Information extraction techniques for the purposes of semantic indexing of archaeological resources

Vlachidis, Andreas; Tudhope, Douglas; Binding, Ceri

Abstract

The paper describes the use of Information Extraction (IE), a Natural Language Processing (NLP) technique to assist ‘rich’ semantic indexing of diverse archaeological text resources. Such unpublished online documents are often referred to as ‘Grey Literature’. Established document indexing techniques are not sufficient to satisfy user information needs that expand beyond the limits of a simple term matching search. The focus of the research is to direct a semantic-aware 'rich' indexing of diverse natural language resources with properties capable of satisfying information retrieval from on-line publications and datasets associated with the Semantic Technologies for Archaeological Resources (STAR) project in the UoG Hypermedia Research Unit.
