SemNews: A Semantic News Framework

Akshay Java, Tim Finin, and Sergei Nirenburg

February 22, 2006

SemNews is a semantic news service that monitors different RSS news feeds and provides structured representations of the meaning of news. As new content appears, SemNews extracts a summary from the RSS description and processes it with OntoSem, a sophisticated text understanding system. OntoSem performs syntactic, semantic, and pragmatic analyses of the text, resulting in its text meaning representation (TMR). The TMRs are represented using a constructed world model or an ontology comprising about 8,000 concepts.
