@incollection{tagging-cattuto, abstract = {{Collaborative tagging systems have nowadays become important data sources for populating semantic web applications. For tasks like synonym detection and discovery of concept hierarchies, many researchers introduced measures of tag similarity. Even though most of these measures appear very natural, their design often seems to be rather ad hoc, and the underlying assumptions on the notion of similarity are not made explicit. A more systematic characterization and validation of tag similarity in terms of formal representations of knowledge is still lacking. Here we address this issue and analyze several measures of tag similarity: Each measure is computed on data from the social bookmarking system del.icio.us and a semantic grounding is provided by mapping pairs of similar tags in the folksonomy to pairs of synsets in Wordnet, where we use validated measures of semantic distance to characterize the semantic relation between the mapped tags. This exposes important features of the investigated similarity measures and indicates which ones are better suited in the context of a given semantic application.}}, author = {Cattuto, Ciro and Benz, Dominik and Hotho, Andreas and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {The Semantic Web - ISWC 2008}, citeulike-article-id = {4718854}, citeulike-linkout-0 = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-88564-1\_39}, citeulike-linkout-1 = {http://www.springerlink.com/content/9044260283881v78}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-540-88564-1\_39}, editor = {Sheth, Amit and Staab, Steffen and Dean, Mike and Paolucci, Massimo and Maynard, Diana and Finin, Timothy and Thirunarayan, Krishnaprasad}, interhash = {b44538648cfd476d6c94e30bc6626c86}, intrahash = {022ccb7184fcd0e43092fca13fd56a00}, journal = {The Semantic Web - ISWC 2008}, pages = {615--631}, posted-at = {2011-09-09 20:06:23}, priority = {2}, publisher = {Springer Berlin / Heidelberg}, series = {Lecture Notes in Computer Science}, title = {{Semantic Grounding of Tag Relatedness in Social Bookmarking Systems}}, url = {http://tagora-project.eu/wp-content/2009/09/cattuto_iswc2008.pdf}, volume = 5318, year = 2008 } @inproceedings{bozsak2002towards, author = {Bozsak, E. and Ehrig, Marc and Handschuh, Siegfried and Hotho, Andreas and Maedche, Alexander and Motik, Boris and Oberle, Daniel and Schmitz, Christoph and Staab, Steffen and Stojanovic, Ljiljana and Stojanovic, Nenad and Studer, Rudi and Stumme, Gerd and Sure, York and Tane, Julien and Volz, Raphael and Zacharias, Valentin}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Third International Conference on E-Commerce and Web Technologies (EC-Web 2002), Aix-en-Provence, France}, editor = {Bauknecht, Kurt and Tjoa, A.

While several methods have been proposed, little is known about the factors that influence the evolution of semantic structures in these systems. A natural hypothesis is that the quality of the emergent semantics depends on the pragmatics of tagging: Users with certain usage patterns might contribute more to the resulting semantics than others. In this work, we propose several measures which enable a pragmatic differentiation of taggers by their degree of contribution to emerging semantic structures. We distinguish between categorizers, who typically use a small set of tags as a replacement for hierarchical classification schemes, and describers, who are annotating resources with a wealth of freely associated, descriptive keywords. To study our hypothesis, we apply semantic similarity measures to 64 different partitions of a real-world and large-scale folksonomy containing different ratios of categorizers and describers. Our results not only show that ‘verbose’ taggers are most useful for the emergence of tag semantics, but also that a subset containing only 40% of the most ‘verbose’ taggers can produce results that match and even outperform the semantic precision obtained from the whole dataset. Moreover, the results suggest that there exists a causal link between the pragmatics of tagging and resulting emergent semantics. This work is relevant for designers and analysts of tagging systems interested (i) in fostering the semantic development of their platforms, (ii) in identifying users introducing “semantic noise”, and (iii) in learning ontologies.}, address = {Raleigh, NC, USA}, author = {Körner, Christian and Benz, Dominik and Strohmaier, Markus and Hotho, Andreas and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 19th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW 2010)}, interhash = {5afe6e4ce8357d8ac9698060fb438468}, intrahash = {45f8d8f2a8251a5e988c596a5ebb3f2d}, month = apr, publisher = {ACM}, title = {Stop Thinking, start Tagging - Tag Semantics emerge from Collaborative Verbosity}, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/benz/papers/2010/koerner2010thinking.pdf}, year = 2010 } @inproceedings{eisterlehner2010visit, address = {Toronto, Canada}, author = {Mitzlaff, Folke and Benz, Dominik and Stumme, Gerd and Hotho, Andreas}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 21st ACM conference on Hypertext and hypermedia}, interhash = {5584c4c57fcd8eb4663df8b114bcf09c}, intrahash = {a97c4f7e80dcb666450acf697002155e}, title = {Visit me, click me, be my friend: An analysis of evidence networks of user relationships in Bibsonomy}, year = 2010 } @article{berendt2010bridging, author = {Berendt, Bettina and Hotho, Andreas and Stumme, Gerd}, doi = {DOI: 10.1016/j.websem.2010.04.008}, interhash = {4969eb2b7bf1fabe60c5f23ab6383d77}, intrahash = {f8d7bc2af5753906dc3897196daac18c}, issn = {1570-8268}, journal = {Web Semantics: Science, Services and Agents on the World Wide Web}, note = {Bridging the Gap--Data Mining and Social Network Analysis for Integrating Semantic Web and Web 2.0; The Future of Knowledge Dissemination: The Elsevier Grand Challenge for the Life Sciences}, number = {2-3}, pages = {95 - 96}, title = {Bridging the Gap--Data Mining and Social Network Analysis for Integrating Semantic Web and Web 2.0}, url = {http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B758F-4YXK4HW-1/2/4cb514565477c54160b5e6eb716c32d7}, volume = 8, year = 2010 } @article{hotho2010publikationsmanagement, abstract = {Kooperative Verschlagwortungs- bzw.

