Abstract
We are surrounded by ever growing volumes of unstructured and weakly-structured information, and for a human being, domain expert or not, it is nearly impossible to read, understand and categorize such information in a fair amount of time. Moreover, different user categories have different expectations: final users need easy-to-use tools and services for specific tasks, knowledge engineers require robust tools for knowledge acquisition, knowledge categorization and semantic resources development, while semantic applications developers demand for flexible frameworks for fast and easy, standardized development of complex applications. This work represents an experience report on the use of the CODA framework for rapid prototyping and deployment of knowledge acquisition systems for RDF. The system integrates independent NLP tools and custom libraries complying with UIMA standards. For our experiment a document set has been processed to populate the AGROVOC thesaurus with two new relationships.
