The SEWASIE (SEmantic Webs and AgentS in Integrated Economies) European IST project aims at enabling a uniform access to heterogeneous data sources through an integrated ontology.

We describe the user-centred design of the interface, the underlying logic based technologies, and the formal principles of support and interaction.

Abstract
The SEWASIE (SEmantic Webs and AgentS in Integrated Economies) European IST project aims at enabling a uniform access to heterogeneous data sources through an integrated ontology. The overall project development strictly follows a user-centred design methodology. Users have been involved from the very beginning and are constantly participating in the design and testing of the system, in order to obtain a first example of visual interface user-dedicated for an ontology-based search engine. In the poster we describe the end-user interface component for query composition. We describe the user-centred design of the interface, the underlying logic based technologies, and the formal principles of support and interaction.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
