@article{citeulike:86466, abstract = {The article discusses ways to let semantics emerge from simple observations from the bottom-up, rather than imposing concepts on the observations top-down, to provide precise query, retrieval, communication or translation for a wide variety of applications. The following areas are examined: image retrieval and databases; media information spaces including the Semantic Web and MPEG frameworks; language games for emergent semantics; and emergent semantics for ontologies}, author = {Staab, S. and Santini, S. and Nack, F. and Steels, L. and Maedche, A.}, citeulike-article-id = {86466}, interhash = {4bdf6565939f3a3563deaff00c93615b}, intrahash = {c8b992c185d05583064243a071660c5d}, journal = {Intelligent Systems, IEEE [see also IEEE Expert]}, number = 1, pages = {78--86}, priority = {2}, title = {Emergent semantics}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=988491}, volume = 17, year = 2002 }
