ABSTRACT
In this paper, we describe how we believe semantic annotations can help in the provision of support for digital investigation activities for analysts searching for information in large document collections. In particular, we are interested in developing tools to support the activities of lawyers in corporate litigation. In current applications, information such as key characters and events and relations among them has to be mostly manually identified and collected from the collection of documents. We describe here our current and future work on the construction of a system that provides tools and mechanisms for helping users better extract, navigate, select and store such information. We also discuss interesting challenges that we have identified during this work.

Extracting events from wikipedia as RDF triples linked to widespread semantic web datasets
OCSC'11: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Online communities and social computingMany attempts have been made to extract structured data from Web resources, exposing them as RDF triples and interlinking them with other RDF datasets: in this way it is possible to create clouds of highly integrated Semantic Web data collections. In ...

However, this information is currently being accumulated only by specific ...
