When we search for information on the WWW, we use various heuristics such as empirical knowledge and common-sense. For example, the following heuristics seems reasonable when we search information on artificial intelligence.

Such kind of heuristics can make the information gathering process more effective in cooperation with ontologies. For instance, the heuristics that `` if search for information on AI, go pages of laboratory'' is described as follows:
``artificial intelligence''IICA gives priority over the pages which contain term ``laboratory'' and access them by using the heuristics.``laboratory''
