KMi Seminars
An Open Rating System for Collaborative Ontology Evaluation
This event took place on Thursday 31 January 2008 at 11:30

 
Holger Lewen AIFB, Universität Karlsruhe (TH)

Open Rating Systems provide a means for obtaining many opinions on content from different people. The basic idea is that when seeking advice, people turn to someone they trust and whose opinion they value. Based on statements about the perceived trust towards the ability of another user to provide helpful reviews, reviews will be presented in an order that is inferred to be most useful for the user. Basic Open Rating Systems are currently employed when products should be ratable for end-users, like Amazon's product reviews.

In this talk an adapted Open Rating System model is presented that is tailored to ontology reviewing. It will be shown how such a system can be seen used as an ontology evaluation framework that can combine automated and human reviews. Also the status of the ongoing effort of integration with Watson will be discussed.

Future Internet is...


Future Internet
With over a billion users, today's Internet is arguably the most successful human artifact ever created. The Internet's physical infrastructure, software, and content now play an integral part of the lives of everyone on the planet, whether they interact with it directly or not. Now nearing its fifth decade, the Internet has shown remarkable resilience and flexibility in the face of ever increasing numbers of users, data volume, and changing usage patterns, but faces growing challenges in meetings the needs of our knowledge society. Globally, many major initiatives are underway to address the need for more scientific research, physical infrastructure investment, better education, and better utilisation of the Internet. Within Japan, USA and Europe major new initiatives have begun in the area.

To succeed the Future Internet will need to address a number of cross-cutting challenges including:

  • Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness

  • Trust when government, medical, financial, personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection

  • Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated

  • Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities

  • Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices, and velocities
