English abstract

The research project, which we hereby detail, has been utterly dedicated to explain the birth and evolution of an information repository called XTMdb whose basic principles are bound to integrate complementary tagging languages such as: SKOS; MODS, Dublin Core and/or GILS with the paradigm of topic maps. Once the information processing was completed, we could test it by means of designing an efficient information retrieval process which, at the same time, allows the information resources description to be extended in real time. On the one hand, the main objective lies in obtaining greater expressivity, independence in relation to the tagging language, as well as improved searches since the search can be centred on the topic concept. On the other hand, certain aspects remain outstanding which can lead to interesting discussions such as: the topic maps paradigm can provide added value visual information, it helps make the development of a support system decision easy and soft-computing techniques can solve a considerable amount of problems in relation to the information retrieval process.
