ACoAR – A Method for the Automatic Classification of Annotated Resources – KCAP 2009
Abstract
As the number of Web 2.0 sites increases, so do the use of folksonomies as classification systems. Their increasing popularity has made them interesting as a tool to bridge the gap between Web 2.0 and the Semantic Web. In this paper we propose a classification method that automatically classifies annotated resources under the concepts of a classification system represented by an ontology. We evaluate the method using information obtained from two well known systems used to classify web pages: i) del.icio.us for the folksonomy information and ii) DMOZ project for an existing ontology. Results obtained provide a correct classification rate of resources of 73%, rising to 93% when using an adequate threshold.
