Compendium is a knowledge mapping application equipped with graphical representations of ideas and arguments. Extension of the processes in Compendium with Semantic Web technologies can be beneficial for the intelligent searching of concepts or ideas, and supporting decision making process. This paper presents the extended Compendium which exploits the Semantic Web for knowledge representation ...

Semantic Web is an extension of the current Web. It gives the existing Web content a well-defined meaning: enabling machines understand and process semantic information, and cooperate with humans to realize the full potential of the Web. In this paper, we give a general description and discuss the role of each layer of the Semantic Web architecture, and compare Semantic Web and the XML based We...

Standardizing the Semantic Web is still an ongoing process. For some aspects, the standardization seems to have completed. For example, the syntax layer, the RDF data model layer and the RDFS and OWL semantic extensions have proven to fulfill their purpose in real world applications. Other aspects, while necessary to realize the greater ideal of the Semantic Web, are yet to be standardized. One...

Semantic MediaWiki is an extension of MediaWiki – a widely used wiki-engine that also powers Wikipedia. Its aim is to make semantic technologies available to a broad community by smoothly integrating them with the established usage of MediaWiki. The software is already used on a number of productive installations world-wide, but the main target remains to establish “Semantic Wikipedia” as an ea...

The concurrency features of the RAISE specification language RSL are based on an adaptation of Hennessy’s model of acceptance trees [Hen85]. An extension was necessary to meet requirements of RSL. A paper by Bolignano and Debabi [BD92] describes this extension. We will revisit this extension, now formalising the relationship between the basic model and its extension in a rigorous way. We will s...

This paper presents a new format for process algebras, the extended tyft/tyxt format which generalises the tyft/tyxt format of Groote and Vaandrager. The format differs from most previous formats in that the labels on transitions are treated as manysorted terms. Bisimulation is a congruence for all operators defined by extended transition system specifications in this format. When one extended ...

In this paper we present an extension of a machine learning based coreference resolution system which uses features induced from different semantic knowledge sources. These features represent knowledge mined from WordNet and Wikipedia, as well as information about semantic role labels. We show that semantic features indeed improve the performance on different referring expression types such as ...

Semantic web search engines can take advantage of machineunderstandable data published on the Web to provide more precise search results and advanced query capabilities. Semantic data embedded in web documents (serialized as RDFa or microformats, for example) can be used in conjunction with a semantic web search engine to provide a better web navigation experience. We present Semantic Navigator...

The paper presents advances in the use of semantic features and interlingua relations for word sense disambiguation (WSD) as part of unification-based deep processing grammars. Formally we present an extension of Minimal Recursion Semantics, introducing sortal specifications as well as linterlingua semantic relations as a means of semantic decomposition.

In Construction Morphology (CM), a compound is treated as a construction at the word level with a systematic correlation between its form and meaning, in the sense that any change in the form is accompanied by a change in the meaning. Compound words are coined by compounding templates which are called abstract schemas in CM. These abstract constructional schemas generalize over sets of existing...
