Description:
The aim of COHSE (Conceptual Open Hypermedia Services Environment) was to research into methods to improve significantly the quality, consistency and breadth of linking of WWW documents at retrieval time (as readers browse the documents) and authoring time (as authors create the documents). It uses three leading-edge technologies:
an ontological reasoning service which is used to represent a sophisticated conceptual model of document terms and their relationships; a Web-based open hypermedia link service that can offer a range of different link-providing facilities in a scalable and non-intrusive fashion and the integration of the ontology service and the open hypermedia link service to form a conceptual hypermedia system to enable documents to be linked via metadata describing their contents.
GOHSE is a demonstration of the COHSE infrastructure to bioinformatics. COHSE brings together an ontology
and an open hypermedia service to dynamically add links to web resources. In this example, the Gene
Ontology is used as the ontology, with resources from the GO annotation database as link targets.
