Design and maintenance of large corporate Web sites have become a challenging problem due to the continuing increase in their size and complexity. One particular feature present in the majority of this sort of Web sites is searching for information. However the solutions provided so far, which is based on the same techniques used for search in the open Web, have not provided a satisfactory performance to specific Web sites, often resulting in too much irrelevant content in a query answer. This paper proposes an approach to Web site modelling and generation of intrasite search engines, combining application modelling and information retrieval techniques. Our assumption is that giving search engines access to the information provided by conceptual representations of the Web site improves their performance and accuracy. We demonstrate our proposal by describing a Web site modelling language that represent both traditional modelling features and information retrieval aspects, as well as presenting experiments to evaluate the resulting intrasite search engine generated by our method.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-540-30464-7_32
