Abstract
In this paper we present an approach to document enrichment, which
consists of developing and integrating formal knowledge models with
archives of
documents, to provide intelligent knowledge retrieval and (possibly)
additional
knowledge-intensive services, beyond what is currently available using
'standard'
information retrieval and search facilities. Our approach is ontology-driven,
in the
sense that the construction of the knowledge model is carried out
in a top-down
fashion, by populating a given ontology, rather than in a bottom-up
fashion, by
annotating a particular document. In the paper we give an overview
of the approach
and we examine the various types of issues (e.g., modelling, organizational
and user
interface issues) which need to be tackled to effectively deploy our
approach in the
workplace. In addition we also discuss a number of technologies we
have developed
to support ontology-driven document enrichment and we illustrate our
ideas in the
domains of electronic news publishing, scholarly discourse and medical
guidelines.
