Abstract

The wealth and diversity of information available in the internet or local hyper-media corpora has increased while our ability to search and retrieve relevant information is being reduced. Searching in distributed hypermedia has received increased attention by the scientific community in the past few years where integration solutions which rely on semantics are considered as efficient. In this paper we propose a new scheme for integrated searching in distributed hypermedia sources using a multi-layer ontology. Searching tasks are carried out in the metadata level, where information concerning hypermedia objects is published, managed and stored in the form of a scalable description of knowledge domains.
