New Dimensions in Semantic Knowledge Management

With the Internet becoming part of everyday life, technologies enriching available data and software services with metadata gain importance. These semantic technologies for modeling knowledge bases and managing them have already started to be applied in the World Wide Web and in enterprises for some years. But, up to now, semantic technologies are mainly associated with semantic search and automatic extraction of lightweight semantics (metadata) from Wikipedia and other text sources available in the World Wide Web. New challenges are the design of analysis tools and the modeling of further characteristics of data for automatic information processing and interpretation: Aspects like relations between people, entities and instances as well as all different types of contexts, also comprising big data, come into focus. In this article the authors illustrate these new dimensions with respect to context addressed and show some prospective applications.
