Abstract

One of the most challenging aspects of developing information systems is the processing and management of large volumes of information. One way to overcome this problem is to implement efficient data indexing and classification systems. As large volumes of generated data comprise of non-structured textual data, developing text processing, management and indexing frameworks can play an important role in providing users with accurate information according to their preferences. In this paper, a novel method of semantic information processing, management and indexing is introduced. The main goals of this study is to integrate structured knowledge of ontology and Knowledge Bases (KBs) in the core components of the method, to enrich the contents of the documents,  to have  multi-level semantic network representation of textual resources, to introduce a hybrid weighting schema (salient score) and finally to propose a hybrid method of semantic similarity computation. The structured knowledge of ontology and KBs are integrated from all aspects of the proposed method. The obtained results indicate the accuracy and optimal performance of the proposed framework. The obtained results suggest that using knowledge-based models leads to higher performance and accuracy in identifying and classifying documents according to user preferences; however, if learning-based models are not provided with sufficient amount of training data, they cannot yield satisfying results. The results also demonstrate that the complete integration of ontology and KBs in information systems can significantly contribute to a better representation of documents and evidently superior functionality of information processing, management and indexing systems.
