HM 704,148 a2 specification technical field l'a method and a system for semantic searching. The invention particularly relates to a method and a system for semantic searching wherein a user manually designates a portion of a document as relevant for semantic search. Prior art la semantic search is recent activity that insight into the meaning of words and phrases. The term semantic is frequently used in opposition to that of syntax. There are between the semantics and syntax the same ratio as between the bottom and the shape. ep 1,843 256 a1 describes a method of arranging entities according to their contents, their [...] being influenced by a defined context. Semantic search is performed on the entire document. The invention has the disadvantage that the user cannot improve search by selecting a subset of the document. us 2010/0057702 describes a method of generating data to search a plurality of enterprise systems. Again there, the invention has the disadvantage that the user cannot improve search by selecting a subset of the document. us 7,099 870 describes a method to update periodically automatically customized web page based on the determination of the relevance of information contained. The invention has the disadvantage of not having a friendly user interface.



The method involves designing a pattern (11) i.e. text segment in a document (1) e.g. text document in any format, by a user e.g. member of economic development, where the pattern is designed by using a pointer e.g. mouse. Semantic search is performed in ontology e.g. political ontology (22) by an application based on the designed pattern. Semantic search result is presented to the user by a user interface. An independent claim is also included for a semantic search system comprising a user interface.



1. semantic search method, having the following steps:

- designation by a user of a pattern in a document, - semantic search in an ontology by an application based on the designated pattern, - presentation to the user of the result of the semantic search.

2. method according to claim 1 wherein the pattern is a text segment.

3. method according to claim 1 wherein the user designates the pattern using a pointer.

4. semantic search system, consisting of the following:

- a user interface by which a user designates a pattern in a document, - a module by means of which a semantic search in an ontology is performed based on the designated pattern, - a user interface by which the result of the semantic search is presented.

5. device (server) semantic search - including an interface for receiving a pattern designated by a user in a document, - a module by means of which a semantic search in an ontology is performed based on the designated pattern, ch-704,148 a2 - an interface for displaying the result of semantic search.
