Abstract

The questions that can arise from the users searching for domain-specific answers can hardly be answered with Web search engines. A corpus-dedicated platform is generally needed. In this paper, we present how the Wikibase environment can be employed to make documents searchable efficiently. We use this environment for the Disability Wiki platform. Search for information can be both on the metadata as well as on the content of the documents.
