An application of Semantic Web technologies to enhance content management in web information portals

As well known, Semantic Web technologies make available a set of facilities that allow data to be shared and reused across applications. The last generation of Content Management System (CMS) can leverage such technologies to improve the content management task incorporating semantic annotations of the produced resources. Here, we present the benefits deriving from the application of semantic technologies in a CMS environment. To this goal, we collect preliminary results about the effectiveness of the integration of a semantic annotation engine within the Intrage Web Portal for content management purposes. The obtained results show that the approach is quite promising and encourage the current research.
