Interactive Rafinement of Linked Data: Toward a Crowdsourching Approach

Title: Interactive Rafinement of Linked Data : Toward a Crowdsourching Approach
Author: Boonsita Roengsamut, Kazuhiro Kuwabara
Abstract: This paper proposes an approach in which a system extracts information interactively from a user to refine linked data. A multilingual frequently-asked-questions (FAQs) database in the domain of rental apartments is used as a test-bed. This database includes a domain ontology represented using linked data. It contains the relationships between part of the floor plan of a rental apartment and FAQ entries, which are derived using the domain ontology. When a user finds an error in the relationship, an interactive process is initiated so that even a casual user who is not a domain expert can contribute to fixing the error. The proposed method also makes use of pictures so that the language barrier can be lowered. Since the proposed approach is targeted barrier can be lowered. Since the proposed approach is targeted to a casual user, it can be used in crowdsourching the refinement of linked data.
