The Untangle Project is an attempt to apply KR&R techniques to the problem of finding information on the ever-expanding World Wide Web. There are two key enabling technologies that allow for Untangle to work: a deep ontology of the kind of information that can be found on the web. and an HTML interface that provides on the fly access to the knowledge-base. The interface allows for queries formulated in the underlying representation language (Classic), which provides a far more expressive facility for searching than is currently available in any web navigation tools.

Subject Areas: Ontologies, Electronic and On-Line Information, KR&R User Interfaces, Representing large domains.
