Automatically Generated DAML Markup for Semistructured Documents

The semantic web is becoming a realizable technology due to the efforts of researchers to develop semantic markup languages such as the DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML). A major problem that faces the semantic web community is that most information sources on the web today lack semantic markup. To fully realize the potential of the semantic web, we must find a way to automatically upgrade information sources with semantic markup. We have developed a system based on the STALKER algorithm that automatically generates DAML markup for a set of documents based on previously seen labeled training documents. Our ultimate goal is to develop a program that performs DAML markup for arbitrary documents given a particular ontology.
