For instance, the keyword “web” semantic model of a given domain. Given an ontology, weights occurs inside the concept instance “The Evolution of Web are assigned to links based on certain properties of the ontology, Services” since it appears in the publication’s “title” property. The so that they measure the strength of the relation. Spread activation keyword “ontology” is also related to the same concept since it techniques are used to find related concepts in the ontology given appears in its “abstract” property. an initial set of concepts and corresponding initial activation A query with the keyword “web” would have as results only values. These initial values are obtained from the results of nodes of type Publication where this word occurs. If the use
