Abstract :
For online yellow pages and product catalogs, structured content representations coupled with linguistic ontologies can increase both recall and precision of content based retrieval. Our OntoSeek system adopts a language of limited expressiveness for content representation and uses a large ontology based on WordNet for content matching. WordNet is a linguistic database formed by synsets-terms grouped into semantic equivalence sets, each one assigned to a lexical category (noun, verb, adverb, adjective). Each synset represents a particular sense of an English word and is usually expressed as a unique combination of synonymous words
