Project Page -  Link Annotation


Project Description
The network of hyperlinked documents, as it exists now, lacks semantic information in machine understandable form. It can only be browsed or searched by keywords - not concepts. There do already exist projects that automatically or semi automatically annotate web pages with concepts taken from ontology. This effort makes web pages more understandable for machine processing and searching. In our project we would like to focus more on navigational implications of adding semantic annotation to web pages.

Currently user or machine navigates between web pages by traversing them via hyper links. Decision if accessed page is relevant to the undertaken search can be made only after retrieving and analyzing the destination web page. In our project we would like to add more semantic meaning to links themselves on the source page, so concepts included on target page can be evaluated without retrieving page itself.
