Leveraging metadata creation for the Semantic Web with CREAM

Abstract

The success of the Semantic Web crucially depends on the easy creation of ontology-based metadata by semantic annotation. We provide a framework, CREAM, that allows for the creation of semantic metadata about static and dynamic Web pages, i.e. for semantic annotation of the Shallow and the Deep Web. CREAM supports the manual and the semi-automatic annotation of static Web pages, the authoring of new web pages with the simultaneous creation of metadata, and the deep annotation of Web pages defined dynamically by database queries.
