Hi All, I would like to give you all a status update on my GSOC project on FOAF Co-reference based Entity Disambiguation.
Up to midterm I have covered 2 milestones and currently in the process of covering my 3rd milestone which is to give an initial design of the foaf-disambiguation workflow . Up to now I have covered below tasks. 1. Identified a suitable FOAF Dataset. 2. Created an Reference Site for FOAF data using filtering techniques in generic-rdf indexing tool. 3. Configured a EntityHub-Linking Engine using the foaf-site and used it in an enhancement-chain in Stanbol 4. Demoed sample results for entity-linking using the FOAF dataset. I have discussed my work in detail in previous mail-threads at dev@stanboland via IRC channel with other developers. I have summarized my work in a public git page (README.md) as a guide; uploaded the relevant configuration files and pre-built indexing tool and result files at github [1] so anybody can use it for testing. Please feel free to give your comments and suggestions for improvements. I will share my initial design of FOAF based disambiguation workflow ASAP. For this task I have read many papers on Entity Disambiguation and relevant FOAF smushing resources such as [2], [3].
