Towards Vagueness-Aware Semantic Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The emergence in recent years of initiatives like the Linked Open Data (LOD) has led to a significant increase in the amount of structured semantic data on the Web. In this paper we argue that the shareability and wider reuse of such data can very often be hampered by the existence of vagueness within it, as this makes the data’s meaning less explicit. Moreover, as a way to reduce this problem, we propose a vagueness metaontology that may represent in an explicit way the nature and characteristics of vague elements within semantic data.

Towards a Resource for Lexical Semantics: A Large German Corpus with Extensive Semantic Annotation
We describe the ongoing construction of a large, semantically annotated corpus resource as reliable basis for the largescale acquisition of word-semantic information, e.g. the construction of domainindependent lexica. The backbone of the annotation are semantic roles in the frame semantics paradigm. We report experiences and evaluate the annotated data from the first project stage. On this basi...
متن کاملManaging uncertainty and vagueness in description logics for the Semantic Web
Ontologies play a crucial role in the development of the Semantic Web as a means for defining shared terms in web resources. They are formulated in web ontology languages, which are based on expressive description logics. Significant research efforts in the semantic web community are recently directed towards representing and reasoning with uncertainty and vagueness in ontologies for the Semant...
متن کاملApplying Fuzzy DLs in the Extraction of Image Semantics
Statistical learning approaches, bounded mainly to knowledge related to perceptual manifestations of semantics, fall short to adequately utilise the meaning and logical connotations pertaining to the extracted image semantics. Instigated by the Semantic Web, ontologies have appealed to a significant share of synergistic approaches towards the combined use of statistical learning and explicit se...
متن کاملContext-aware Collaborative Creation of Semantic Points of Interest as Linked Data
The csxPOI system enables its users to collaboratively create, share, and modify points of interest, which describe geographic places with explicit semantic properties instead of using vague annotations such as tags. Users can edit their own points of interest and those shared by others, but also adapt the structure of the ontology underlying the semantic annotations. The interface for all user...
متن کاملVagueness in Geographic Categories A Setback to Semantic Interoperability
In semantic interoperability, the main issue is to develop semantic models of geographic data that will include definitions and vocabulary necessary for data integration. Geographic data must be organized in categorization schemata before it can be integrated, but those schemata, exhibit vagueness. Vagueness can be found in geographic categories not only in the cognitive aspect of prototypical ...
