OntoELAN：一个基于本体的语言多媒体标注器
OntoELAN: An Ontology-based Linguistic Multimedia Annotator
摘要：
尽管人类语言具有科学、政治和实用价值，但关于人类语言的全面信息，无论其多样性和复杂性如何，都不容易获得和搜索。其中一个原因是，许多语言数据是以音频和视频记录的形式收集的，这对文档索引和检索提出了挑战。多媒体数据的注释提供了一个机会，使语义显式和方便的多媒体文档的搜索。我们开发了OntoELAN，一个基于本体的语言多媒体注释器，它的特点是：（1）支持加载和显示OWL中指定的本体;（2）创建一个语言配置文件，允许用户从本体中选择一个术语子集，并在需要时方便地重命名它们;（3）创建本体层，可以用配置文件术语和相应的本体术语进行注释;以及（4）以XML格式将注释保存为多媒体本体类实例，以及与它们链接的在本体层中使用的其它本体的类实例。据我们所知，OntoELAN是语言学领域第一个支持基于本体的注释的音频/视频注释工具。
英文摘要：
Despite its scientific, political, and practical value, comprehensive information about human languages, in all their variety and complexity, is not readily obtainable and searchable. One reason is that many language data are collected as audio and video recordings which imposes a challenge to document indexing and retrieval. Annotation of multimedia data provides an opportunity for making the semantics explicit and facilitates the searching of multimedia documents. We have developed OntoELAN, an ontology-based linguistic multimedia annotator that features: (1) support for loading and displaying ontologies specified in OWL; (2) creation of a language profile, which allows a user to choose a subset of terms from an ontology and conveniently rename them if needed; (3) creation of ontological tiers, which can be annotated with profile terms and, therefore, corresponding ontological terms; and (4) saving annotations in the XML format as Multimedia Ontology class instances and, linked to them, class instances of other ontologies used in ontological tiers. To our best knowledge, OntoELAN is the first audio/video annotation tool in linguistic domain that provides support for ontology-based annotation.
