@conference{paloko09, author = "de Juan, Paloma and Iglesias, Carlos A.", abstract = "Traditional search systems are usually based on keywords, a very simple and convenient mechanism to express a need for information. This is the most extended way of searching the Web, although it is not always an easy task to accurately summarize a natural language query in a few keywords. Working with keywords means losing the context, which is the only thing that can help us deal with ambiguity. This is the biggest problem of keyword-based systems. Semantic Web technologies seem a perfect solution to this problem, since they make it possible to represent the semantics of a given domain. In this paper, we present three projects, Harmos, Semusici and Cantiga, whose aim is providing access to a music digital library. We will describe two search systems, a traditional one and a semantic one, developed in the context of these projects and compare them in terms of usability and effectiveness.", address = "Boston, USA", booktitle = "Proceedings of The 21st International Conference on Software Engineering {\&} Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2009)", isbn = " 1-891706-24-1", keywords = "digital libraries;music;ontology;searchability", month = "July", organization = "Knowledge Systems Institute Graduate School ", pages = "246-251", title = "{I}mproving {S}earchability of a {M}usic {D}igital {L}ibrary with {S}emantic {W}eb {T}echnologies", url = "http://ksiresearchorg.ipage.com/seke/Proceedings/seke/SEKE2009_Proceedings.pdf", year = "2009", }
