This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project shall prove the technical feasibility of semantic search using meta or search documents. Today's Internet search services use various levels of semantic understanding to enhance the results; however, most limit their conception of a search to a single query. Nevertheless, queries are usually one step in a larger process; users often visit multiple websites, collect results of interest, and evolve queries over time as focus shifts from concept to concept and website to website. The goal of this effort is to incorporate the entire context of a user's search into a meta document, semantically disambiguate all terms in that document, and provide automated results based on discoveries of other users' prior and contemporaneous searches. Search is an integral part of how people use the Internet. Meta documents make it easy for people to save, share, and re-use complex searches. Availability of a meta document will transform search from a tool for discovering individual web pages into a means to create and share knowledge. Transforming complex searches from an abstract process of repeated queries across multiple websites into a meta document is a simple, yet profound, shift in how search is conceived. Having an explicit representation of users' multi-site, multi-query searches enables any number of strategies for improving search results in multiple ways. If successful, the meta document will create a tabula rasa for future third party innovations and thus have significant economic impact.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目将证明使用Meta或搜索文档进行语义搜索的技术可行性。今天的互联网搜索服务使用不同层次的语义理解来增强结果;然而，大多数将搜索的概念限制在单个查询上。然而，查询通常是一个更大的过程中的一个步骤;用户经常访问多个网站，收集感兴趣的结果，并随着时间的推移，随着关注点从一个概念转移到另一个概念，从一个网站转移到另一个网站。这项工作的目标是将用户搜索的整个上下文合并到Meta文档中，语义上消除该文档中所有术语的歧义，并基于其他用户先前和同期搜索的发现提供自动结果。搜索是人们使用互联网的一个组成部分。 Meta文档使人们可以轻松地保存、共享和重用复杂的搜索。 Meta文档的可用性将使搜索从发现单个网页的工具转变为创建和共享知识的手段。将复杂的搜索从多个网站之间重复查询的抽象过程转换为Meta文档是搜索方式的一个简单而深刻的转变。有了用户多站点、多查询搜索的显式表示，就可以采用多种策略以多种方式改进搜索结果。 如果成功，Meta文档将为未来的第三方创新创造一个Rasa，从而产生重大的经济影响。
