This paper introduces a transformation engine which can be used in order to convert an existing institutional repository installation into a Linked Open Data repository. We describe how the data that exists in a DSpace repository can be semantically annotated in order to serve as a Semantic Web (meta)data repository. We present a non-intrusive, standardscompliant approach that can run alongside...

We employ a hidden Markov model (HMM) to model each scene and an n-gram language model to represent the sc...
