Work in knowledge representation undertaken as part of the Semantic Web initiative has enabled a common infrastructure (Resource Description Framework (RDF) and RDF Schema) for sharing knowledge of ontologies and instances. In this talk I present a framework for combining the shallow levels of semantic description commonly used in MUC-style information extraction (IE) with the deeper semantic structures available in such ontologies. The framework is implemented within the PIA project software called Open Ontology Forge (OOF). OOF offers a rich desktop based environment for editing ontologies and large-scale capture of text and image annotations. It will also soon support a modular architecture for plug-ins which will allow IE components to reduce the effort making annotations by human experts. We discuss the knowledge framework, some features of the system and summarize work within our group on component IE technologies such as named entity, coreference and event annotation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are also inviting top experts in AI and Knowledge Technologies to discuss major socio-technological topics with an audience that comprises both members of the Knowledge Media Institute, as well as the wider staff at The Open University. Differently from our seminar series, these events follow a Q&A format.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
