Exposing, formalizing and reasoning over the latent semantics of tags in multimodal data sources

摘要: This paper describes our solution to the problem of inducing ontological information from metadata provided informally. The is in form linguistic tags attached items an on-line domain. We formulate four hypotheses about structure implicit a set and evaluate them using data public tag sets. results confirm three show that it feasible for --specifically subclass relationships --to be made explicit hence available inferencing.
