Term 1..N (similar pattern for: Tags, Ontology Elements)
+ Likelihood of relevant documents
+ Likelihood of usage in queries
- limited information value
balance between frequency and specificity
+ higher information value
+ highest information value if needed
- likelihood of occurrence in query low
- likelihood of relevant documents low

Findings and Lessons Learned
• Understanding of ontology engineering and annotation under economic constraints
• In our setting, consolidation of synonyms and lexical variants does a great deal of the job

Future Extensions
• Task and Context
• Annotate individual sections of resources
• Skills / Users’ Competencies vs. Target Audience of a Resource
• Hybrid Search: Combining term-based and conceptual searchE.g. see Bhagdev/Chapman/Ciravegna, Vitaveska Lanfranchi, Daniela Petrelli: Hybrid Search: Effectively Combining Keywords and Semantic Searches, ESWC 2008
