Effective Keyword Search via RDF Annotations

Abstract

Searching relevant information from Web may be a very tedious task. If people cannot navigate through the Web site, they will quickly leave. Thus, designing effective navigation strategies on Web sites is crucial. In this paper we provide and implement centrality indices to guide the user for an effective navigation of Web pages. We get inspiration from well-know location family problems to compute the center of a graph: a joint use of such indices guarantees the automatic selection of the best starting point. To validate our approach, we have developed a system that implements the techniques described in this paper on top of an engine for keyword-based search over RDF data. Such system exploits an interactive front-end to support the user in the visualization of both annotations and corresponding Web pages. Experiments over widely used benchmarks have shown very good results, in terms of both effectiveness and efficiency.
