Abstract

The paper presents an ontological approach for enabling personalized searching framework facilitating the user access to desired contents. Through the ontologies the system will express key entities and relationships describing resources in a formal machine-processable representation. An ontology-based knowledge representation could be used for content analysis and concept recognition, for reasoning processes and for enabling user-friendly and intelligent content retrieval.
