Integrating Deep and Shallow Semantic Structures in Open Ontology Forge
This event took place on Friday 15 October 2004 at 13:30

 
Dr Nigel Collier National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo

Work in knowledge representation undertaken as part of the Semantic Web initiative has enabled a common infrastructure (Resource Description Framework (RDF) and RDF Schema) for sharing knowledge of ontologies and instances. In this talk I present a framework for combining the shallow levels of semantic description commonly used in MUC-style information extraction (IE) with the deeper semantic structures available in such ontologies. The framework is implemented within the PIA project software called Open Ontology Forge (OOF). OOF offers a rich desktop based environment for editing ontologies and large-scale capture of text and image annotations. It will also soon support a modular architecture for plug-ins which will allow IE components to reduce the effort making annotations by human experts. We discuss the knowledge framework, some features of the system and summarize work within our group on component IE technologies such as named entity, coreference and event annotation.

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.
