Translating Query for Deep Web Using Ontology

The e-commerce information on the surface Web is supported by the Deep Web, which can not be accessed directly by the search engines or the Web crawlers. The only way to access the backend database is through query interface. Extracting valid attributes from the query forms and automatic translating the source query into a target query is a solvable way for addressing the current limitations in accessing Deep Web data sources. To generate a valid query, we have to reconcile the key attributes and their semantic relation. We present our framework to solve the problem. To enrich the set of attributes contained in the semantic form, we use the WordNet as kinds of ontology technique and we try to find the semantic relation of the attributes in the same query from and different forms. Extensive experiments over real-word domains show the utility of our query translation framework.
