Toward semantic understanding: an approach based on information extraction ontologies

This paper proffers the use of information-extraction ontologies as an approach that may lead to semantic understanding.

Abstract

Information is ubiquitous, and we are flooded with more than we can process. Somehow, we must rely less on visual processing, point-and-click navigation, and manual decision making and more on computer sifting and organization of information and automated negotiation and decision making. A resolution of these problems requires software with semantic understanding---a grand challenge of our time.
