  • Generating Ontologies with Basic Level Concepts from Folksonomies
    Procedia Computer ,,, Science Procedia Computer Computer Science Science 00 1 (2010) (2010) 1–9 573–581 www.elsevier.com/locate/procedia International Conference on Computational Science, ICCS 2010 Generating ontologies with basic level concepts from folksonomies Wen-hao Chena,1,YiCaib, Ho-fung Leunga, Qing Lib aDepartment of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China bDepartment of Computer Science, City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China Abstract This paper deals with the problem of ontology generation. Ontology plays an important role in knowledge repre- sentation, and it is an artifact describing a certain reality with specific vocabulary. Recently many researchers have realized that folksonomy is a potential knowledge source for generating ontologies. Although some results have already been reported on generating ontologies from folksonomies, most of them do not consider what a more ac- ceptable and applicable ontology for users should be, nor do they take human thinking into consideration. Cognitive psychologists find that most human knowledge is represented by basic level concepts which is a family of concepts frequently used by people in daily life. Taking cognitive psychology into consideration, we propose a method to gen- erate ontologies with basic level concepts from folksonomies. Using Open Directory Project (ODP) as the benchmark, we demonstrate that the ontology generated by our method is reasonable and consistent with human thinking. c 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Keywords: Folksonomy, Ontology, Basic Level Categories, Category Utility 1. Introduction The goal of generating ontologies is to automatically extract relevant concepts and their relations from a certain data set.

  • Revised Schedule
    VI. HOW TO SEARCH LIKE A PRO A. What is the Difference between a Search Engine and a Directory? As explained by Kimmons, A search engine is a web site that collects and organizes content from all over the internet. Those wishing to locate something would enter a query about what they'd like to find and the engine provides links to content that matches what they want. Google.com has become the most widely used search engine on the Internet. Other top engines include: • Yahoo.com • Dogpile.com • Ask.com • Bing.com To understand why listings rise to the top of search engine results, we need to know the motivations of all of the players. • The searcher: Someone is on the Web searching for information or a product or service. They want to enter some key words that represent to them the item for which they're searching and have relevant websites pop to the top of the search that are going to answer their question or meet their needs. • The search engine: The search engines are making money selling ad space to websites, businesses and marketers. The more search traffic they can generate, the more eyes on their ads, and the more money that is made. Their goal is to have the most relevant sites pop to the top of search results so that the searchers find what they want and return to do another search. • The website or marketer: They want these Web searchers to click to their site so that they can present their message and/or sell their products or services.
