With the constant growth in the quantity of websites, and consequently the increase in content availability throughout the Internet, the development of search mechanisms that enable access to reliable information has become a complex activity. In this sense, this work presents a revision on the behavior of search mechanisms, as well as the manner through which they map information, including the study of ontologies and knowledge bases, as well as forms of knowledge representation on the Internet. These models integrate the Semantic Web, which constitutes a proposal for the organization of information. Based on these elements, a search mechanism was developed for a specific domain: videogames. This mechanism is based on the classification of electronic games by specialized review websites, where one may extract information about select titles. As such, this work is divided in four stages. Firstly, data is extracted from the aforementioned websites for previously selected titles through the use of a webcrawler. Secondly, an analysis is performed on the obtained data on two fronts, utilizing natural computing as well as power-law concepts. Next, an ontology for videogames is constructed, with its subsequent publication in a knowledge base accessible to the software. Lastly, the implementation of the actual mechanism, which will make use of the knowledge base and bring the user suggestions pertaining to his search, such as titles or related characteristics intrinsic to games that may be evaluated relating to the search. This work also hopes to present itself as a useful model that may be utilized in different domains, such as movies, travel destinations, electronic appliances and software, among others.
