A Rule-based Approach for Semantic Annotation Evolution in the CoSWEM System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Semantic Web and Beyond ((ADSW,volume 2))

Abstract

An approach for managing knowledge in an organisation in the new infrastructure of Semantic Web consists of building a Corporate Semantic Web (CSW). The main components of a CSW are (i) evolving resources distributed over an intranet and indexed using (ii) semantic annotations expressed with the vocabulary provided by (iii) shared ontology. However, changes in the operating environment may lead to some inconsistencies in the system and they result in need of modifications of the CSW components. These changes need to be evolved and well managed. In this paper we present a rule-based approach allowing to detect and correct semantic annotation inconsistencies. This rule-based approach is implemented in the CoSWEM system enabling to manage the evolution of such a CSW, especially to address the evolution of semantic annotations when its underlying ontologies change.
