Semantic Enrichment by Non-experts: Usability of Manual Annotation Tools
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most of the semantic content available has been generated automatically by using annotation services for existing content. Automatic annotation is not of sufficient quality to enable focused search and retrieval: either too many or too few terms are semantically annotated. User-defined semantic enrichment allows for a more targeted approach. We developed a tool for semantic annotation of digital documents and conducted an end-user study to evaluate its acceptance by and usability for non-expert users. This paper presents the results of this user study and discusses the lessons learned about both the semantic enrichment process and our methodology of exposing non-experts to semantic enrichment.

Visualisation of Semantic Enrichment
Automatically creating semantic enrichments for text may lead to annotations that allow for excellent recall but poor precision. Manual enrichment is potentially more targeted, leading to greater precision. We aim to support non-experts in manually enriching texts with semantic annotations. Neither the visualisation of semantic enrichment nor the process of manually enriching texts has been eva...
متن کاملUser-Defined Semantic Enrichment of Full-Text Documents: Experiences and Lessons Learned
Abstract. Semantic annotation of digital documents is typically done at metadata level. However, for fine-grained access semantic enrichment of text elements or passages is needed. Automatic annotation is not of sufficient quality to enable focused search and retrieval: either too many or too few terms are semantically annotated. User-defined semantic enrichment allows for a more targeted appro...
متن کاملConceptual Graphs and Annotated Semantic Web Pages
Semantic Web aims at turning Internet into a machine understandable resource, which requires the existence of ontologies, methods for ontology mapping and pages annotated with semantic markup. It is clear that the manual annotation of pages is not feasible and the fully automatic one is impossible so the current trend is creation of tools for semi-automatic page annotation. Platforms like KIM a...
متن کاملFurther use of Controlled Natural Language for Semantic Annotation of Wikis
Knowledge Acquisition through Semantic Annotation is vital to the evolution, growth and success of the Semantic Web. Both Semiautomatic and Manual Annotation are constricted by a knowledge acquisition bottleneck. Manual Semantic Annotation is a complex and arduous task both time-consuming and costly, often requiring specialist annotators. Therefore, automation of this process is essential to ea...
متن کاملOn Designing Controlled Natural Languages for Semantic Annotation
Manual semantic annotation is a complex and arduous task both time-consuming and costly often requiring specialist annotators. (Semi)-automatic annotation tools attempt to ease this process by detecting instances of classes within text and relationships between classes, however their usage often requires knowledge of Natural Language Processing(NLP) and/or formal ontological descriptions. This ...
