The need to manage electronic documents is an open issue in the digital era. It becomes a challenging problem on the internet where a large amount of data needs even more efficient and effective methods and techniques for mining and representing information. In this context, document summarization, browsing processes and visualization techniques have had a great impact on several dimensions of user information perception. In this context, the use of ontologies for knowledge representation has rapidly grown in the last years in several application domains together with social-based techniques such as tag clouds. This form of visualization tool is becoming particularly useful in the interaction process between users and social applications where a huge amount of data needs to have effective and efficient interfaces. In this article, the authors propose a novel methodology based on a combination of ontologies and Tag Clouds for web document collections browsing and summarizing, they call this tool Semantic Tag Cloud.
