Need for the personalised information service Research goals • Finding interesting stories for himself/herself is non-trivial. • Can be fulfilled by part of an ontology that is tailored to a specific service. • Using lowest-common-denominator medium: an email message. • To improve and ease ontology usability for web users by means of ontology • driven web-based front-ends to personalised services • To provide lightweight means for ontology maintenance triggered by users’ • input by deploying IE techniques along with domain specific templates. Introduction myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service
User Types Activities What is PlanetOnto? PlanetOnto myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service - A kind of news publishing system • An integrated suite of tools • Allow ontology-driven document formalization • Augment standard browsing and search facilities with deductive knowledge retrieval • Journalist : send stories to KMi Planet • Knowledge editors : maintain Planet ontology and the Planet knowledge base • Readers : read the Planet stories • Story submission • Story reading • Story annotation • Provision of customized alerts • Ontology editing • Story soliciting • Story retrieval and query answering
What is myPlanet? Ontological interest-profiling Populating the ontology myPlanet? myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service • web based newsletter by creating a profile based on an ontology. • to improve and ease ontology usability for web users by means of ontology-driven front-ends to personalized services. • to provide lightweight means for ontology maintenance triggered by users’ input by deploying IE techniques along with domain specific templates.
Advantage of using ontology Structure of interests Ontological interest-profiling myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service • read only the e-Stories of their interest • reason about the categories selected by applying ontology-driven deductive heuristics • find implicitly related e-Stories • Research areas that are investigated in KMi • Research themes that are investigated in KMi • Organizations that KMi collborates with • Projects in KMi • Technologies used in KMi • Application domains that are investigated in KMi • People – members of the KMi lab
String matching with cue phrases and cue words Using OCML language Ontological interest-profiling myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service • OCML supports the construction of knowledge models by means of several types of constructs. • It allows the specification and operationalization of functions, relations, classes and rules. • abstraction of the category that is associated with • evidence that e-Story which contains it is relevant to that category

Template-driven information extraction Populating the ontology myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service • domain specific templates • based on typology of events • ex) visiting-a-place-or-people, academic-conference, event-involving-project • key is the trigger word • ex) [ _, X, _, visited, Y, from, Z, _ ]
Example of ontology population myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service Visiting-a-place-or-people [ _, X, _, visited, Y, from, Z, _ ] Visitor: “AKT collaborating institutions” Place: “Sheffield” Date: January 29-31 2001” (def-instance visit-of-akt-collaborating-institutions visiting-a-place-or-people ((has-duration ‘3 days’) (start-time january-29-2001) (end-time january-31-2001) (has-location sheffield) (visitor akt-collaborating-institutions)))
Extending type of output Extending the usage of IE techniques with domain specific templates Automation by deploying inductive learning algorithms Avoidance of duplications or omissions of information Ontology-based reasoning Future work myPlanet: an ontology-driven Web-based personalised news service • reason about the kind of output that will be dispatched to the user by analysing his/her profile • suggestions about potential collaborators on a research topic
