Incentives for Semantics

seekda is participating in this international project, which is a step towards enabling the massive creation and feasible management of semantic content.

Abstract:

Creating a critical mass of semantic content is a fundamental challenge that has received considerable attention in the past decade. The result is a maturing inventory of techniques and tools which primarily aim at the automation of the semantic content creation task as a means to lower costs and improve productivity. Whilst the quality of such automated approaches has consistently improved, it is still far from outweighing the required invested manual effort. The aim of INSEMTIVES is to bridge the gap between human and computational intelligence in the current semantic content authoring R&D landscape. In the scope of the project methodologies for the creation of semantic metadata for different types of Web resources, jointly exploiting human intelligence, community effects and machine processing will be developed.
