This is about the talk of German Nemirovskij (Fachhochschule Albstadt-Sigmaringen) about Semantic Document Annotation for Global Search on Study Programs (e.g. semester abroad). in the SWAPS project they are looking at the Bologna Module descriptions of the European Documents; they have a similar structure, so can be screen-scraped into a database. Applications: Module search Personalized Search, and Comparison. For CoPs the second is interesting, since (German claims), since CoPs can be used to tweak this.
They want to reach semantic search by doing “search wrt. Ontologies”.
Problems:
- how to populate Ontologies (is this a only ABox population). ch
- how to index Ontologies for search
ad 1: From the layout scrape attribute-value pairs, then semantic annotation of documents fragments (the values of attributes). It seems that this is ABox population, and is quite at the beginning.
