. This combination is evaluated as a means to determine the most suitable location for the results inside the interface.
