Large ontologies and taxonomies are automatically harvested from web-scale data. These taxonomies tend to be huge, noisy, and contains little context. As a result, cleansing and enriching those largescale taxonomies becomes a great challenge. A natural way to enrich a taxonomy is to map the taxonomy to existing datasets that contain rich information. In this paper, we study the problem of match...

The aim of this paper is to suggest a quick and easy method for the collection of knowledge about human error in the maritime work domain using accident reports as empirical material. The method has three steps: 1. Text analysis 2. Accident analysis 3. Human error analysis Step 2 and 3 are based on very well known methods, techniques and taxonomies already included in the ongoing discussion abo...

Taxonomies are a powerful modelling tool when building interfaces for disclosing large information repositories. However, their actual use is far from trivial; tasks such as creation, instantiation and maintenance of taxonomies are often difficult and time-consuming. We present a number of ways in which the Cluster Map, a component for the visualization of instantiated taxonomies, can help in t...

Because botanical taxonomies are prototypical classifications it would seem that it should be easy to formalize them as concept lattices or type hierarchies. On closer inspection, however, one discovers that such a formalization is quite challenging to obtain. First, botanical taxonomies consist of several interrelated hierarchies, such as a specimen-based plant typology, a name hierarchy and a...

With the increased use of ontologies in semantically-enabled applications, the issues of debugging and aligning ontologies have become increasingly important. The quality of the results of such applications is directly dependent on the quality of the ontologies and mappings between the ontologies they employ. A key step towards achieving high quality ontologies and mappings is discovering and r...

Taxonomies, such as Library of Congress Subject Headings and Open Directory Project, are widely used to support browsing-style information access in document collections. We call them browsing taxonomies. Most existing browsing taxonomies are manually constructed thus they could not easily adapt to arbitrary document collections. In this paper, we investigate both automatic and interactive tech...

Ontologies and concept taxonomies help software systems organize data more effectively for particular application domains. Ontologies also enable sharing and integration of data from different domains and data sources. However, ontologies from different domains are rarely identical; thus, there is need for techniques to find alignments between concepts in different ontologies and taxonomies. In...

Efforts have been given to gain knowledge from a meager collection of empirical studies on various taxonomies of innovation and their effects on open innovation strategies for the development of entrepreneurship, despite abundance of studies and researches that are available on the broader aspect of open innovation categorization. Based on a longitudinal literature review with three time series...

Question and answer pairs in Community Question Answering (CQA) services are organized into hierarchical structures or taxonomies to facilitate users to find the answers for their questions conveniently. We observe that different CQA services have their own knowledge focus and used different taxonomies to organize their question and answer pairs in their archives. As there are no simple semanti...

This paper discusses ontology mapping between two taxonomies of functions of artifacts for the engineering knowledge management. The mapping is of two ways and has been manually established with deep semantic analysis based on a reference ontology of function for bridging the ontological gaps between the taxonomies. We report on the successful results thanks to such deep analysis not at the lex...
