Multifaceted approach to ontologizing the ONTOLOG contentRooted in pragmatism, tools, services, and standards, and social collaboration E. Michael (Max) Maximilien Almaden Services Research http://maximilien.org Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA
Approach and thesis • Two key problems • Lack of pragmatism in the goals of ontologies • Heterogeneity of usage and use cases • Summary of approach • Simple tagging for human collaboration (folksonomies) as well as rating systems for content parts • Covert audio automatically into annotated text transcript • Mining tools to automate annotation of content and infer taxonomies • Ontology for outline of content • Secret sauce is in how we combine the semantics, i.e., algorithm, and the use cases we try to solve Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA
Tagging and ratings – Human collaboration • Tagging • Idiosyncratic • Results in bag of tags forming folksonomies • Various available services, e.g., http://del.icio.us, http://flikr.com, and so on • Need incentives for humans, e.g., easier search • Evolving into some form of “ontology” (see Peter Mika’s paper “Ontologies are us: A unified model of social networks and semantics” at ICSW 2005) • Ratings • Enables feedback • Rate ratings to avoid collusion • Similar to http://digg.com, Amazon’s rating system, and eBay.com reputation system (various works in literature) Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA
Audio content • Automated transcript • Use services to convert audio to text transcript • Some services, e.g., http://podzinger.com, also annotate the transcript and do more than close captions • May involve human collaboration to gradually improve content (especially resolving context errors) • Issues • ONTOLOG audio (Podcast) have some low quality MP3 • Static noise and “voice storms” Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA
Mining • Automatic annotation of content • Mature tool set in UIMA • Others (?) • Generate initial taxonomy • Continual process to update annotation • Dr. David Ferrucci (IBM Research) lead architect of UIMA project to present to community on May 11, 2006 Almaden Research Center, San Jose, CA
Ontology • Outline • Create initial outline of site content with some upper ontology • Reuse existing ontology • IMO this ontology can be specific to ONTOLOG • What are the primary goals for this outline and ontology? • Cataloguing • Search (why not just use Google services?) • Statistics (why not just use Amazon’s Alexa services?) • Others (?)
