Abstract
This thesis explores the possibilities of using the view-based search paradigm to create intelligent user
interfaces on the Semantic Web. After surveying several semantic search techniques, the view-based search
paradigm is explained, and argued to fit in a valuable niche in the field. To test the argument, numerous
portals with different user interfaces and data were built using the paradigm. Based on the results of these
experiments, this thesis argues that the paradigm provides a strong, extensible and flexible base on which to
built semantic user interfaces. Designing the actual systems to be as adaptable as possible is also discussed.
