Intelligent topic map: A new approach to multi-resource knowledge service

Along with the up-rising of knowledge economy, effective organizing multiple, distributed, heterogeneous knowledge resource and providing high-quality knowledge services for users have been becoming increasingly important. This paper proposes a novel concept of intelligent topic map for knowledge organization and knowledge services, which embodies the multi-level, multi-granularity and inherent relevant characteristics of knowledge and realizes knowledge reasoning. And then we define the architecture of multi-resource knowledge services based on intelligent topic map. Additionally, with the cloud computing as platform, a knowledge service system for multi-resource is designed and implemented. Finally, a demonstration is given to display the knowledge navigation based on intelligent topic map.
