Collecting and Analyzing KnowledgeCollecting and Analyzing Knowledge
• Hundreds of thousands of semantic documents.
• Millions of RDF entities, most of them being instances.
• New sources of knowledge are frequently integrated (DBPedia, geoname, etc.)

Web services and APIWeb services and API
• Allows applications developers to access Watson features, and so the collected knowledge, in a lightweight way.
• But what applications (can) do with it?

While building an ontology with the Neon toolkit
Find descriptions of existing entities in Web ontologies
Integrate these descriptions into the edited ontology
Thus allowing knowledge reuse at the scale of the Semantic Web
In one simple, integrated, and interactive tool

To be continuedTo be continued
Both the Watson plugin and Watson in general are ongoing work
Current work in many areas related to NeOn activities– Detecting and managing relations between ontologies
(equivalences, versions, compatibility, etc.)– Combining automatic evaluation, user evaluation and
trust for (customized) ontology ranking– Exchange with the Oyster peer network (the NeOn
registry) and the alignment server– From reusing knowledge to creating networks of
ontologies
