A key problem in supporting multilingual information retrieval and digital content management is reasoning about overlapping context domains. Ontologies are currently emerging as representation techniques for overlapping complimentary context domains. To date, research has focused on the mappings of monolingual ontologies, however, the issue of mapping ontologies written in different natural languages is relatively unexplored at the moment. This paper discusses challenges in the area of multilingual ontology mapping and proposes the semantic oriented mapping for multilingual ontologies (SOMMO) framework to advance the state of the art in multilingual ontology mapping. The SOMMO framework aims to improve multilingual ontology mapping results generated from existing monolingual ontology matching techniques by evaluating the semantics embedded in both the source and target ontologies.

The challenge to provide tag recommendations for collaborative tagging systems has attracted quite some attention of researchers lately. However, most research focused on the evaluation and development of appropriate methods rather than tackling the practical challenges of how to integrate recommendation methods into real tagging systems, record and evaluate their performance. In this paper we describe the tag recommendation framework we developed for our social bookmark and publication sharing system BibSonomy. With the intention to develop, test, and evaluate recommendation algorithms and supporting cooperation with researchers, we designed the framework to be easily extensible, open for a variety of methods, and usable independent from BibSonomy. Furthermore, this paper presents a first evaluation of two exemplarily deployed recommendation methods. Copyright 2009 ACM.

The challenge to provide tag recommendations for collaborative tagging systems has attracted quite some attention of researchers lately. However, most research focused on evaluation and development of appropriate methods rather than tackling the practical challenges of how to integrate recommendation methods into real tagging systems, record and evaluate their performance. In this paper we describe the tag recommendation framework we developed for our social bookmark and publication sharing system Bib-Sonomy. With the intention to develop, test, and evaluate recommendation algorithms and supporting cooperation with researchers, we designed the framework to be easily extensible, open for a variety of methods, and usable independent from BibSonomy. Furthermore, this paper presents an evaluation of two exemplarily deployed recommendation methods, demonstrating the power of the framework.

Ubiquitous computing (ubicomp), as envisaged by Weiser [22], is heavily user-centric and largely concerned with applications specifically designed to meet end-user needs. Sensor populated ubicomp environments differentiate these applications from existing mobile and distributed systems through context awareness. For the system developer, the problems of heterogeneity and scalability are felt most keenly when designing this adaptive behaviour. A context-aware ubicomp system needs to operate reliably over the wide variety of situations that may be encountered. In this paper we present a technical architecture which has been implemented to support scalable, cost-effective, runtime experimentation using a framework of models to support informed decision making in an iterative design cycle.

A common approach to mitigate the effects of ontology heterogeneity is to discover and express the specific correspondences (mappings) between different ontologies. An open research question is: how should such ontology mappings be represented? In recent years several proposals for an ontology mapping representation have been published, but as yet no format is officially standardised or generally accepted in the community. In this paper we will present the results of a systematic analysis of ontology mapping representations to provide a pragmatic state of the art overview of their characteristics. In particular we are interested how current ontology mapping representations can support the management of ontology mappings (sharing, re-use, alteration) as well as how suitable they are for different mapping tasks.

To realize the vision of the semantic web it is essential to be able to exchange formal modeled knowledge between applications and humans without loss of meaning. In this paper, we focus on questions relating to meaning, interpretation and subject identity in modern semantic web languages. Based on the semiotic triangle we show that topics as well as RDF resources are symbols, representing concepts and not referents as the common term "subject" would indicate. A subject can not be represented as a single entity, but rather as a complex and evolving system of different concepts. Based on this insight we explain how the resulting plurality and uncertainness of the interpretation of symbols can be handled using semantic mappings. By defining transformation rules, the exchange and integration of knowledge from different semantic models becomes possible. Concluding we define recommendations and design guidelines for a semantic mapping management system, which is needed to support users and applications in creating, reusing, managing and applying such semantic mappings.

Ordinary users are finding it increasingly difficult to explore the large volumes of diverse data they encounter in their everyday lives. Techniques based on data mining algorithms are useful but they tend to be too complex for casual users to work with effectively. Furthermore, these techniques don't allow the user to engage with the information using semantics meaningful to them. Semantically enriched and personalized data exploration is seen as an essential step to support such users. Moreover, by allowing these users to leverage and personalize the subjective insights and knowledge of experts, more relevant and useful information can be discovered and interesting correlations drawn. In order to support these domain specific explorations, a prototype architecture named SARA (Semantic Attribute Reconciliation Architecture) has been built, and its underlying methodology, implementation and initial evaluation are described within this paper.

Social bookmarking systems and their emergent information structures, known as folksonomies, are increasingly important data sources for Semantic Web applications. A key question for harvesting semantics from these systems is how to extend and adapt traditional notions of similarity to folksonomies, and which measures are best suited for applications such as navigation support, semantic search, and ontology learning. Here we build an evaluation framework to compare various general folksonomy-based similarity measures derived from established information-theoretic, statistical, and practical measures. Our framework deals generally and symmetrically with users, tags, and resources. For evaluation purposes we focuson similarity among tags and resources, considering different ways to aggregate annotations across users. After comparing how tag similarity measures predict user-created tag relations, we provide an external grounding by user-validated semantic proxies based on WordNet and the Open Directory. We also investigate the issue of scalability. We find that mutual information with distributional micro-aggregation across users yields the highest accuracy, but is not scalable;per-user projection with collaborative aggregation provides the best scalable approach via incremental computations. The results are consistent across resource and tag similarity. Copyright is held by the International World Wide Web Conference Committee (IW3C2).
