| Abstract | This paper presents the general architecture of the TMEKO protocol (TutoringMethodology for Enriching the Kyoto Ontology) that guides non-expert usersthrough the process of creating mappings from domain wordnet synsets to ashared ontology by answering natural language questions. TMEKO will be part ofa Wiki-like community platform currently developed in the Kyoto project(http://www.kyoto-project.eu). The platform provides the architecture forontology based fact mining to enable knowledge sharing across languages andcultures. A central part of the platform is the Wikyoto editing environment inwhich users can create their own domain wordnet for seven different languagesand define relations to the central and shared ontology based on DOLCE. Asubstantial part of the mappings will involve important processes and qualitiesassociated with the concept. Therefore, the TMEKO protocol provides specificinterviews for creating complex mappings that go beyond subclass andequivalence relations. The Kyoto platform and the TMEKO protocol are developedand applied to the environment domain for seven different languages (English,Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Basque, Japanese and Chinese), but can easily beextended and adapted to other languages and domains. |
