Non-standard inference services in Description Logics for semantically annotated resource retrieval
This event took place on Thursday 05 May 2005 at 13:00

 
Tommaso Di Noia Information Technology Engineering, Politecnico di Bari, Italy

A semantically annotated resource is any kind of good, tangible or intangible (e.g. a document, a image, a product, a service) endowed of a description that refers to a shared ontology.

In this talk we present services that aim at fully exploiting the semantic annotation, to provide principled approximated resource retrieval. We introduce and motivate, in particular, services - based on the formal semantics of Description Logics languages - for resource ranking and/or composition using Concept Contraction and Concept Abduction.

Knowledge Management is...


Knowledge Management
Creating learning organisations hinges on managing knowledge at many levels. Knowledge can be provided by individuals or it can be created as a collective effort of a group working together towards a common goal, it can be situated as "war stories" or it can be generalised as guidelines, it can be described informally as comments in a natural language, pictures and technical drawings or it can be formalised as mathematical formulae and rules, it can be expressed explicitly or it can be tacit, embedded in the work product. The recipient of knowledge - the learner - can be an individual or a work group, professionals, university students, schoolchildren or informal communities of interest.
Our aim is to capture, analyse and organise knowledge, regardless of its origin and form and make it available to the learner when needed presented with the necessary context and in a form supporting the learning processes.
