Leveraging semantic technologies for enterprise search

Enterprise search is very different from Web search (for example in the link structure or in the user's needs and goal)and some steps have been already done to exploit these differences in order to improve the effectiveness of enterprise search. In this paper we present the state of the art of the enterprise search field with some open issues. We also present a research plan that aims at using Information Retrieval, Semantic Web, and User Modelling techniques to cope with these issues improving the current state of enterprise search
