ABSTRACT
While more and more semantic data are published on the Web, an important question is how typical web users can access and exploit this body of knowledge. Although, existing interaction paradigms in semantic search hide the complexity behind an easy-to-use interface, they have not managed to cover common search needs. In this paper, we present X-ENS (eXplore ENtities in Search), a web search application that enhances the classical, keyword-based, web searching with semantic information, as a means to combine the pros of both Semantic Web standards and common Web Searching. X-ENS identifies entities of interest in the snippets of the top search results which can be further exploited in a faceted interaction scheme, and thereby can help the user to limit the - often very large - search space to those hits that contain a particular piece of information. Moreover, X-ENS permits the exploration of the identified entities by exploiting semantic repositories.

Using the relation ontology Metarel for modelling Linked Data as multi-digraphs
Linked Data for Health Care and the Life SciencesThe Semantic Web standards OWL and RDF are often used to represent biomedical information as Linked Data; however, the OWL/RDF syntax, which combines both, was never optimised for querying. By combining two formal paradigms for modelling Linked Data, ...
Linked Open Data Search Engine
ICTCS '16: Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Information and Communication Technology for Competitive StrategiesLinked data indicate a manner of publishing and interlinking structured data on the web. The basic hypothesis behind the concept of linked data is that the value and importance of data increases more when it is interlinked with different data sources. ...
LOD search engine: A semantic search over linked data
AbstractIn the last few years, there has been a significant growth in the amount of data published in RDF and adoption of Linked Data principles. Every day, a large number of people and communities contribute to the publication of datasets as Linked Data ...
