Bridging the Semantic and Lexical Webs: Concept-Validating and Hypothesis-Exploring Ontologies for the Nexus-PORTAL-DOORS System

摘要

The Nexus-PORTAL-DOORS System (NPDS) has beendesigned with the Hierarchically Distributed Mobile Metadata(HDMM) architectural style to provide an infrastructuresystem for managing both lexical and semantic metadataabout both virtual and physical entities. We describehere how compatibility between version 0.9 of the NPDSschema, the new NPDS-interfacing ontologies, and thedomain-specific concept-validating hypothesis-exploringontologies allows NPDS to bootstrap the semantic webonto the more developed lexical web. We then describehow this system will serve as the foundation of a plannedplatform for automated meta-analysis.
