"Building Knowledge Intensive Applications by Reusing Online Ontologies"
While formally represented world knowledge plays an important role in
many AI and language technology applications, its acquisition on a
sufficiently large scale remains problematic. We aim to overcome this
knowledge acquisition bottleneck by reusing ontologies that are freely
available online as a result of research in the Semantic Web area.
Relying on this reuse-based paradigm, we have built several knowledge
intensive applications addressing tasks as varied as improving search
in folksonomies or open domain question answering. In this talk I will
describe these applications and I will share our conclusions about the
characteristics of online ontologies when used as a knowledge resource.
