Multinational corporations often face the challenge of finding subject-matter experts many continents away. Conventional metadata in a corporate directory provide a starting point, but the Topic Maps model provides a means of enhancing these directories by giving them the ability to merge in metadata from diverse sources, such as other external corporate directories, with PSIS [Published Subjec...

We use a recently found parametrization of the solutions of the inverse Frobenius-Perron problem within the class of complete unimodal maps to develop a Monte-Carlo approach for the construction of one-dimensional chaotic dynamical laws with given statistical properties, i.e. invariant density and autocorrelation function. A variety of different examples are presented to demonstrate the power o...

Morris Hirsch Brown University Scholarly Technology Group ABSTRACT Recent markup-related standardised technologies--XLink, XPointer, DOM Level 2, and XSL/XSLT--allow us to locate, retrieve, and transform an arbitrary section of content from an XML-encoded text and present this content to the user as a new, well-formed XML document. This ability will be especially useful for exploiting the full ...

We describe a method of text summarization that produces indicative-informative abstracts / for technical papers. The abstracts are generated by a process of conceptual identification, topic extraction and re-generation. We have carried out an evaluation to assess indicative-ness and text acceptability relying on human judgment. The results so far indicate good performance in both tasks when co...

level, you may want to skip most of it until a a second, in-depth reading. (Everyone is invited to re-read it). "KO as a Use Case for TMs" reads much easier, since here the relationship between TMs and KO is worked out in more practical terms.

The objective of this research is to represent the managerial logic of Mr. Yung-Ching Wang, the Chairman of Formosa Plastics Group (also known as the “God of Business” in Taiwan) through the construction of knowledge maps using a text-mining approach, including automatic key phrase extraction, term identification, document vector modeling, and a clustering method named growing hierarchical self...

Many of today's organizations already have a strong integration of groupware systems in their ITinfrastructure. The shared databases of these groupware systems form organizational memories, which comprise the complete knowledge of an organization collected over the time of its existence. One key problem is how to find relevant knowledge or information in continuously growing and distributed org...

This paper presents a computational framework for information extraction and aggregation which aims to integrate and organize the data/information resources that spread throughout the Internet in the manner that makes them useful for tracking events such as natural disaster, and disease dispersion. We introduce a simple statistical information extraction technique for summarizing the document i...

If Topic Maps should be exchanged in distributed environments a common semantic problem occurs: Do two Topics refer to the same Subject? If they describe the same Subject the given Topics have to be treated as one unit in the given context. Especially in integration scenarios this might be important. Within the Topic Map theory the merging paradigm and the description of Subjects of discourse i...

Die ‘Document Suite’ ist eine Sammlung von Werkzeugen für die verschiedenen Aufgaben beim Erschließen der Inhalte von elektronisch verfügbaren Dokumenten aus dem WWW oder aus anderen Dokumentbeständen. Bei ihrer Konzeption und Realisierung wurde konsequent darauf gesetzt, die Vorteile von XML und die der zugehörigen Formalismen und Werkzeuge auszunutzen: alle Module der ‘Document Suite’ erwarte...
