Ontologies Are Us: A Unified Model of Social Networks and Semantics

. The Semantic Web – ISWC 2005, (2005)

Abstract

In our work we extend the traditional bipartite model of ontologies with the social dimension, leading to a tripartite model of actors, concepts and instances. We demonstrate the application of this representation by showing how community-based semantics emerges from this model through a process of graph transformation. We illustrate ontology emergence by two case studies, an analysis of a large scale folksonomy system and a novel method for the extraction of community-based ontologies from Web pages. ER -
