Falcon-S provides a graph-based user interface to let the user define interesting semantic queries to search related images. - Explore.

Falcon-S crawls the World Wide Web for images on soccer, analyses their context and indexes them on the individuals (e.g., players, teams) in a knowledge base described by a background soccer ontology. The knowledge base integrates the information from the official web site of FIFA, UEFA and etc. Keyword-based searches are mapped to one or more such individuals, and the related images are returned.
