Semantic search
In this article we are going to address the issue of Semantic search, which is of utmost importance today. Semantic search has been the subject of debate and study in various fields, since its influence and relevance are undeniable. Throughout history, Semantic search has played a fundamental role in society, impacting different aspects of daily life. Its importance transcends borders and disciplines, which makes its study and understanding fundamental to understanding the world around us. In this article, we will explore different perspectives and approaches related to Semantic search, with the aim of providing a comprehensive and enriching view on this topic.
Semantic search denotes search with meaning, as distinguished from lexical search where the search engine looks for literal matches of the query words or variants of them, without understanding the overall meaning of the query. Semantic search seeks to improve search accuracy by understanding the searcher's intent and the contextual meaning of terms as they appear in the searchable dataspace, whether on the Web or within a closed system, to generate more relevant results.
Some authors regard semantic search as a set of techniques for retrieving knowledge from richly structured data sources like ontologies and XML as found on the Semantic Web. Such technologies enable the formal articulation of domain knowledge at a high level of expressiveness and could enable the user to specify their intent in more detail at query time.
