1. KYOTO (ICT ) Knowledge Yielding Ontologies for Transition-Based Organization Intelligent Content and Semantics The First KYOTO Workshop February Overall Kyoto Architecture and Kyoto Annotation Format Carlo Aliprandi - SyNTHEMA

2. Kyoto Architecture - Baselines
KYOTO: an information sharing system that enables the extraction of deep semantics (Web 3.0) from texts, for a selected domain, anchoring meaning across cultures and languages
KYOTO: a social platform (Web 2.0) for knowledge sharing and transfer supporting people and organization in building, maintaining and improving knowledge
Baselines for KYOTO architecture:
Strong backbone for data exchange among components
Adopt and adapt existing standards
Open and public system
Synchronize across versions/languages/NLP tools/research groups
API to connect to sources and services
Services to plug and unplug different knowledge sources (Lexicon, Wordnets, Ontologies
Tradeoff btw generic vs domain resources
