Semi-semantic models for cross-sector portals

The project will address the following sub goals: 1) To develop open standards and tools that will lower the barriers of entry in the area of semantically enhanced portals and services and make it possible for small and medium sized companies and organiza tions to exploit semantic systems. 2) To develop methods, models and procedures for semi-automatic generation of ontologies from unstructured text indexes for use as background variables for semantic annotations. 3) To improve, particularly in the area of scalability, current methods for text mining and indexing. 4) To develop methods, models and procedures for integrating content management system based on RDF with content management systems based on Topic Maps and for semantic integration and coordin ation of large multi lingual content management systems. 5) To verify the functionality and scalability of these semi-automatically generated ontologies to integrate multiple large scale content management systems.
