Аннотация
The Semantic Desktop brings the ideas and the technologies of the
Semantic Web into the personal computer desktop. As a prerequisite
for applying Semantic Web technologies to a certian domain of knowledge
an ontological model of the domain is required. In the Gnowsis Semantic
Desktop, the PIMO (Personal Information Model Ontology) addresses
this problem by providing a generic lightweight ontology whose classes
model the mian concepts involved in the daily activities of a person:
places, organizations, persons, etc. But in order to be fully useful
for a certain user, this generic model needs to be personalized
and populated, adding more classes and concrete instances of the
existent classes. As the process of manual population could be tedious
and time consuming, in this paper we propose an alternative which
tries to exploit the information that the user provides while performing
Web searches. Apart from populating the PIMO, our approach is useful
in resource annotation.
