From Tables to Frames

Turning the current Web into a Semantic Web requires automatic approaches for annotation of existing data since manual approaches will not scale in general. We here present an approach for automatic generation of frames out of tables which subsequently supports the automatic population of ontologies from table-like structures. The approach consists of a methodology, an accompanying implementation and a thorough evaluation. It is based on a grounded cognitive table model which is stepwise instantiated by our methodology.
