@inproceedings{ Title = {An Event-based Approach for Semantic Metadata Interoperability}, Booktitle = {6th International and 2nd Asian Semantic Web Conference (ISWC2007+ASWC2007)}, Year = {2007}, Month = {November}, Pages = {407--420}, Abstract = {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.}, Url = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/iswc-aswc/2007/tracks/research/papers/407} }
