Language Technology in the Ontology Lifecycle
This event took place on Friday 13 January 2006 at 12:30

 
Dr Paul Buitelaar German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI)

In this talk I will discuss and illustrate the role of language technology in the ontology lifecycle, specifically in regard to ontology selection, population, deployment and evolution. Solutions based on language technology for each of these steps in the ontology lifecycle will be presented by applications that we are currently working on at DFKI. Additionally, I will address the linguistic (and multilingual) dimension of ontologies and present a lexicon model for the integration of linguistic information into ontologies. Most of the work presented here is performed in the context of the German funded project SmartWeb (http://www.smartweb-projekt.de/) on intelligent information access in the WorldCup football domain.

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.
