FSI: uma infraestrutura de apoio ao projeto FrameNet utilizando web semântica

Abstract

The FrameNet project is developed by the International Computer Sciences Institute (ICSI) in Berkeley, with the goal of documenting frames of the English language based on the concept of semantic frames of Computational Inteligence. The FrameNet has been well translated for other languages, such as the FrameNet-BR Project, developed at the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora (UFJF), which focus on the documentation of lin guistic frames in Portuguese from Brazil. The lexical resource built by FrameNet can be used in many applications of natural language processing, such translations, summariza tion, among others. The use of semantic web technologies, such ontologies and linked data can bring many benefits that contribute to the sharing of information, specially con sidering the possibility of the use of inference mechanisms to validate data and retrieve new information. The use of semantic annotations for Web services is also considered a promising technology to facilitate the integration of computational resource on the web, serving as mechanism to facilitate interaction between software tools. These annotations allow tools understand the structure of services and how to execute them automatically. Thus, considering the advantages presented by these technologies, it is possible to asso ciate them in order to create an infrastructure that enables the use of lexical resources in conjunction with semantic web resources to facilitate understanding and search for information in a given domain. In this work was specified a service-based infrastructure that seeks to combine the technologies of semantic web to the database of the FrameNet project, considering the hypothesis that the application of technologies such as ontologies, linked data, and annotations in Web services can contribute to the construction and reuse of lexical resources based on semantic frames, and these contributions are both related to the reliability of data, and for the enrichment of the his information kept by lexical base.
