Lately, a focus has been given to the re-usability of workflow definitions and to flexible and re-usable workflow components, culminating with approaches that harness the benefits of the enriched semantics provided by ontologies. Following this trend and the needs of multiple application domains, such as micro-task crowdsourcing and ambient assisted living, of incorporating cooperation between ...

Definition extraction is the task of automatically identifying definitional sentences within texts. The task has proven useful in many research areas including ontology learning, relation extraction and question answering. However, current approaches – mostly focused on lexicosyntactic patterns – suffer from both low recall and precision, as definitional sentences occur in highly variable synta...

This paper addresses the issue of re-usability in personalised web-based learning environments. The paper focuses on the work of the European IST Project KOD “Knowledge on Demand”, towards the definition of an architecture, and the implementation of a system that promotes re-usable adaptive educational e-content. The proposed architecture is presented, and the elements of the KOD prototype syst...
