Abstract

The present invention discloses a knowledge annotation result checking system and method. The knowledge annotation result checking system comprises: a receiving unit for receiving a knowledge annotation result; and a checking unit, for comparing the received knowledge annotation result with information within a tag registration database to obtain comparison information. According to the present invention, inconsistent tag information can be detected.

Claims

1. A knowledge annotation result checking system, comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive a knowledge annotation result; and

a checking unit, implemented by a processor, configured to compare the received knowledge annotation result information within a tag registration database to obtain comparison information,

wherein said knowledge annotation result at least comprises a tag and a knowledge annotation engine; and

said tag registration, database comprises tags and knowledge annotation engines using these tags, the knowledge annotation result checking system further comprising;

a registering unit configured to register tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines to said tag registration database,

an ontology repository, which stores domain knowledge,

wherein said registering unit maps a knowledge annotation engine to a corresponding class within the ontology repository according to the functional description or name of the knowledge annotation engine, extracts the corresponding class and all properties of the corresponding class within the ontology repository as a tag set of the knowledge annotation engine for registering tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines to said tag registration database.

3. The system of either claim 1 or 2, further comprising:

a correcting unit, configured to correct correspondences between tags and knowledge annotation engines within the tag registration database and/or the ontology repository based on feedback of a user on the comparison information.

2. A knowledge annotation result checking system, comprising:

a receiving unit configured to receive a knowledge annotation result; and

a checking unit, implemented by a processor, configured to compare the received knowledge annotation result with information within a tag registration database to obtain comparison information,

wherein said knowledge annotation result at leas comprises a tag and a knowledge annotation engine; and

said tag registration database comprises tags and knowledge annotation engines using these tags, the knowledge annotation result checking system further comprising;

a registering unit configured to register tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines to said tag registration database,

an ontology repository, which stores domain knowledge,

wherein said registering unit maps a knowledge annotation engine to a corresponding class within the ontology repository according to the functional description or name of the knowledge annotation engine, extracts the corresponding class and all properties of the corresponding class within the ontology repository as a candidate tag set of the knowledge annotation engine to be provided to a user, and registers tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines to said tag registration database based on the user'"'"'s selection of the tags in the candidate tag set.

4. A knowledge annotation result checking method, comprising:

receiving a knowledge annotation result; and

comparing, by a processor, the received knowledge annotation result with information within a tag registration database to obtain comparison information,

wherein said knowledge annotation result at least comprises a tag and a knowledge annotation engine; and

said tag registration database comprises tags and knowledge annotation engines using these tags, said knowledge annotation result checking method further comprises;

registering tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines to said tag registration database; and

wherein

a knowledge annotation engine is mapped to a corresponding class within the ontology repository according to the functional description or name of the knowledge annotation engine, and the corresponding class and all properties of the corresponding class within the ontology repository are extracted as a tag set of the knowledge annotation engine for registering tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines to said tag registration database.

6. The method of either claim 4 or 5, further comprising:

correcting correspondences between tags and knowledge annotation engines within the tag registration database and/or the ontology repository based on feedback of a user on the comparison information.

5. A knowledge annotation result checking method, comprising:

receiving a knowledge annotation result; and

comparing, by a processor, the received knowledge annotation result with information within a tag registration database to obtain comparison information,

wherein said knowledge annotation result at least comprises a tag and a knowledge annotation engine; and

said tag registration database comprises tags and knowledge annotation engines using these tags, said knowledge annotation result checking method further comprises;

registering tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines to said tag registration database; and

wherein

a knowledge annotation engine is mapped to a corresponding class within the ontology repository according to the functional description or name of the knowledge annotation engine, the corresponding class and all properties of the corresponding class within the ontology repository are extracted as a candidate tag set of the knowledge annotation engine to be provided to a user, and tags used by the respective knowledge annotation engines are registered to said tag registration database based on the user'"'"'s selection of the tags in the candidate tag set.
