Information fusion system for semantic datasets
KnoFuss represents a modular architecture for automated knowledge fusion of Semantic Web repositories. Knowledge fusion involves two main subtasks: coreference resolution and inconsistency resolution. Different datasets often contain information about the same entities but refer to them using different URIs. Identifying such individuals is the task of coreference resolution. Moreover, pieces of data defined in different knowledge bases can influence each other (e.g., they can be mutually contradictory). Inconsistency resolution is needed to process such cases. The KnoFuss architecture allows different methods for coreference resolution and inconsistency resolution to be combined in order to improve the quality of resulting data.
