PERICLES Deliverable 4.4: Modelling Contextualised Semantics

The current deliverable summarises the work conducted within task T4.4 of WP4, presenting our proposed models for semantically representing digital content and its respective context– the latter refers to any information coming from the environment of the digital object (DO) that offers a better insight into the object’s status, its interrelationships with other content items and information about the object’s context of use.Within PERICLES,we refer to the content semantics enriched with the contextual perspective as “contextualised semantics”. The deliverable presents two complementary modelling approaches, based respectively on (a) ontologies and logics, and, (b) multivariate statistics. Additionally, D4.4 also studies semantic change and discusses our proposed methodologies for its detection, measurement and nterpretation, presenting a set of relevant experiments with different aspects of partner data aiming at visualising and finding solutions to semantic drifts.
