Abstract
We propose a framework for discovering implicit relationships between descriptors and objects in large information bases. Typical examples of such information bases are large collections of Web pages, where the anchors play the role of descriptors for distant web pages, and the web pages themselves play the role of the described objects. Our approach assumes that the contents of the information base are organized into manageable subsets called contexts, each user setting up his(her) own web of contexts. While setting up a web of contexts, a user may create implicit relationships between descriptors and objects (relationships of which the user may not even be aware). We provide a framework for discovering such implicit relationships in a web of user-defined contexts; this is done based on extended notions of synonymy/homonymy using descriptor and object paths.
