Translingual Information Management Using Domain Ontologies Overview:
The very large and continuing investment in the creation of online
bibliographies and digital libraries has resulted in a body of tens of
millions of textual records in all languages, carefully categorized by
topic using systems for the organization of recorded knowledge -- indexing
languages, library classifications, and topical thesauri, collectively
"domain ontologies." This vast infrastructure, maintained in accordance
with well-established and increasingly interoperable standards and
protocols, can be viewed a corpus of carefully coded language fragments:
titles, metadata, and, sometimes, summaries or the full text of documents.
