An ISN must include adequate means to recover information that make sense for all. A search mechanism capable of understanding the shared meanings used by the ISN users is still needed. In this sense methods and approaches should support capturing the social and cultural aspects from the ISN including its colloquial language and the shared meanings. In order to achieve a better understanding and representation of the semantics utilized by ISN members, this technical report presents the application and the analysis of a semantic modeling method proposed to represent meanings of terms adopted by ISN users. The outcome of the method is intended to be used by an inclusive search mechanism. This approach can enable novel ontology-based search strategies that potentially provide more adequate semantic search results. } }
