Collaborative Metadata Editor Integrated with Ontology Services and Faceted Portals
Jussi Kurki, Eero Hyvönen · 2010
This paper presents a generic RDF metadata editor SAHA 3 for collaborative content creation and instant semantic content publishing on the Semantic Web. SAHA 3 is a combination of a user-friendly interface and rich editing tools, that are able to utilize external ONKI ontology repositories as services. The system is integrated with a faceted portal engine HAKO, by which the metadata can be published instantly as a semantic faceted portal. Using the SAHA-ONKI-HAKO integrated system, a semantic portal can be created very easily by end-users by defining metadata schemas and related vocabularies, by annotating content, and by interactively configuring the user interfaces of the editor and the search engine. The system is in use in several semantic web applications and scales up to hundreds of thousands content objects.
