Abstract

This paper investigates the role of ontologies as a central part of an architecture to
repurpose existing material from the Web. A prototype system called ArtEquAKT
is presented, which combines information extraction, knowledge management and
consolidation techniques and adaptive document generation.
All of these components are co-ordinated using one central ontology, providing a
common vocabulary for describing the information fragments as they are processed.
Each of the components of the architecture is described in detail and an evaluation
of the system discussed. Conclusions are drawn as to the eectiveness of such an
approach and further challenges are outlined.
