Extending a geo-catalogue with matching capabilities
To achieve semantic interoperability, geo-spatial applications need to be equipped with tools able to understand user terminology that is typically different from the one enforced by standards. In this paper we summarize our experience in providing a semantic extension to the geo-catalogue of the Autonomous Province of Trento (PAT) in Italy. The semantic extension is based on the adoption of the S-Match semantic matching tool and on the use of a specifically designed faceted ontology codifying domain specific knowledge. We also briefly report our experience in the integration of the ontology with the geo-spatial ontology GeoWordNet
Conceptual Linking: Ontology-based Open Hypermedia
This paper describes the attempts of the COHSE project to define and deploy a Conceptual Open Hypermedia Service. Consisting of • an ontological reasoning service which is used to represent a sophisticated conceptual model of document terms and their relationships; • a Web-based open hypermedia link service that can offer a range of different link-providing facilities in a scalable and non-intrusive fashion; and integrated to form a conceptual hypermedia system to enable documents to be linked via metadata describing their contents and hence to improve the consistency and breadth of linking of WWW documents at retrieval time (as readers browse the documents) and authoring time (as authors create the documents)

Unsupervised Terminological Ontology Learning based on Hierarchical Topic Modeling
In this paper, we present hierarchical relationbased latent Dirichlet
allocation (hrLDA), a data-driven hierarchical topic model for extracting
terminological ontologies from a large number of heterogeneous documents. In
contrast to traditional topic models, hrLDA relies on noun phrases instead of
unigrams, considers syntax and document structures, and enriches topic
hierarchies with topic relations. Through a series of experiments, we
demonstrate the superiority of hrLDA over existing topic models, especially for
building hierarchies. Furthermore, we illustrate the robustness of hrLDA in the
settings of noisy data sets, which are likely to occur in many practical
scenarios. Our ontology evaluation results show that ontologies extracted from
hrLDA are very competitive with the ontologies created by domain experts
