This collaborative project "TANGO" is leveraging strengths of research teams at Brigham Young University (IIS-0414644, PI: David Embley) and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (IIS 0414854, PI: George Nagy). TANGO is a framework for organizing domain-specific factual data appearing in independently generated web pages. Algorithms and software are developed for extracting and interpreting individual lists and tables and integrating them with the contents of other tables that present partially overlapping information. The input pages may be HTML, PDF, PostScript, or scanned document image files. The output of the system is an ontology that provides the conceptual framework for the domain. The ontology evolves as web pages with additional relevant data are harvested and processed. Constructing ontologies is currently a labor and skill intensive process. The TANGO framework automates much of the ontology construction task for a domain when information exists in lists and tables that describe the domain. The results of this project build stepping stones to the Semantic Web, for which ontologies are a central component. Therefore, this project will have an impact on users of the Semantic Web, who assisted by the automated software agents developed in this project, can accomplish information-based tasks for research, scholarship, planning, design, education, and entertainment. This cross-disciplinary and cross-university endeavor introduces graduate and undergraduate students to cutting-edge research. Developed tools (including source programs), a corpus of tables both in raw and normalized forms, collected test data, and technical reports can be found at the project website (http://www.tango.byu.edu).

这个合作项目“探戈”利用了杨百翰大学(IIS-0414644，PI：David Embley)和伦斯勒理工学院(IIS 0414854，PI：George Nagy)的研究团队的优势。Tango是一个框架，用于组织出现在独立生成的网页中的特定于领域的事实数据。开发了用于提取和解释单独的列表和表格并将其与呈现部分重叠信息的其他表格的内容相结合的算法和软件。输入页面可以是HTML、PDF、PostScript或扫描的文档图像文件。系统的输出是为领域提供概念框架的本体。本体随着具有附加相关数据的网页的获取和处理而演变。构建本体目前是一个劳动和技能密集型的过程。当描述领域的列表和表格中存在信息时，Tango框架会自动完成领域的大部分本体构建任务。这个项目的结果为语义网奠定了基础，而语义网的本体论是语义网的核心组成部分。因此，本项目将对语义网的用户产生影响，他们在本项目所开发的自动化软件代理的帮助下，可以完成研究、学术、规划、设计、教育、娱乐等信息化任务。这种跨学科和跨大学的努力向研究生和本科生介绍尖端研究。开发的工具(包括源程序)、原始形式和标准化形式的表格语料库、收集的测试数据和技术报告可在项目网站(http://www.tango.byu.edu).)上找到
