November 24th, 2010 Admin

The Semantic Web is meant to be the successor to the web we all use and love today. Its architect is no other than the creator of the web, Tim Berners-Lee.

Task Oriented Search and Task Oriented Search Engines

November 24th, 2010 Admin

Task Oriented Search is a web search executed with the purpose of assisting in the fulfillment of a specified task. Task Oriented Searches provide search results concerning different aspects of the task.

1. Task analysis and breakdown
2. Sub task definition, weight assignment and Sub Task Ranking
3. Sub task processing and ranking

When a search query is executed by a user, the search engine deducts according to keywords, natural language or other querying syntaxes, to which sub task the search is referring.  A sub task is then selected based on the Sub Task Ranking Matrix (STRM), and the search engine assigns the optimal, most probable super task. For the selected super task, the search engine will then produce a search result in the form of either textual links or mashup, according to the implementing search engine.
