Abstract

In this chapter, we will analyze a number of essential knowledge engineering activities that, for technical or principled reasons, can hardly be optimally executed through automatic processing approaches, thus remaining heavily reliant on human intervention. Human computation methods can be applied to this field in order to overcome these limitations in terms of accuracy, while still being able to fully take advantage of the scalability and performance of machine-driven capabilities. For each activity, we will explain how this symbiosis can be achieved by giving a short overview of the state of the art and several examples of systems and applications such as games-with-a-purpose, microtask crowdsourcing projects, and community-driven collaborative initiatives that showcase the benefits of the general idea.

Fußnoten
1
Especially in tasks like data annotation or data quality assessment, which involve defining and encoding the meaning of the resources published on the Web or resolving semantic conflicts such as data ambiguity or inconsistency.
 
2
A similar process model applies to the creation, management and use of instance data. Management and pre-development activities cover the entire scope of the knowledge-engineering exercise. Development, post-development and support activities are equally relevant to both schema and data, though there might be differences in their actual realization. For example, instance data is typically lifted from existing sources into the newly created ontological schema, while a greater share of activities at the ontology level are carried out manually.
 
3
Exceptions include highly contextualized systems, which require extensive training and/or background knowledge. In these cases, the manual efforts shifts from the creation and maintenance of the knowledge base to the generation of training data sets and background corpora.
