Allowing software developers to develop culture-sensitive applications by providing them the omcs-br cultural knowledgebase
Pages 379 - 384
Abstract
In this paper we describe a strategy that aims to allow software developers to use the Open Mind Common Sense in Brazil (OMCS-Br) project's knowledgebase and collect the end users' commonsense knowledge from applications to feedback such OMCS-Br knowledgebase. Two new modules are being developed and integrated into the API: (i) a filter, that receives the contextualized search query from the application and gives back the resulting cultural knowledge and (ii) a collector, for feeding the knowledgebase with the data generated by the application users. Besides, we will also make possible to all users (including non-developers) to do simple searches on the project's knowledgebase by providing them a tool to use a web service.
