HypER ∩ SciDiscourse Relevant Tasks

HypER Tasks for Possible Uptake into HCLS - Scientific Discourse Task(for Discussion)

• HypER Task A: Quick integration/bridges between various tools/systems
• HypER Task B: Aligning Discourse Ontologies

Overall Objectives

• Converge Relevant Scientific Discourse Ontologies
  • SWAN, SIOC, SALT, KMI (Buckingham Shum)
• Converge Tagging Approaches
  • aTags, SWAN Annotation Ontology, DERI Annotation Ontology

Task Objectives

1. Invite HypER Participation
   • a) Current overlap: Tim, Matthias, Tudor, Annamaria

   b. Invite: Anita deWaard, Siggy Handschuh & Simon Buckingham Shum (others?)

1. Integrate aTags, DERI & SWAN Annotation ontologies
2. Integrate SWANSIOC + SALT
   • a) Present SALT (Siggy)

   b. Evaluate vs. SWANSIOC
   c. Develop Use Case
   d. Develop Integration Approach
   d. Integrate
   e. Document (IG Note?)

1. Integrate KMI Discourse Ontology
   • a) Present KMI Ontology (Simon Buckingham Shum)

   b. Evaluate vs. SWANSIOC & SALT
   c. Develop Use Case
   d. Develop Integration Approach
   d. Integrate
   e. Document (IG Note?)

Rationale

• Annotation Ontologies: Instant synergies and support for computational annotation tools
• aTags + Annotation Ontologies:

  (a) Highly practical aTags support personal annotation; (b) integrate with computational annotation model for unified view

• SWANSIOC + SALT:

  (a) Broader applicability, including to CS papers; (b) synergies (c) reduce duplicative efforts (d) speed adoption

• SWANSIOC + KMI:

  (a) Greater practical applicability of KMI ontology (b) make use of large body of theoretical work from KMI in SWANSIOC + SALT
