The LASSO Team has successfully finished the first internal prototype of the Contextualized Semantic Lookup Service, and most of the envisioned functionality is already there!
Correspondingly to a local concept coming from the PoolParty thesaurus management application present in the Use Case Enterprise Collaboration (EC), a lookup to the Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud is carried out. The results from the LOD cloud are then ranked according to various algorithms, depending on Use Case and subsequent processing.
The second prototype scheduled for beginning of 2012 will include full integration into the LASSO framework, refined ranking algorithms and improved Linked Open Data cloud support.
