@conference {Katif2014a, title = {Visualization method effectiveness in ontology-based information retrieval tasks involving entity evolution}, booktitle = {Proceedings of SMAP 2014}, year = {2014}, month = {11}, abstract = {Incorporating digital tools in the business and scientific research workflows is at the moment an on-going process, challenging and demanding as every domain has its own needs in terms of data models and information retrieval methods. The information in some domains involves entity evolution, a characteristic that introduces additional tasks, such as finding all evolution stages of an entity, and poses additional requirements for the information retrieval process. In this paper we present a user study aiming to investigate the effectiveness of current ontology browsing and visualization methods for supporting users in tasks involving research on entity evolution.}, doi = {10.1109/SMAP.2014.24}, author = {Akrivi Katifori and Costas Vassilakis and Giorgos Lepouras and C.
