Invited Talk: Can We Deal with Emergent Knowledge Yet?

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.
