At our institutes we are working with quite some dictionaries and lexical resources in the field of less-resourced language data, like dialects and historical languages. We are aiming at publishing those lexical data in the Linked Open Data framework in order to link them with available data sets for highly-resourced languages and elevating them thus to the same “digital dignity” the mainstream...

Information status plays an important role in discourse processing. According to the hearer’s common sense knowledge and his comprehension of the preceding text, a discourse entity could be old, mediated or new. In this paper, we propose an attention-based LSTM model to address the problem of fine-grained information status classification in an incremental manner. Our approach resembles how hum...

This paper describes an approach to SKOS vocabulary mapping that takes into account the context in which vocabulary terms are used in annotations. The standard vocabulary mapping properties in SKOS only allow for binary mappings between concepts. In the BestMap ontology, annotated resources are the contexts in which annotations coincide and allow for a more fine grained control over when mappin...

 Map three related source taxonomies  Produce a single taxonomy suitable for sharing across use cases  Release for public review  Integrate community feedback  Publish revised human readable version  Implement across selected use cases  Publish machine readable versions (SKOS, SPARQL interface)  Experiment with integration across use cases 2000 The Concept of Scholarly Primitives (1) 20...

Terminology management is an important aspect for ensuring data quality in large organizations. To enable expert applications the use of agreed and curated terms enhances data quality while it significantly reduces the long-term cost for data integration. In this abstract, we outline our solution for two problems that occur in the context of terminology management for applications.

This paper describes an ongoing work on the construction of a SKOS thesaurus to support multi-disciplinary studies on the transmission of zoological knowledge throughout historical periods, combining the analysis of ancient literature, iconographic and archaeozoological resources. We first describe the I2AF, a national archaeozoological and archaeobotanical inventory database integrating data f...

Résumé : L’intégration des ressources terminologiques et ontologiques d’un domaine est un enjeu majeur en vue de leur pleine exploitation par des organisations. Cette intégration est rendue difficile par l’hétérogénéité des ressources et de leur formalisme de représentation (SKOS, BS 8723, etc.). Ces formalismes se différencient principalement par leur richesse d’expressivité. Dans cet article,...

The AHRC funded STAR project (Semantic Technologies for Archaeological Resources) has developed web services for knowledge organisation systems (KOS) represented in SKOS RDF format, building on previous work by the University of Glamorgan Hypermedia Research Unit on terminology web services. The current service operates on a repository of multiple (English Heritage) thesauri converted to SKOS f...
