Abstract

In order to have a web of relevant information retrieval otherwise, known as semantic web, ontology has been identified as its core stronghold to actualize the dream. Ontology is a data modeling or knowledge representation technique for structured data repository premised on collection of concepts with their semantic relationships and constraints on particular area of knowledge. Example is wordNet which is linguistic based and popular ontology which has been greatly used to be part of ontology based information retrieval system development. However, the existing wordNet would affect the expected accurate results of such system owing to its overlapping return of senses. Therefore, this research aimed to design algorithm with the aid of extended Levenshtein similarity matching function and WordWeb to proffer solution to the militating problem. At the end, an enhanced wordNet that devoid of overlapping returns of senses for efficient polysemy representation in terms of user's time and system's memory would be achieved.
