1 | Optimized Ontology Centered Representations for the Text based Search Engines | Ontology has become the culture and the current trend in many of the computer science related research areas. It has its strong roots from the philosophy domain to Artificial Intelligence field. Ontology based tools are serving many of the organizations needs in every aspect. This research work is more focused on the dynamic ontological representations for a set of text based data stores. It uses the core definition of Ontology and provides the user a clear understanding on the entire data available in the said data bank. It also addresses the issues related with the available vast textual descriptions and the way they are represented. A comparative study on the existing tools is also taken into consideration in order to exploit the need of Ontology in the current arena of computational and information sciences throwing variety of insights on the same. This work would also serve as the basis for analyzing, surveying different kinds of ontological environments available till date. | Working Paper | Christ University |
