Abstract
This paper describes work carried out in the European project
TrendMiner which partly deals with the extraction and
representation of real time information from dynamic data
streams.
The focus of this paper lies on the construction of an
integrated ontology, TMO, the TrendMiner Ontology, that has
been assembled from several independent multilingual taxonomies
and ontologies which are brought together by an interface
specification, expressed in OWL.
Within TrendMiner, TMO serves as a common language that helps
to interlink data, delivered from both symbolic and statistical
components of the TrendMiner system.
Very often, the extracted data is supplied as quintuples, RDF
triples that are extended by two further temporal arguments,
expressing the temporal extent in which an atemporal statement
is true.
In this paper, we will also sneak a peek on the temporal
entailment rules and queries that are built into the semantic
repository hosting the data and which can be used to derive
useful new information.
