ABSTRACT
We present the information retrieval model adopted in the OnToMap Participatory GIS. The model addresses the limitations of keyword-based and category-based search by semantically interpreting the information needs specified in free-text search queries. The model is based on an ontological representation of linguistic and encyclopaedic knowledge, which makes it possible to exploit terms and synonyms occurring in the definitions of concepts to flexibly match the user's and system's terminologies. This feature enables users to query the application using their own vocabulary.

Concept-aware geographic information retrieval
WI '17: Proceedings of the International Conference on Web IntelligenceTextual queries are largely employed in information retrieval to let users specify search goals in a natural way. However, differences in user and system terminologies can challenge the identification of the user's information needs, and thus the ...
Using SPARQL to query bioportal ontologies and metadata
ISWC'12: Proceedings of the 11th international conference on The Semantic Web - Volume Part IIBioPortal is a repository of biomedical ontologies--the largest such repository, with more than 300 ontologies to date. This set includes ontologies that were developed in OWL, OBO and other languages, as well as a large number of medical terminologies ...
Linking from Schema.org microdata to the Web of Linked Data
The increase of Linked Open Data (LOD) usage has grown in the last few years, and the number of datasets available is considerably higher. Taking this into account, another way to make data available is microdata, whose aim is to make information more ...
