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.

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.
