Abstract

Named entity extractors can be used to enrich both text and Web documents with semantic annotations. While originally focused on a few standard entity types, the ecosystem of annotators is becoming increasingly diverse, with recognition capabilities ranging from generic to specialised entity types. Both the overlap and the diversity in annotator vocabularies motivate the need for managing and integrating semantic annotations: allowing users to see the results of multiple annotations and to merge them into a unified solution. We demonstrate ROSEANN, a system for the management of semantic annotations. ROSEANN provides users with a unified view over the opinion of multiple independent annotators both on text and Web documents. It allows users to understand and reconcile conflicts between annotations via ontology-aware aggregation. ROSEANN incorporates both supervised aggregation, appropriate when representative training data is available, and an unsupervised method based on the notion of weighted-repair.
