Dear all, The AKSW [1] group is pleased to announce the first release of BOA - a framework for BOostrapping the datA web. The idea behind BOA is to use the Data Web as background knowledge for the extraction of natural language patterns that represent predicates found on the Data Web. These patterns are used to extract instance knowledge from natural language text. This knowledge is finally fed back into the Data Web, therewith closing the loop. You can find a first GUI prototype for BOA at [1] and additional information at the project's homepage [2].
Cheers, Daniel [1] http://139.18.2.164:8080/boa [2] http://aksw.org/Projects/BOA
