Multilingual ontologies creation
| Resumo: | Semantic Web multilingual information has been growing in last years. Consequently we assist to the need of creating multilingual ontologies from monolingual ones in order to allow for the semantic interoperability between applications in different natural languages. Cross lingual enrichment is however often based in human interaction, which is a cumbersome and error-prone task. This document presents a study of already existing multilingual ontology creation meth ods in order to gain knowledge on what techniques exist, pointing the advantages and disadvantages of each one. From the knowledge obtained with the bibliographic research, a new web-based method was proposed and implemented. The detailed description of this development process is the main content of the present Master’s dissertation. The Multilingual Ontology Creation Tool produces multilingual ontologies in two different ways. The first is based on translating certain elements of an input ontology and the other is done through a triangulation process between two existing multilingual ontologies. In the first approach, that involves translation, a LogFile is also generated offering to the user the possibility to download it for future examination. This LogFile contains detailed information concerning translation choices the system has made that can affect the quality of the translations. The tool introduced and discussed in this dissertation was tested throughout its the development. Lastly, a web application was developed to host the tool in order to facilitate its access and use for the users. |
