Identification of Design Principles

This report identifies those design principles for a (possibly new) query and transformation language for the Web supporting inference that are considered essential. Based upon these design principles an initial strawman is selected. Scenarios for querying the Semantic Web illustrate the design principles and their reflection in the initial strawman, i.e., a first draft of the query language to be designed and implemented by the REWERSE working group I4

Semantic Invoice Processing

This work highlights how to transform information from invoice documents to semantic models, as an implementation of ontology modeling. The migration from printed paper to digital documents in the Mexican Government Offices in the last few years has brought significant opportunities for the usage of information technologies and applications. However, when changing digital document information into knowledge, there are still many gaps to be filled. This work proposes a solution to some issues regarding ontology modeling, specifically when mapping a document that follows some XML schema to an ontology under the OWL standard. The main contribution of this work is to provide new interpretations of the XML terms in the context of OWL, so that the XML Schema Definition (XSD) structures can be mapped into more complex OWL structures. A software tool developed to test and validate the information extraction strategies proposed is presented here.ITESO, A.C.Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologí

JudaicaLink: A Knowledge Base for Jewish Culture and History

JudaicaLink is a novel resource which provides a knowledge base of Jewish culture and history. It is based on multilingual domain-specific information from encyclopedias and general-purpose knowledge bases such as The Integrated Authority File (GND) of the German National Library. JudaicaLink can be used for contextualization of metadata, i.e., entity resolution within and linking of metadata to improve resource access and to provide richer context to the user. Many resources for contextualization, particularly specialized resources for the given domain, are only available in unstructured form. General-purpose resources like DBpedia are hard to use due to their sheer size while only a very small subset of the data is actually relevant. Therefore, JudaicaLink aims at integrating relevant subsets of various data sources to function as a single hub for the contextualization process. JudaicaLink is freely available on the Web as Linked Open Data. In this paper, we explain how JudaicaLink is built, how it can be accessed by users, as well as its architecture, technical implementation, applications and relations to Jewish culture
