Abstract

The semantic web dates back to 2001 and a number of tools, and representational forms are proposed and defined. However, the challenges of the semantic web are still largely unfulfilled, in the opinion of the authors. What is proposed here is a synthesis of ideas and techniques aimed a presenting the user with a much more structured search result that can expose the relationships contained within them. This does not increase semantic search, but can provide a much richer view for the user to apply human understanding though exposing the semantics represented by the structure within search results.
