Semantic Search - Faceted Search and Semantic Web

General Architecture of Semantic Search

Semantic Search is being released as Alpha quality. Many features have worked at one time or another, but are now buggy. The code is overdeveloped and un-drupalike in many places. But this module contains many proof of concepts - so at least check out the screenshots.

Combines several experimental features:

* uses an RDF store as a search index. The built in store is easy to use. Other RDF stores require Java and configuration.
* dynamically creates default search interfaces, for many searches per site, configurable via admin interfaces.

Check out the latest news and information at http://semanticsearch.org/.

This code is Alpha quality and is for EXPERIMENTATION ONLY.

Semantic Search was formerly known as NINA.
NINA was developed with support from CivicActions and LINC.

I am looking for module contributors and comments.
Please take a look at in CVS!

Note: You will need an older version of ARC RDF store, and I am working to support ARC2 which is under active development.

The current release provides drop-in support for CCK and Taxonomy.

A live demo of the search interaction can be seen at: http://lincnet.net/aa using ARC and http://ahirc.org will be running Sesame (due in a few months)
