We have systematized the effects associated with climate change on urban spaces in Chile reported between 2000 and 2012. The method was based on a review of scientific articles in three databases (Scopus, Web of Knowledge and Scielo) using 32…

The paper describes an application of indexing-the technology currently widely used for processing and comparing textual information-to multi-dimensional entities of knowledge domains. We propose a model for building a frame-based ontology, which contains a domain conceptual model as well as…

Automatic keyword extraction is an important subfield of information extraction process. It is a difficult task, where numerous different techniques and resources have been proposed. In this paper, we propose a generic approach to extract keyword from documents using encyclopedic…

We have obtained photometry in B and R for seven confirmed or probable polar-ring galaxies from the Polar-Ring Catalog of Whitmore et al. (1990). The rings show a range of colors from B -R ≈ 0.6 to B - R…

Campo de Gibraltar is a highly industrialized area situated in the South of Spain around Algeciras bay (36° 7'N, 5°27'W). This area has an advantageous situation from a geographical, geological and botanical points of view. However, high wind speeds and…

Here, we address the task of assigning relevant terms to thematically and semantically related sub-corpora and achieve superior results compared to the baseline performance. Our results suggest that more reliable sets of keyphrases can be assigned to the semantically and…
