[admin] Project Creation Request: cl-semantic

Mon Jan 30 23:12:05 UTC 2006

Dear Common-Lisp:

I would like to host a project on your site regarding writing a macro  
collection for extracting and generating relationships between  
information using semantic ontologies for the Semantic Web, which  
will be tested using MIT's Piggy Bank extraction project, of which I  
am a member. I am in the process of researching using Lisp to develop  
macros for generating and processing semantic data, particularly the  
processing of OWL & RDF vocabularies and establishing relationships  
faster using functional programming to rapidly generate ontological  
relationships. The exact idea is presented in a paper: “Building  
Ontological Data From Lists For Semantic Processing”, which is being  
readied for Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM  
2006). It relies heavily on s-xml, cl-prevelance and cells.

This will be of general interest since it will allow anyone using RDF/ 
OWL to "annotate" their websites to use these macros to parse and  
generate their ontological relationships faster. Parsing and creating  
these relationships will be even more incredible given Lisp's ability  
to manage large amounts of similar relationship atoms together in a  
relationship that can persisted on the back end without any framework  
code. So much research in the actual code implementation of OWL/RDF  
parsing is locked in to Algol thinking, and I believe it could be  
better represented, and give Lisp some good visibility, to try to  
tackle this problem from the functional perspective and build small  
light-weight parsing algorithms that can build on top of each other  
to establish relationships instead of the brute-force parsing now  
done in a top-down fashion using C++, C# and Java in the Simile  
project at MIT.

I also have other open source projects of high-visibility including  
Fatima (JavaPress) which is hosted on Java.net A full list of the  
work and research I've done and a link to my articles and  
publications can be found on my website.

Thanks!
