Abstract
In this paper we present HOMME (Hierarchical-Ontological Mind Map Explorer), a novel application expanding the way users explore the web. HOMME offers the user two powerful tools. Ontology builder creates a mind map around the input query, presenting the underlying semantic relationships between the query and other terms on the web. Concept Linker provides the opportunity to experience the crossing of the boundaries of conceptual spaces. Our demonstration shows the ability of HOMME to convey significant knowledge to the user. Furthermore, future research on Web Information Integration will be possible by leveraging the power of the ontological knowledge provided by HOMME.
