Abstract
Social network analysis (SNA) has become one of the main themes in the Semantic Web agenda. The use of web is steadily gaining ground in the study of social networks. Few researchers have shown the possibility of extracting social network from the Web via search engine. However to get a rich and trusted social network from such an approach proved to be difficult. In this paper we proposed an Information Retrieval (IR) driven method for dealing with the heterogeneity of features in the Web. We demontrate the possibility of exploiting features in Web snippets returned by search engines for disambiguating entities and building relations among entities during the process of extracting social networks. Our approach has shown the capacity to extract underlying strength relations which are beyond recognition using the standard co-occurrence analysis employed by many research.
