POAF: Portable Ontology Aligned Fragments (2009)

Yannis Kalfoglou, Paul Smart, Dave Braines, Nigel Shadbolt

Abstract In today’s semantic web, ontology fragmentation and modularization are considered as important tasks due to the size and complexity of prime ontologies. At the same time, the ontology...

A Controlled Natural Language Interface for Semantic Media Wiki Using the Rabbit Language (2009)

Bao, Jie, Smart, Paul, Braines, Dave, Shadbolt, Nigel

Despite their potential value as collaborative knowledge editing systems, semantic wikis present a number of usability challenges. One way to respond to these challenges is to develop controlled...
