What Goes Around Comes Around — Improving Linked Open Data through On-Demand Model Creation
Christopher Thomas, Wenbo Wang, Pankaj Mehra, Delroy Cameron, Pablo N. Mendes, Amit Sheth · Journal of Bioresource Management · 2010
We present a method for growing the amount of knowledge available on the Web using a hermeneutic method that in-volves background knowledge, Information Extraction tech-niques and validation through discourse and use of the ex-tracted information. We exemplify this using Linked Data as background knowledge, automatic Model/Ontology cre-ation for the IE part and a Semantic Browser for evaluation. The hermeneutic approach, however, is open to be used with other IE techniques and other evaluation methods. We will present results from the model creation and anecdotal evi-dence for the feasibility of ”Validation through Use”.
