MySins

MySins is a framework issued form our work on semantic interoperability. It proposes a set of tools necessary to build an information system: access to data, access to ontologies, similarity computation, query treatment, etc. These components can be easily comes posed and integrated to build a distributed information system such that each participant can take advantage of others capabilities and delegate some operations to others.

Framework

Mysins (Make Your Semantic INformation system) is a framework providing several basic services: 

  • ontology access, 
  • similarity function, 
  • indexing (lexical and semantic), 
  • data access, 
  • IR method, 
  • relevance measure (between queries and documents), 
  • etc. 
This framework has been designed to be used in distributed systems. The following figure illustrates an example where three participants interoperate to share documents. To do so, they use/provide services to others.

Graphic User Interfaces 

In order to demonstrate the usability of our framework, we developped a small application in which two participants can interoperate: 
  • a documents' supplier, 
  • a user searching for some documents.

Documents' supplier

The documents' supplier's GUI is show in the following figure. It allows him to browse a collection of documents (left panel), to read his documents (central panel) and to see how they are indexed (right panel). The parameters used to index the documents can be tuned in a specific window accessible from the main menu. 

Documents supplier GUI
This GUI has been implemented with Java and Swing. 

User

The user can issue queries and the get the relevant documents. A google-like interface allows users to enter keywords (then they are linked to concepts). Two methods of IR have been implemented: 
  • classical method using the cosine mesure, 
  • ExSI²D method. 
The following interface allows users to tune the parameter to use: ontology, method of IR, number of documents to retrieve, etc.
