Abstract

The explosive growth of the Web necessitates the use of approaches such as search engines, social indexing and visualisation systems to assist in exploring online information. Current systems based on keyword search and sequential listing are becoming inadequate due to their inability to make sense of unstructured information. This calls for more work into the automatic structuring of text to produce accurate and machine-friendly metadata. This paper presents a working ontology-based interface for exploring large amounts of news articles across different domains based on the seamless and automatic discovery of document abstractions.
