STAN: an incremental semantic annotation tool for tables on the web

STAN

The web is full of high quality data in the form of tables that could be integrated to generate new knowledge. However web tables are often lacking in semantics. A crucial problem is the correct relationships detection between a table and an ontology in order to define the semantics. In this context STAN is a tool for semi-automatic semantic annotation of tables that lets non technicians carry out the annotation process.
