Document Management Systems (DMSs) are a key component in modern enterprises. For successful document search and retrieval, an adequate metadata set should be defined in order to describe documents with sufficient detail. However, often a single metadata set is not sufficient throughout the whole DMS, as different document types require different attributes to be properly characterized. In this paper, we introduce ontologies as a modeling technology for structured metadata definition within DMSs. Focusing on the ebXML registry standard, we show an approach to enhance DMSs for semantic content management and then we propose a method to exploit this new capability for automated document characterization.

Abstract
Document Management Systems (DMSs) are a key component in modern enterprises. For successful document search and retrieval, an adequate metadata set should be defined in order to describe documents with sufficient detail. However, often a single metadata set is not sufficient throughout the whole DMS, as different document types require different attributes to be properly characterized. In this paper, we introduce ontologies as a modeling technology for structured metadata definition within DMSs. Focusing on the ebXML registry standard, we show an approach to enhance DMSs for semantic content management and then we propose a method to exploit this new capability for automated document characterization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
