Klink-2: Automatic generation of large scale taxonomies of research areas

Klink-2 is an application which takes as input large amounts of scholarly metadata and automatically generates an OWL ontology containing all the research areas mined from the input data and their semantic relationships. It was developed to produced large scale ontology of research topics.   The traditional way to address the problem of identifying and […]

TechMiner

Techminer Architecture. TechMiner is a novel approach, which combines natural language processing, machine learning and semantic technologies, for mining technologies from research publications and generating an OWL ontology describing their relationships with other research entities. The resulting knowledge base can support tasks such as: richer semantic search, richer expert search, monitoring the emergence and impact […]

Smart Topic Miner

Smart Topic Miner (STM) is a web application which uses Semantic Web technologies to classify scholarly publications on the basis of Computer Science Ontology (CSO), a very large automatically generated ontology of research areas. STM was developed to support the Springer Nature Computer Science editorial team in classifying proceedings in the LNCS family. It analyses […]
