KIM provides a Knowledge and Information Management (KIM) infrastructure and services for automatic semantic annotation, indexing, and retrieval of unstructured and semi-structured content. Within the process of annotation, KIM also performs ontology population. As a base line, KIM analyzes texts and recognizes references to entities (like persons, organizations, locations, dates). Then it tries to match the reference with a known entity, having a unique URI and description in the knowledge base. Alternatively, a new URI and entity description are automatically generated. Finally, the reference in the document gets annotated with the URI of the entity. This process, as well, as the result of it, are the KIM’s offer for semantic annotation. This sort of meta-data is later on used for semantic indexing, retrieval, visualization, and automatic hyper-linking of documents. KIM is a platform which offers a server, web user interface, and Internet Explorer plug-in. KIM is equipped with an upper-level ontology (KIMO) of about 250 classes and 100 properties. Further, a knowledge base (KIM KB), pre-populated with up to 200 000 entity descriptions, is bundled with KIM. In terms of underlying technology, KIM is using GATE, Sesame, and Lucene. This has been added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
