Cooperative Building of Semantic Resources

In this paper we present LexFlow, a framework for the automatic and cooperative enrichment, integration and exploitation of semantic resources. Borrowing from techniques used in the domain of document workflows, we model the activity of lexicon management as a particular case of workflow instance, where lexical entries move across agents and become dynamically updated. We also give an important exploitation example of the semantic resources managed or built thanks to LexFlow, describing its integration with SemKey, a system for semantic collaborative tagging.
