Hi All, Apologies for the cross post; however thought this one was appropriate for both lists. I've developed a system which uses various web services to identify terms in text based content, it then matches these terms up to known URIs in order to make some linked data triples. The problem I'm having is how to express what the information is about correctly; simply using "tags" won't do. So let's say I run an article of content through called "Deforestation and Competing Water Uses" the main subjects of the article are: + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Deforestation + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Reforestation + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Soil_conservation + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Silt (siltation) + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Aberdare_Range + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Tana_River_%28Kenya%29 which is fine, they are dc:subject / foaf:topic etc but then the article is under the general topics of: + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Adaptation_to_global_warming + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Kenya and it mentions: + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Sustainable_forest_management + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Afforestation + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Hydropower + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Municipal_water_supply + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Life_span + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Soil + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Forestry + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Plant + http://dbpedia.org/resource/Reservoir >From the aspect of the seeker, these "mentions" are invaluable - if I was doing a report on issues affection reservoirs in kenya, then this data is most valuable and thus related. so, which ontology is most suited for this case of "mentions"? it's not a subject or a tag, and don't want to identify the data as such as that is misleading and could be easily misrepresented within UIs if it were. Any feedback is most gratefully received as I'm on very limited time with the current project. Many Regards, Nathan / webr3
