Semantic Web Dog Food

Presented at: 6th International and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2007+ASWC2007)

by Tuukka Ruotsalo, Eero Hyvönen

This paper presents a method for making metadata conforming to heterogeneous schemas semantically interoperable. The idea is to make the knowledge embedded in the schema structures interoperable and explicit by transforming the schemas into a shared, event-based representation of knowledge about the real world. This enables and simplifies accurate reasoning services such as cross-domain semantic search, browsing, and recommending. A case study of transforming three different schemas and datasets is presented. An implemented knowledge-based recommender system utilizing the results in the semantic portal CULTURESAMPO was found useful in a preliminary user study.

An Event-based Approach for Semantic Metadata Interoperability was presented at this event.
