A novel Textual Encoding paradigm based on Semantic Web tools and semantics
Proceedings of the Fifth International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2006)
Abstract
In this paper we perform a preliminary evaluation on how Semantic Web technologies such as RDF and OWL can be used to perform textual encoding. Among the potential advantages, we notice how RDF, given its conceptual graph structure, appears naturally suited to deal with overlapping hierarchies of annotations, something notoriously problematic using classic XML based markup. To conclude, we show how complex querying can be performed using slight modifications of already existing Semantic Web query tools.
