KB July 7 2009 STITCH final event
Agenda • Brief presentation of STITCH main achievements • Demo: annotation suggestion at KB • The future use of STITCH results in Subject Indexing at the KB
Background: CATCH • 10 projects • IT research + Cultureel Erfgoed (Cultural Heritage) • Investigating CH problems, producing applications for CH
The STITCH project • Antoine Isaac • Lourens van der Meij • Shenghui Wang • Henk Matthezing, KB • Stefan Schlobach, VU • Claus Zinn, MPI • Paul Doorenbosch, KB • Frank van Harmelen, VU • Peter Wittenburg, MPI Dirk Kramer Johan Stapel http://stitch.cs.vu.nl/
Application: integrated faceted browser KB Illuminated manuscripts BNF manuscripts
Live demo? Cross-lingual multi-collection search
In the background • Homogeneous representation of thesauri: SKOS • Simple Knowledge Organization System • (open)standard to exchange thesauri on the Semantic Web
In the background • Semantic alignment of thesauri
STITCH and SKOS Participating in the design of the SKOS model Having SKOS benefit from experience in KB and CH domain A web-service repository of thesauri and alignments Repository web service VU MPI
Live demo? • http://kits.cs.vu.nl:38080/vocreptags/autocompleteplus.jsp • http://stitch.cs.vu.nl/repository/
How to align thesauri? • Answer: many techniques • Using labels of conceptss • frog = frog • frog = frogs • frog = grenouille • Using extensional information • The objects described with concepts to align • For example, books
Using extensional concept information: example Aligning GTT and Brinkman
Automatic statistic alignment Brinkman GTT plankzeilen surfsport
Extensional alignments • Takes into account variability of usage • Can be useful for specific application scenarios
Application scenarios? • STITCH = IT research embedded at KB • Pushing research to KB • Converting KB thesauri to open standards (SKOS) • Presentations, publications in KB context • DEN, Informatie Professional • Pushing KB applications to research community • CH experience feeding design of standards • KB case used as benchmark for alignment research • Using CH scenarios to deploy and evaluate alignments
Making it work for KB! • Let's see this… • But before: questions?
