Crosslingual language technologies for knowledge creation and knowledge sharing

Published:06 July 2001Publication History

ABSTRACT

A large and fast growing part of corporate knowledge is encoded in electronic texts. Although digital information repositories are becoming truly multimedial, human language will remain the only medium for preserving and sharing complex concepts, experiences and ideas. It is also the only medium suited for expressing metainformation. For a human reader a text has a rich structure, for a data processing machine it is merely a string of symbols. Classical information retrieval helps to sort and find information in large libraries of documents by matching strings of characters. Effective information management is a building block of modern knowledge management. However, language technology can contribute much more than methods for finding information.
