What is Information Extraction?
Information Extraction
Text or web pages
Entities
Relationships
Co-references
Events
Linguistic Knowledge

Extraction and Semantic Annotation

• Consumer-side extraction - 3rd party text -gt
  database
• Advantages
• Applicable to raw documents (most of the web)
• Disadvantages
• Must deal with full complexity of natural
  language
• Semantic annotation proposed to overcome
  difficulty of consumer-side extraction - but
  annotation is labor intensive
• Producer-side extraction - authored text -gt
  annotation
• Advantages
• Partial-automation - reduces manual effort
• Human assisted disambiguation
• Domain customization for intranets and B2B
  e-commerce
• Disadvantages
• Requires manual effort to correct and add rich
  set of relationships
• Domain customization requires up-front effort
  from the author/webmaster
• Both types of extraction will coexist.

Client-Server AeroDAML

• Users
• personnel who routinely produce documents (e.g.,
  intelligence analysts)
• personnel who have a large collection of legacy
  documents

6
Web-based AeroDAML

• Users
• novice/infrequent DAML annotators
• people who want to do quick/simple annotation of
  a web page

AeroDAML Plans

• Integrate with annotation editor
• Improve Web-based AeroDAML
• Allow user to select other ontologies besides the
  current AeroDAML default ontology for annotation
  generation
• OpenCyc or Cyc Upper Ontology
• CIA World Fact Book
• IEEE Standard Upper Ontology
• Dublin Core
• UNSPSC...
• Try AeroDAML!
