Automatic Construction of RSM Based on XML

Abstract

A Resource Space Model is a semantic model to organize, locate and operate Web resources in a multi-dimensional resource space. It's easy for users to understand the resource space and locate resources in it because a resource space is constructed based on the classification semantics. In general, resource spaces models are manually designed and constructed based on domain knowledge and resource analysis. Human factors, such as personal opinions, knowledge level and design skill, will influence the design result of a resource space. To reduce the difficulties of the manual design and ease the designing process, this work studies the issues of automated creation of a resource space and proposes a general method to automatically construct resource spaces from XML files.
