Abstract: A method is provided for integrating model and domain semantics in business models. The method includes a business model inputting step for inputting the business model to be realized; a domain semantics locating step for locating the domain semantics of the modeling element of the business model within the domain ontology and outputting the corresponding domain model semantics; a model semantics transforming step for transforming the modeling element of the business model into business model semantics that are represented by a model ontology; and a unified semantic model forming step for combining the aforesaid business model semantics and domain model semantics and then outputting a unified semantic model. The teachings disclosed are directed to facilitate the integration and utilization of the semantics embedded in business models.

Abstract: A system and method for expanding new sample seeds to automatically expand corpora, in which sample seeds are used to collect corpus is provided. The new sample seeds are generated based on the already existed sample seeds and collected corpora; The corpus expansion strategy is determined based on all the sample seeds having been used and new sample seeds: The new sample seeds are refmed based on the corpus expansion strategy, and the refmed new sample seeds are used to further collect corpus. The above steps are repeatedly executed until predefined condition is satisfied. According to the invention, corpus may be automatically expanded from the web or other resources with low cost and in convenient way to improve the coverage of corpora.
