Semantic Annotation Task

A semantic annotation task is an annotation task that is a semantic analysis task to create semantic annotation item in order to make meaning machine processable.

• AKA: Semantic Tagging/Mark-up.
• Context:
  • Input: a Human Processable Artifact, such as a (typically) Text Item or a Multimedia Item.
    • optional: a Semantic Markup Language.
    • optional: a Knowledge Base (such as Wikipedia, Semantic Wiki, or an Ontology).
  • output: a machine processable Semantically Annotated Item.
  • It can be solve by a Semantic Annotation System (that implements a semantic annotation algorithm).
  • It can range from being a Manual Semantic Annotation Task to being an Automated Annotation Task (such as a semi-automated semantic annotation task).
  • It can range from being a Data-Driven Semantic Annotation Task to being a Heuristic Semantic Annotation Task.
  • It can be supported by: Concept Reference Identification, Concept Reference Recognition, and Concept Reference Resolution.
  • It can be supported by a Semantic Annotation System (that implements a Semantic Annotation algorithm).
    • It can be solved by a Semantic Tagging System (that implements a semantic annotation algorithm).
• Example(s):
  • a Text Semantic Annotation Task, such as a: Wikipedia-based Semantic Tagging Task.
  • a Recording Semantic Annotation Task.
  • an Image Semantic Annotation Task.
  • …
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Syntactic Annotation, such as Part-of-Speech tagging.
  • Semantic Parsing.
  • a Translation Task.
  • Language Generation.
• See: Semantic Web, Semantic Wiki.
