Ontology Development and Classification
Knowledge discovery in a Digital Library is often
stymied by the sheer number of documents in the repository. Publishers who
have developed ontologies that reflect the users' domain-specific view of
the information have significantly improved users' ability to find relevant
content. Such ontologies allow new users to quickly understand the content
landscape, and experienced users to quickly drill down to the content of
interest.
While the value of ontologies is widely recognized, the construction
of usable ontologies has typically been difficult, requiring extensive
work from domain experts, acceptance within the research community, and
expensive manual work to categorize articles.Parity provides a complete
solution for developing new hierarchical subject ontologies, integrating
and refining existing ontologies, and classifying content.
Benefits
- Provides a structured view of the content for faster discovery of
relevant documents and open ended topic exploration.
- Stops the guess work of finding the right keywords for relevant documents.
- Facilitates knowledge sharing by providing a map to the content.
Parity Advantage
- Automatic classifications based on expert knowledge saves expert
time while maximizing quality of the results compared to fully automated
processes.
- Flexible cross-platform ontology editor tool for ontology creation
with support for collaboration among multiple ontology editors.
- Input and output is XML, allowing integration with third-party applications
for the web, print publishing, and databases.
- Familiar and intuitive interface to get people going quickly.
Parity's Ontolology Development and Classification Solutions have been
deployed to enhance existing Publisher Digital Libraries, and are often
used in conjunction with Parity's Digital Library Platform.
