Abstract
To enable knowledge access across languages, ontologies that are often represented only in English need to be translated into different languages. Since manual multilingual enhancement of domain-specific ontologies is very time consuming and expensive, smart solutions are required to facilitate the translation task for the language and domain experts. For this reason, we present ESSOT, an Expert Supporting System for Ontology Translation, which support experts in accomplishing the multilingual ontology management task.3 Differently than the classic document translation, ontology label translation faces highly specific vocabulary and lack contextual information. Therefore, ESSOT takes advantage of the semantic information of the ontology for ranslation improvement of the ontology labels.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