Last but not least, these techniques can be used for mining the Semantic Web itself. The Semantic Web is the second-generation WWW, enriched by machine-processable information which supports the user in his tasks. Given the enormous size even of today’s Web, it is impossible to manually enrich all of these resources. Therefore, automated schemes for learning the relevant information are increasingly being used. Web Mining aims at discovering insights about the meaning of Web resources and their usage. Given the primarily syntactical nature of the data being mined, the discovery of meaning is impossible based on these data only. Therefore, formalizations of the semantics of Web sites and navigation behavior are becoming more and more common. Furthermore, mining the Semantic Web itself is another upcoming application. We argue that the two areas Web Mining and Semantic Web need each other to fulfill their goals, but that the full potential of this convergence is not yet realized.

However, beside consistency checking, current ontology engineering tools provide only basic functionalities for analyzing ontologies. Since ontologies can be considered as (labeled, directed) graphs, graph analysis techniques are a suitable answer for this need. Graph analysis has been performed by sociologists for over 60 years, and resulted in the vivid research area of Social Network Analysis (SNA). While social network structures in general currently receive high attention in the Semantic Web community, there are only very few SNA applications up to now, and virtually none for analyzing the structure of ontologies. We illustrate in this paper the benefits of applying SNA to ontologies and the Semantic Web, and discuss which research topics arise on the edge between the two areas. In particular, we discuss how different notions of centrality describe the core content and structure of an ontology. From the rather simple notion of degree centrality over betweenness centrality to the more complex eigenvector centrality based on Hermitian matrices, we illustrate the insights these measures provide on two ontologies, which are different in purpose, scope, and size.}, address = {Heidelberg}, author = {Hoser, Bettina and Hotho, Andreas and Jäschke, Robert and Schmitz, Christoph and Stumme, Gerd}, booktitle = {The Semantic Web: Research and Applications}, editor = {Sure, York and Domingue, John}, interhash = {344ec3b4ee8af1a2c6b86efc14917fa9}, intrahash = {c0cdbeab23ce0fc1bff5e02c99aab012}, month = {June}, pages = {514-529}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {LNAI}, title = {Semantic Network Analysis of Ontologies}, url = {http://www.kde.cs.uni-kassel.de/stumme/papers/2006/hoser2006semantic.pdf}, volume = 4011, year = 2006 } @inproceedings{tane04semantic, author = {Tane, Julien and Schmitz, Christoph and Stumme, Gerd}, bibsource = {DBLP, http://dblp.uni-trier.de}, booktitle = {Proc. 13th International World Wide Web Conference (WWW 2004)}, ee = {http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1013369}, interhash = {92089bd1e3e798b50fe7c82cd8333e7b}, intrahash = {10efb9940c6f2881cd6c84b6c52bebd8}, pages = {1-10}, title = {Semantic resource management for the web: an e-learning application}, url = {http://www.www2004.org/proceedings/docs/2p1.pdf}, year = 2004 } @proceedings{berendt2004web, address = {Heidelberg}, editor = {Berendt, Bettina and Hotho, Andreas and Mladenic, Dunja and van Someren, Maarten and Spiliopoulou, Myra and Stumme, Gerd}, interhash = {d7c78aa71fa7487dacfd9172467f1912}, intrahash = {be8b91e0c05dde74a4af7123b949c6ac}, isbn = {3-540-23258-3}, note = {http://km.aifb.uni-karlsruhe.de/ws/ewmf03/}, publisher = {Springer}, series = {LNAI}, title = {Web Mining: From Web to Semantic Web, First European Web Mining Forum, EMWF 2003, Cavtat-Dubrovnik, Croatia, September 22, 2003, Revised Selected and Invited Papers}, url = {http://springerlink.metapress.com/content/unvvag26dttf/}, volume = 3209, year = 2004 } @inproceedings{berendt2004roadmap, abstract = {The purpose of Web mining is to develop methods and systems for discovering models of objects and processes on the World Wide Web and for web-based systems that show adaptive performance.
