Semantic Annotating of Text Documents: Basic Concepts and Taxonomic Approach

Abstract

One of the tools for the semantic enrichment of the content of information resources is semantic annotating, which makes it possible to comment on and evaluate annotated resources and their fragments and to carry out a semantic search on their basis. The use of the taxonomic approach simultaneously allows classifying the subjects of annotating and generating new scientometric indicators. This paper considers the essence of semantic annotating, defines the basic concepts, discusses the general model of semantic annotation and taxonomic approach to presenting the semantics of annotations, and gives the examples of taxonomies based on various properties of annotations. The implementation of semantic annotating in the Socionet scientific information system is considered as an example.
