Abstract

Web search performance and efficiency is critical for many people and organizations in knowledge society. Nowadays, ontologies are being applied in a number of ontology-based information retrieval systems in order to improve the performance of these systems. However, quality of ontology plays an important role in these applications. In order to feasibly assess the impact, evaluation criteria need to be connected to scenarios of use with a purpose to enhance particular search tasks. In this article discussed preliminary results of the experiment showing how different ontology quality aspect can improve ontology-driven Web search performance.
