A Comprehensive Framework for Semantic Annotation of Web Content

Topics: Ontology Engineering; Semantic Web; Knowledge Acquisition

Authors: Manuel Fiorelli , Maria Teresa Pazienza and Armando Stellato

Affiliation: University of Rome, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0004545702450252

Proceedings of KEOD 2013/IC3K, ISBN: 978-989-8565-81-5

Quick Abstract

Studies on Semantic Annotation reveal how trying to match heterogeneous requirements leads to divergent methodologies, models and processes for annotation management and exchange. Community efforts towards the development of shared solutions are important to reduce the “entropy” of the field; nonetheless, any agreement on the ultimate annotation system is unlikely to be achieved. We propose a solution to this problem by defining a comprehensive framework, unbound to any specific design/annotation model, and instantiable into concrete system implementations, to meet different requirements. Towards this goal, we commit to fairly general assumptions, valid across disparate systems and not excessively constraining. Firstly, most systems deal with combined management of ontologies and Web content. Secondly, these systems can be described through a common behavioural model, in terms of an assignment of handlers to predetermined events. This behavioural model can be then enriched through progressive levels of specification, thus fostering a convention-over-configuration approach in detailing its characteristics. Then, recurring design fragments can be identified, in order to provide abstractions and specifications for the definition of concrete handlers.

EDUCATION WITH “LIVING ARTWORKS” IN MUSEUMS

Topic: Intelligent Tutoring Systems

Authors: Roberta Beccaceci , Francesca Fallucchi , Cristina Giannone , Francesca Spagnoulo and Fabio Massimo Zanzotto

Affiliation: University of Rome ”Tor Vergata”, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0002158903460349

Proceedings of CSEDU 2009, ISBN: 978-989-8111-82-1

Quick Abstract

Museums need to find innovative ways of communicating if these institutions want to survive in the new era and want to play their active role of educators. In this paper, we will present our idea of living artworks. Using conversational agents we want to give artworks the capability of talking to visitors. A living artwork attracts attention, being a funny and novel combination of art and technology. The mix of experience and action has a beneficial effect in learning new concepts or facts. We will then present our methodology for building living artworks, the enabling technologies, and a case study.

SEMANTIC TURKEY - A New Web Experience in between Ontology Editing and Semantic Annotation

Topics: XML and Data Management; Searching and Browsing; System Integration; Web Services and Web Engineering; Distributed and Parallel Applications; Multimedia and User Interfaces; Digital Libraries; Databases and Datawarehouses; Ontology and the Semantic Web; Web Mining

Authors: Francesca Falluchi , Maria Teresa Pazienza , Noemi Scarpato and Armando Stellato

Affiliation: DISP, University of Tor Vergata, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0001526600900097

Proceedings of WEBIST 2008, ISBN: 978-989-8111-27-2

Quick Abstract

In this work we describe Semantic Turkey, a Semantic Extension for the popular web browser Mozilla Firefox. Semantic Turkey can be used to keep track of relevant information from visited web sites and organize collected content according to a personally defined ontology. In this sense, Semantic Turkey can be seen both as an advanced semantic bookmarking system as well as an ontology editing assistant, which allows domain experts and ontology developers to build ontologies starting from the very raw source of information which they find on the web. The open architecture of Semantic Turkey and the specific three-layered approach of its design also allows for scaling the basic personal desktop application embodied by this tool up to a distributed framework for collaborative semantic annotation and ontology editing. This paper describes the architecture and the functionalities of the Semantic Turkey extension for Firefox, and describe possible evolutions for future improvement of the tool.

SOFTWARE SEMANTIC PROVISIONING - Actually Reusing Software

Topics: Agile Software Development; Knowledge Management and Engineering; Cross-Feeding between Data Engineering and Software Engineering; Software Development Methodologies

Authors: Savino Sguera ¹ , Philippe Ombredanne ² , Armando Stellato ¹ and Maria Teresa Pazienza ¹

Affiliations: ¹ DISP, University of Rome Tor Vergata, Italy , ² Eclipse Software Foundation, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0001763501850188

Proceedings of ENASE 2008, ISBN: 978-989-8111-28-9

Quick Abstract

Delivering component-oriented architectures is a well-established trend in software engineering and development. Assessing software reuse scenarios goes much beyond the usual “build vs buy” dilemma that so often occurs in early stages of a software process: scouting, comparing, choosing and integrating the right set of components meeting project’s requirements is still an ad-hoc and error-prone task, performed by developers with little or no frameworks and tools to support them. This paper describes the SSP (Software Semantic Provisioning) project, funded in its early stages by GoogleTM Inc., developed during the Google Summer of CodeTM 2007 program, and incubated by the Eclipse Software Foundation; the project aims to provide an ontological description of the software domain to underlie a semantic web framework to support developers in scouting and provisioning software components. A prototypical RESTful semantic repository, and an Eclipse plug-in consuming the repository services have been implemented and will be discussed.

THEMATIC OASES - Towards a Social Semantic Web

Topics: Searching and Browsing; Web Services and Web Engineering; Ontology and the Semantic Web

Authors: Maria Teresa Pazienza , Savino Sguera and Armando Stellato

Affiliation: DISP, University of Tor Vergata, Italy

Digital Object Identifier: 10.5220/0001532603510354

Proceedings of WEBIST 2008, ISBN: 978-989-8111-27-2

Quick Abstract

A few years have passed from the first alarming yells about the unmanageable growth of data which is literally exploding from the Web. While Web2.0 technologies, born and grown from the crowd of the web community, are reaching their full maturity, and with W3C eventually managing to give concreteness to Berners-Lee Semantic Web Vision through a plethora of new languages and protocols, the same problem is still a living matter. Lots of vendors and providers offer social services with more-than-overlapping aspects, but with no intentions of sharing their data. RSS aggregators as well as blog and mailing list scrapers, erupt tons of data which are irritatingly replicated by search engines indexes. At the same time, most of the information services (wikis, blogs, mailing lists, forums, newsgroups etc...) still maintain their traditional functionalities and move no step forward reaching any kind of interoperability. In this paper we analyze the current scenario and propose our personal view on how new Semantic Web technologies could be employed to give life to a new generation of social, heterogeneous and coordinated informative services: Thematic Oases.
