Next Generation Semantic Web Applications Smart Features NG SW Application Semantic Web • Able to exploit the SW at large • Dynamically retrieving the relevant semantic resources • Combining several, heterogeneous Ontologies • Need tools and infrastructures to efficiently access the knowledge available on the SW: a Gateway…
Collecting and Analyzing Knowledge • Hundreds of thousands of semantic documents. • Millions of RDF entities, most of them being instances. • New sources of knowledge are frequently integrated (DBPedia, geoname, etc.)
Interface Interfaces: WUI Web User Interface:http://watson.kmi.open.ac.uk/WatsonWUI
Web services and API • Allows applications developers to access Watson features, and so the collected knowledge, in a lightweight way. • But what applications (can) do with it?
Applications Folksonomy Enrichment PowerAqua: Question Answering Protégé and NeOn Toolkit plugin: Knowledge reuse PowerMagpie: Semantic Browsing Ontology Matching, etc…
Watson NeOn Toolkit plugin • While building an ontology with the Neon toolkit • Find descriptions of existing entities in Web ontologies • Integrate these descriptions into the edited ontology • Thus allowing knowledge reuse at the scale of the Semantic Web • In one simple, integrated, and interactive tool
To be continued • Both the Watson plugin and Watson in general are ongoing work • Current work in many areas related to NeOn activities • Detecting and managing relations between ontologies (equivalences, versions, compatibility, etc.) • Combining automatic evaluation, user evaluation and trust for (customized) ontology ranking • Exchange with the Oyster peer network (the NeOn registry) and the alignment server • From reusing knowledge to creating networks of ontologies
