Metacrap: Putting the torch to seven straw-men of the meta-utopia

Metacrap

This is an interesting essay which talks about practical difficulties in collecting reliable metadata from poeple and forming metadata standards. The author suggests that observational metadata is far more reliable than the stuff that human beings create.

Using Data-Extraction Ontologies to Foster Automating Semantic Annotation

Using Data-Extraction Ontologies to Foster Automating Semantic Annotation
Abstract
Semantic annotation adds formal metadata to web pages to link web data with ontology concepts. Automated semantic annotation is a primary way of enabling the semantic web. A main drawback of existing automated semantic annotation approaches is that they need a post-extraction mapping between extraction categories and ontology concepts. This mapping requirement usually needs human intervention, which decreases automation. Our approach uses data-extraction ontologies to avoid this problem. To automate semantic annotation, the new approach uses an ontology-based data recognizer that fosters automated semantic annotation, optimizes the system performance, provides support for ontology assembly, and is compatible with semantic web standards.
