Semantic search
In today's world, Semantic search has acquired great relevance in various aspects of daily life. Whether in the work, social, cultural or technological field, Semantic search has become a topic of interest for many people. Its impact has been so significant that it has generated numerous debates and conflicting opinions in society. In this article, we will explore different facets of Semantic search and analyze its influence in different contexts. Through a multidisciplinary approach, we will seek to better understand the importance and consequences of Semantic search in the contemporary world.
Semantic search denotes search with meaning, as distinguished from lexical search where the search engine looks for literal matches of the query words or variants of them, without understanding the overall meaning of the query. Semantic search seeks to improve search accuracy by understanding the searcher's intent and the contextual meaning of terms as they appear in the searchable dataspace, whether on the Web or within a closed system, to generate more relevant results.
Some authors regard semantic search as a set of techniques for retrieving knowledge from richly structured data sources like ontologies and XML as found on the Semantic Web. Such technologies enable the formal articulation of domain knowledge at a high level of expressiveness and could enable the user to specify their intent in more detail at query time.
