AMBIT-SE: Towards a User-aware Semantic Enterprise Search Engine

Search engines represent one of the most exploited tools both in our everyday life and in our work. In this paper we propose a user-aware semantic enterprise search engine called AMBIT-SE. It is "enterprise" in the sense that it is focused on the search in enterprise websites; the "semantic" aspect is related to the fact that it exploits not an exact word match, but relies also on the meaning of the words by means of synonyms and related terms; finally, to produce query results it takes into account also the user information, which turns out to be very useful to improve the search. We explain how our system works and report the results of experiments on different websites.
