ABSTRACT
Semantic Annotation is a basic technology for intelligent content and is beneficial in a wide range of content-oriented intelligent applications. In this paper we present our work in ontology-based semantic annotation, which is embedded in a scenario of a knowledge portal application. Starting with seemingly good and bad manual semantic annotation, we describe our experiences made within the KA2-initiative. The experiences gave us the starting point for developing an ergonomic and knowledge base-supported annotation tool. Furthermore, the annotation tool described are currently extended with mechanisms for semi-automatic information-extraction based annotation. Supporting the evolving nature of semantic content we additionally describe our idea of evolving ontologies supporting semantic annotation.

Semi-automatic semantic annotation of PubMed queries
Information processing algorithms require significant amounts of annotated data for training and testing. The availability of such data is often hindered by the complexity and high cost of production. In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a ...
Ontology-based automatic semantic annotation for named entity disambiguation
ISC '07: Proceedings of the 10th IASTED International Conference on Intelligent Systems and ControlThe vision of Semantic Web can be realized when there are masses of machine-processable semantic metadata. Manual construction of metadata is not feasible, methods for automated semantic annotation have been developed. Semantic annotation is the process ...
