Abstract:
MinaBASE, a process-oriented knowledge man- agement system, currently features a simple full-text search as well as a more sophisticated expert search. While the former is much easier to use, the latter has much higher precision and recall characteristics due to a more content-aware filter- mechanism. In this paper we present a combination of both approaches, which preserves the intuitiveness of the full-text search while offering the same precision and recall as the expert search. This is achieved by using a single input box for entering queries and semantically evaluating the given items according to the ontological concepts and relationships of the knowledge base and giving respective automatic suggestions. In contrast to regular autocompletion-widgets, the suggestions are not simple keywords, but rather elements of taxonomies as well as numeric input boxes for specification of their properties.
