This presentation on data enrichment is part of the ARCOMEM training curriculum. Feel free to roam around or contact us on Twitter via @arcomem to learn more about ARCOMEM training on archiving Social Media.

2. The ARCOMEM approach
• Make use of the Social Web
– Huge source of user generated content
– Wide range of articulation methods
From simple „I like it“-Buttons to complete articles
– Represents the diversity of opinions of the public
• User activities often triggered by
– Events and related entities
(e.g. Sport Events, Celebrations,
Crises, News Articles, Persons,
Locations)
– Topics (e.g. Global Warming,
Financial Crisis, Swine Flu)
 A semantic-aware and socially-driven
preservation model is a natural way to go

3. The extraction components for text
Aim
 Extraction of Entities, Topics, Events and Opinions (ETOEs) from
 Web Pages
 Social Web (Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, …)
Challenges
 Entity recognition from degraded input sources (tweets etc)
 Advancing state of the art NLP and text mining
 Dynamics detection: evolution of terms/entities
 Semantic representation of Web objects and entities
 Appropriate RDF schemas for ETOE and Web objects
 Exploiting (Linked Open) Web data to enrich extracted ETOE
 Entity classification (into events, locations, topics etc) & consolidation

4. ETOE extraction with GATE: an example

candidate multi-word term

5. Data consolidation & integration problem
Data extracted from different components or during
different processing cycles not aligned
=> consolidation, disambiguation & correlation required.

6. Data clustering & enrichment
Enrichment of entities with related references to Linked
Data, particularly reference datasets (DBpedia, Freebase, …)
=> use enrichments for correlation/clustering/consolidation

10. ARCOMEM entities and enrichments - graph
Slide 10
 Nodes: entities/events (blue), enrichments DBpedia (green), Freebase (orange)
 1013 clusters of correlated entities/events

11.  Nodes: entities/events (blue), enrichments DBpedia (green), Freebase (orange)
 1013 clusters of correlated entities/events => cluster expansion by considering related enrichments
