Wikyoto Knowledge Editor: The Collaborative Web Environment To Manage Kyoto Multilingual Knowledge Base

Kyoto is a knowledge-driven system for fact mining from a multilingual collection of information sources concerning a specific domain of interest. Facts are mined from relevant documents that are linguistically and semantically annotated exploiting a Multilingual Knowledge Base, made of several language-specific WordNets all referred to a common Central Ontology. In this paper we introduce a core component of KYOTO, the Wikyoto Knoweldge Editor: it is the collaborative Web environment where the multilingual and multicultural community of KYOTO users interacts to maintain and extend, in respect to their particular domain of interest, the background knowledge of KYOTO, constituting the Multilingual Knowledge Base. After an overview of the most relevant examples of collaborative environments to manage knowledge resources, we briefly introduce KYOTO architecture to provide the global context to describe the Wikyoto Knowledge Editor. Thus we focus our attention on the description of the Wikyoto Knowledge Editor, introducing its purpose inside KYOTO, its architecture and its Web-based user interface. By mean of an example, we explain how KYOTO Multilingual Knowledge Base can be browsed and enriched by the Wikyoto Knowledge Editor both thanks to the suggestions provided by the terminology automatically mined from documents in KYOTO and by accessing other external Web resources, like DBpedia. We consider the first working prototype of the Wikyoto Knowledge Editor, implementing a core set of relevant features. In conclusion, we expose our future works summarizing all the features that are planned to be supported in the upcoming versions of the Wikyoto Knolwedge Editor.
