项目摘要

Fundamental Semantic Web technologies proposed to date focus on computation-centered technologies which lack consideration for human users who create and use contents.In order for the Semantic Web to succeed, we need human-centered technology that bridges the gap between Web usage in the human society and computation-centered approach taken by the Semantic Web.With this in mind, we established three bases and conducted the following researches.At Kyoto University, ontology extraction from human-created contents was investigated. This was done with the assumption that precise ontology construction is difficult. Ontology extraction from existing data and information on the Web was addressed with a focus on automatic extraction of keywords that feature categories, and semi-automatic ontology extraction from tables. Furthermore, organizing existing ontologies to assist humans in new ontology design was studied.At Osaka University, a computing environment which comprehensively supports distributed ontology construction was developed. This was done with the consideration that ontology construction for the human-centered Semantic Web requires merging and mapping of small-scale distributed ontologies.At Tokyo University, research on manifestation and development of collaboration/negotiation ontologies for collaborative work between members of different cultures was conducted.Activities to promote Semantic Web research were also carried out in parallel with the above researches.Activities by the Special Interest Group on Semantic Web and Ontology (SIG-SWO) under the Japanese Society of Artificial Intelligence were continuously promoted and advanced. The authors also played central roles in organizing the 2004 International Semantic Web Conference in Japan.Moreover, Toru Ishida served as the founding joint-editor in chief for the Journal of Web Semantics which launched in 2003 under Elsevier.

迄今为止提出的基本语义网技术侧重于以计算为中心的技术，缺乏对创建和使用内容的人类用户的考虑。为了使语义网取得成功，我们需要以人为中心的技术来弥合人类网络使用之间的差距。语义网采取的以社会和计算为中心的方法。考虑到这一点，我们建立了三个基地并进行了以下研究。在京都大学，研究了从人类创造的内容中提取本体。这是在假设精确的本体构建很困难的情况下完成的。解决了从网络上现有数据和信息中提取本体的问题，重点是自动提取具有类别特征的关键字，以及从表格中半自动本体提取。此外，还研究了组织现有本体以帮助人类设计新的本体。大阪大学开发了全面支持分布式本体构建的计算环境。这样做是考虑到以人为中心的语义网的本体构建需要小规模分布式本体的合并和映射。在东京大学，针对不同文化成员之间协作工作的协作/协商本体的表现和开发进行了研究。与上述研究同时进行的还有促进语义网研究的活动。日本人工智能学会下属的语义网和本体特别兴趣小组（SIG-SWO）的活动不断推进、不断进步。作者还在组织 2004 年日本国际语义 Web 会议方面发挥了核心作用。此外，Toru Ishida 还担任 Elsevier 于 2003 年推出的 Journal of Web Semantics 的创始联合主编。
