SESAME: European Statistics Explored via Semantic Alignment onto Wikipedia
نویسندگان
چکیده
Authorities such as the European Commission have recognized the need to offer a unified access to the data gathered by a wide variety of providers, such as the European Statistical Organization (Eurostat) or the European Environment Agency. Its EU Open Data Portal serves as a gateway to numerical data, statistical reports, and visualization tools. While making the data available to the users from all member states and concentrating efforts on bridging the language gap, the portal still focuses on a primarily statistical perspective. That is, numerical data are explained with general terms, only. However, the related events, people, or organizations “causing” or being “affected” by the statistical observation remain concealed to the user. In order to make statistical data better understandable, we present the SESAME system (Statistics Explored via Semantic AlignMEnt). It relies on a novel method for identifying background information and relating it with event descriptions in Wikipedia. Using SESAME, users can jointly browse numerical statistics, their explanation in general terms and now also directly relate it to associated Wikipedia articles.

Iterative Entity Alignment via Knowledge Embeddings
Entity alignment aims to link entities and their counterparts among multiple knowledge graphs (KGs). Most existing methods typically rely on external information of entities such as Wikipedia links and require costly manual feature construction to complete alignment. In this paper, we present a novel approach for entity alignment via joint knowledge embeddings. Our method jointly encodes both e...

متن کاملA MultiWiki: Interlingual Text Passage Alignment in Wikipedia
In this article we address the problem of text passage alignment across interlingual article pairs in Wikipedia. We develop methods that enable the identification and interlinking of text passages written in different languages and containing overlapping information. Interlingual text passage alignment can enable Wikipedia editors and readers to better understand language-specific context of en...
متن کاملVoldemortKG: Mapping schema.org and Web Entities to Linked Open Data
Increasingly, webpages mix entities coming from various sources and represented in different ways. It can thus happen that the same entity is both described by using schema.org annotations and by creating a text anchor pointing to its Wikipedia page. Often, those representations provide complementary information which is not exploited since those entities are disjoint. We explored the extent to...
متن کاملOntology Population and Alignment for the Legal Domain: YAGO, Wikipedia and LKIF
We present a methodology and framework to align ontologies through annotation of texts, and we show how this methodology applies successfully to the legal domain. This method reduces the difficulty of aligning ontologies, because annotators are asked to associate two labels from different inventories to a concrete example, which requires a simple judgment. In a second phase, those correspondenc...
