SemTag and Seeker — Bootstrapping the Semantic Web via [create Automated Semantic Annotation]

By [create Stephen Dill], Nadav Eiron, [create David Gibson], Dan Gruhl, R. Guha, [create Anant Jhingran], Tapas Kanungo, [create Sridhar Rajagopalan], Andrew Tomkins, John Tomlin, and Jason Zien.

"Today's reality is that few documents contain such [semantic] annotations a priori, and we are in a state of circular dependency. [...] A natural approach to break this cycle and provide an early set of widespread semantic tags is automated generation."

Taxonomy-Based Disambiguation

Keep Peter Norvig in mind (quoted from oreillynet.com):

'Every now and then someone will stand up and say "We need to have large scale, established and standardized ontologies in order to make sense of the information on the web."

But such a categorization is already encoded in the structure of the web, and Google is already using it.

In fact, the added benefit from such resource-intensive ontology development and characerization is not readily apparent.'
