Contextualized Knowledge Repositories for the Semantic Web

Luciano Serafini Data and Knowledge Management, FBK

Though, most of the knowledge available in the Semantic Web is context-dependent, this aspect is not explicitly supported by semantic web representation languages. Some extensions to cope with this limitation have been studied, however, none seems to be satisfactory enough. Rather than extending Semantic Web languages, we propose to fill this gap by tailoring the well established theories of context, developed in the field of AI, to be applicable inside the current Semantic Web languages. In doing this, we take into account the expressivity limitations of RDF/OWL languages, but also the implementability and scalability of the approach within the state-of-the-art triple stores. In this talk, we present a formal definition of a Contextualized Knowledge Repository, its axiomatization, and the description of a first prototypical implementation on top of SESAME, one of the standard Semantic Web triple stores

Narrative Hypermedia is...


Narrative Hypermedia
Narrative is concerned fundamentally with coherence, for instance, whether that be a fiction, an historical account or an argument, none of which 'make sense' unless they are put together in a coherent manner.

Hypermedia is the combination of hypertext for linking and structuring multimedia information.

Narrative Hypermedia is therefore concerned with how all of the above narrative forms, plus the many other diverse forms of discourse possible on the Web, can be effectively designed to communicate coherent conceptual structures, drawing inspiration from theories in narratology, semiotics, psycholinguistics and film.
