Towards Opinion Mining Through Tracing Discussions on the Web
This paper reports on our ongoing work regarding opinion mining from Web-based discussion forums in the realm of the Understanding Advertising (UAd) project. Our approach to opinion mining is to first RDFise discussion forums in SIOC, and in a second phase to interlink the so created data with linked datasets such as DBpedia. We are confident that this should allow a market researcher to formulate queries using domain semantics and hence understand what people think about a certain product or service. The system’s architecture, preliminary results, and the current available demonstrator are discussed in this work.
