Abstract

Multiple tasks related to documents, such as indexing, retrieving, annotation, or translation are based on linguistic, terminological and ontological knowledge existing in resources of different types represented using various formalisms. Building bridges between these resources and using them together is a complex task. Solving this problem relies on finding the right resources before extracting the required data. Ontology repositories have been created to help in this task by collecting ontologies and offering effective indexing of these resources. However, these repositories treat a single category of resources and do not provide operations for generating new resources. To meet these needs in terms of knowledge engineering, our contributions are (1) an ontology for representing heterogeneous resources and knowledge combination operators; (2) an approach based on the principles of semantic web to ensure the representation, storage and alignment of heterogeneous resources and (3) the development of an ontology-based repository for combining alignment resources.
