IPTC Based Ontological Representation of Educational News RSS Feeds Shikha Agarwal, Archana Singhal and Punam Bedi

Abstract In order to make online news retrieval more appropriate in respect to end user, it is necessary to make machines aware of a greater part of the underlying semantics. Ontology will help to realize this future of web. In this paper, we have worked upon how to represent Educational News RSS Feeds by using an ontological structure. We are also incorporating International Press Telecommunication Council (IPTC) standards in our design since IPTC has proposed various standards for news industry to make the system more interoperable. Our main objective is to make a structure which can satisfy the specific demands of various categories of end users of the Educational domain. Designed ontology is then tested to meet various criteria mentioned in the paper.

39.1 Introduction In today’s busy world online news industry needs to represent news in a manner, using which end user can access specific news of their interest and need. This can be achieved using semantic web technologies [1]. In this paper, we have presented how to design ontology for Educational News domain. Motivation is that Education can S. Agarwal (&)  A.

enhance competitiveness of a country in Global economy. We have taken a corpus of nearly 500 headline news in RSS format from reliable source, for initial analysis. We are emphasizing on news representation by classifying keywords of the domain into concepts and sub concepts. For the first level of categorization in ontology, we are incorporating standards given by IPTC [2]. We have carefully further refined categories into subcategories and identified their properties. We have implemented our design with OWL ontology language using Protégé tool. Here, we are giving criteria’s to test the designed ontology as testing the designed structure or knowledge base makes it logically sound. Testing and Evaluation of the proposed Ontology shows that most of the educational news can be properly categorized and implicit knowledge can be mapped to the properties of the concepts. In this paper our focus is on giving proper semantic structure to educational news.

39.2 Related Works To represent concepts, properties and relations in news domain, various Ontologies have been developed. Papyrus [3], Mesh [4], Neptuno [5] all projects are approaches to develop news domain ontology. In these projects main focus is on the creation and maintenance of digital achieve of newspaper. In ou
