Abstract
The boom of the Social Web has had a tremendous impact on a number of different research topics. In particular, the possibility to extract various kinds of added-value, informational elements from users’ opinions has attracted researchers from the information retrieval and computational linguistics fields. However, current approaches to so-called opinion mining suffer from a series of drawbacks. In this paper we propose an innovative methodology for opinion mining that brings together traditional natural language processing techniques with sentimental analysis processes and Semantic Web technologies. The main goals of this methodology is to improve feature-based opinion mining by employing ontologies in the selection of features and to provide a new method for sentimental analysis based on vector analysis. The preliminary experimental results seem promising as compared against the traditional approaches.
