Open Semantic Search on Open Data


Description

Researchers in every field need search tools to access their scientific resources. Researchers can research more quickly, accurately and comprehensively if they have the tools to search for resources. The lack of semantic search tools on open data among researchers motivated the creation and development of an intelligent search engine on open data. Using the latest artificial intelligence methods, the OSSOD project aims to provide the tools needed by an Islamic researcher.
Search in more than 50,000 volumes of books, magazines and reports which can develop by crowdsourcing in an open platform. The world intelligent search engine has accumulated vast resources. These sources include books, publications and lectures.
A unique feature of the OSSOD is the ability to search in the researcher's personal resources. In this way, the researcher can search in those documents by uploading them in the personal cloud space. The OSSOD also handles researcher files by preserving intellectual property and privacy. The cloud system is connected to the effort search engine. The researcher can share any case he / she intends with his / her colleagues and do group research. The search engine allows you to search for personal documents and documents shared with the researcher.
