The Worskhop on Ontology and Semantic Web Patterns (WOP2015, 6th edition) was held on October 11, 2015 in conjunction with the 14th International Semantic Web Conference in Bethlehem, PA, USA. At the workshop, the organizers conducted a discussion with the participants regarding the promises and obstacles of ontology design patterns (ODPs for short). This editorial reports on those discussions....

This paper introduces a novel method for semantic annotation of web pages. We perform semantic annotation with regard to unwritten and empirically proven agreement between users and web designers using web patterns. This method is based on extraction of patterns, which are characteristic for a particular domain. A pattern provides formalization of the agreement and allows assigning semantics to...

Research in computational semantics is increasingly guided by our understanding of human semantic processing. However, semantic models are typically studied in the context of natural language processing system performance. In this paper, we present a systematic evaluation and comparison of a range of widely-used, stateof-the-art semantic models in their ability to predict patterns of conceptual...

Patterns of object naming often differ between languages, but bilingual speakers develop convergent naming patterns in their two languages that are distinct from those of monolingual speakers of each language. This convergence appears to reflect dynamic interactions between lexical representations for the two languages. In this study, we present a self-organizing neural network model to simulat...

In this paper I argue that semantic similarity is not the only factor which motivates polysemy patterns cross-linguistically; I also show that these other factors (markedness, distinguishability, etc) may give rise to polysemies which are problematic for established semantic maps. Only when these other interfering factors, both functional and structural, are featured out, does a semantic networ...

Conclusion Performance on human judgement (MC, RG, WS) and semantic relation (BLESS and SN) datasets We present a novel semantic similarity measure based on lexico-syntactic patterns such as those proposed by Hearst (1992). The measure achieves a correlation with human judgements up to 0.739. Additionally, we evaluate it on the tasks of semantic relation ranking and extraction. Our results show...

The identification and classification of semantic information in medical narratives is critical for various research applications such as question-answering systems, statistical analysis, etc. Our contribution is a novel semantic tagger named SnoMedTagger to tag complex semantic information (paraphrases of concepts, abbreviations of concepts, complex multiword concepts) with 16 SNOMED CT semant...

This research paper deals with the study of structures derivatives, where in which I dealt a one Arabic language's derivatives is known by (The Hyperbolic Patterns), and this because my great passion dealing semantic morphological studies. In study, side that indicate hyperbolic patterns its comprehensive terminology ancient late morphologists have had formulated. The divided into two topics: F...

This paper presents a set of guidelines to help software engineers with the specification and design of large-scale semantic applications by defining new processes for Requirements Engineering and Design for semantic applications. To facilitate its use to software engineers not experts in semantic technologies, several techniques are provided, namely, a characterization of large-scale semantic ...
