Classical knowledge production is an author-centered process. The emergence of cooperative internet technologies such as wikis or blogs shows a shift towards stronger cooperative production and communication of knowledge, closing the gap between readers and authors. The incorporation of such…

The use of new technologies does not mean that the applied education model is modern. New technologies can be used in a way that follows the traditional education model, with all its deficiencies. The collaborative education model involves students in…

The accomplishment of systems with abilities to reason about actions and change and systems that can manage incomplete or not very reliable information with abilities to discuss or argument has been of great importance for artificial intelligence community. These two…

Co-training can learn from datasets having a small number of labelled examples and a large number of unlabelled ones. It is an iterative algorithm where examples labelled in previous iterations are used to improve the classification of examples from the…

Software architecture constitutes the primary design of a software system. Consequently, architectural design decisions involved in architecture design have a key impact on the system in such aspects as future maintenance costs, resulting quality, and timeliness. However, the applied knowledge…

In the last few years, several studies have emphasized the use of ontologies as an alternative to organization of the information.
The notion of ontology has become popular in fields such as intelligent information integration, information retrieval on the Internet,…

This work describes the ontology construction process for the development of an Intelligent System for the Organization and Retrieval of Knowledge in Biodiversity – SISBIO. The system aims at the production of strategic information for the biofuel chain Two main…

Information Retrieval Systems normally deal with keywordbased technologies. Although those systems reach satisfactory results, they aren’t able to answer more complex queries done by users, especially those directly in natural language. To do that, there are the KnowledgeBased Systems, which…

Este artículo presenta el diseño inicial del "Multilingual Central Repository". La primera versión del MCR integra, siguiendo en el marco de EuroWordNet, cinco wordnets locales (incluyendo tres versiones del WordNet de Princeton), la Top Ontology the EuroWordNet, los dominios de…
