Abstract:
This overview paper briefly describes problems we need to tackle if we want to meaningfully and efficiently process emergent knowledge. By this term we essentially mean knowledge continually emerging in a bottom-up manner from heterogeneous and possibly noisy resources in the context of the (Semantic) Web. We sketch a suggested solution for proper treatment of such knowledge, consisting of a novel light-weight knowledge representation framework. We also introduce current applications of our research, illustrating its practical applicability and promise for the future.
