  7. Overall model for semantic Interoperability Aims • Strategies for retrieval and exploration in distributed systems • Integration of structurally and typologically different systems • Overall system consisting of an ontological spine and attached satellites Features • Simple hierarchical core system • Detailed bilateral mappings • Expressive multidimensional definition of intersystem and interconcept relations • Shared inventory of standard relations 7

  10. Levels of interoperability „TREE“ Enhanced conceptual interoperability Conceptual interoperability Basic interoperability 10

  11. Basic interoperability Simple pattern matching „TREE“ Features • Easy implementation • No indexing languages required • Limited access and limited search functionalities • No modification / expansion possible Methods • Mapping on word level • Unspecified one-to-one equivalences represented in a simple cross-concordance. 11

  12. Basic interoperability Simple pattern matching

  13. Conceptual interoperability Conceptual query Features • Focus on the conceptual level • Multiple access points via synonyms • Structural transparency • Simple expansion strategies Methods • Mapping concepts independently from their actual representation in the various indexing languages. • Structural and typological differences should be taken into account. 13

  14. Conceptual interoperability Conceptual query

  15. Enhanced conceptual interoperability Conceptual exploration Features • Modification / expansion of queries • Conceptual exploration of a knowledge field • Query-clarification as a useful pre-search mechanism Requirements • Various types of expressive semantic relations have to be specified in great detail. • Well-structured relational inventories • Control- and selection-mechanisms to handle the complexity of the relational structure 15

  16. Enhanced conceptual interoperability Conceptual exploration Methods • Differentiated conceptual mappings • Interpretation of the semantically enhanced relational structure • Relations between concepts have to be specified 16

  23. Thematic exploration / thematic interoperability ? • Thematic exploration requires navigation and interpretation on the conceptual level via an enhanced conceptual interoperability and an exploratory component on the syntactical level. • Thematic entities / Syntagmata are always combinations of semantic entities and syntactic rules. • Need for a clear-cut distinction between the enhanced semantic level and the syntactic level.

  24. Thematic exploration / thematic interoperability ? • Syntagmata can only be accessed by a careful analysis of their semantic components and syntactic structures. • Themes / Syntagmata can never be part of the semantic level, therefore the idea of a thematic interoperability as an advanced level of semantic interoperability is problematic. • Semantic interoperability between individual KOS can function as an intermediary when accessing / matching syntagmata.

  26. From retrieval to knowledge exploration: example 1 Search interest: Gemüseanbau Search result Semantic environment: Gemüseanbau -> Gemüsebau Search result Integration of all narrower SWD terms 20 hits Data basis: ca. 330.000 documents of the German National Library (DNB) which are heterogeneously indexed (DDC, SWD)

  27. From retrieval to knowledge exploration: example 1 Context: 600 Technik, Medizin, angewandte Wissenschaften 630 Landwirtschaft 633-635 Einzelne Kulturpflanzen 635 Gartenpflanzen (Gartenbau) ; Gemüse 635.0284 Geräte, Ausstattung, Materialien 635.0285 Gartenbau—Computereinsatz 635.029 Gartenbau - Unternehmen - Verzeichnis 635.04 *Anbau, Ernte, verwandte Themen 635.05 Gartenbau—fortlaufende Sammelwerke 635.1-635.8 Gartengemüse 635.9 Blumen und Zierpflanzen Search for 635: 198 hits (as notation) 351 hits (as part of a built number) Transition to DDC Gemüsebau (Register) -> 635 Gartenpflanzen (Gartenbau) ; Gemüse

  28. From retrieval to knowledge exploration: example 1 Selection: Gemüsebaubetrieb Blattfrüchte Exotisches Gemüse Feldgemüse Feldgemüsebau Frühgemüse Gemüse Gemüsebau Gemüsegarten Gemüseproduktion high average Connected to the class are: 12 index terms 4 SWD headings of high relevance 27 SWD headings of average relevance 8 SWD headings of low relevance low

  29. From retrieval to knowledge exploration: example 1 Option 1: Structure search results according to the mapped SWD headings

  30. From retrieval to knowledge exploration: example 1 Option 2: Modified queries by selection of mapped SWD headings, for example: Search for: Exotisches Gemüse: 1 hit Feldgemüse: 1 hit Gemüse: 36 hits Gemüsebau: 11 hits Gemüsegarten: 23 hits Gemüseproduktion: 1 hit
