FISS: application of fuzzy technologies to an internet metasearcher

In this work a concept representation model (FIS-CPU) has been developed, which is based on two types of fuzzy interrelations between words, synonymy and generality, obtained from a fuzzy dictionary of synonyms [1] and a fuzzy ontology respectively. The model has been put into the metasearcher FISS (Fuzzy Interrelations and Synonymy based Searcher) which is able to retrieve groups of web pages conceptually related among them, improving in this way the quality of the search results.
