Facets and Typed Relations as Tools for Reasoning Processes in Information Retrieval
Faceted arrangement of entities and typed relations for representing
different associations between the entities are established tools in knowledge
representation. In this paper, a proposal is being discussed combining both
tools to draw inferences along relational paths. This approach may yield new
benefit for information retrieval processes, especially when modeled for
heterogeneous environments in the Semantic Web. Faceted arrangement can be used
as a se-lection tool for the semantic knowledge modeled within the knowledge
repre-sentation. Typed relations between the entities of different facets can
be used as restrictions for selecting them across the facets
TMRAP – Topic Maps Remote Access Protocol
Abstract. This paper describes TMRAP, an abstract web service interface for remote access to topic maps. It can be used to access a topic map repository to query or update a topic map, or to listen for updates to parts of a topic map. An HTTP binding for the interface is presented in this paper; a SOAP binding will be produced in the future.
