General Fragment Model for Information Artifacts

View CodeNotebook

The use of semantic descriptions in data intensive domains require a systematic model for linking semantic descriptions with their manifestations in fragments of heterogeneous information and data objects. Such information heterogeneity requires a fragment model that is general enough to support the specification of anchors from conceptual models to multiple types of information artifacts. While diverse proposals of anchoring models exist in the literature, they are usually focused in audiovisual information. We propose a generalized fragment model that can be instantiated to different kinds of information artifacts. Our objective is to systematize the way in which fragments and anchors can be described in conceptual models, without committing to a specific vocabulary.
