A Collaborative Semantic Web Layer to Enhance Legacy Systems
Description
This talk introduces a framework to add a semantic web layer to
legacy organizational information, and describes its application to the use case
provided by the Italian National Research Council (CNR) intraweb. Building on
a traditional web-based view of information from different legacy databases, we
have performed a semantic porting of data into a knowledge base, dependent on
an OWL domain ontology. We have enriched the knowledge base by means of
text mining techniques, in order to discover on-topic relations. Several reasoning
techniques have been applied, in order to infer relevant implicit relationships.
Finally, the ontology and the knowledge base have been deployed on a semantic
wiki by means of theWikiFactory tool, which allows users to browse the ontology
and the knowledge base, to introduce new relations, to revise wrong assertions in
a collaborative way, and to perform semantic queries. In our experiments, we have
been able to easily implement several functionalities, such as expert finding, by
simply formulating ad-hoc queries from either an ontology editor or the semantic
wiki interface. The result is an intelligent and collaborative front end, which allow
users to add information, fill gaps, or revise existing information on a semantic
basis, while keeping the knowledge base automatically updated.
