A Watershed Approach to Managing the Natural Resources in South Carolina

Environmental degradation from point and non-point source pollution in the past ten years has made it increasingly clear that threats to aquatic resources cannot adequately be addressed without a more integrated watershed approach to the management. Through comprehensive, qualitative interviews of experts in the watershed approach in South Carolina, recommendations will be made to improve this holistic process. Conducting interviews to compile institutional knowledge on the incentives and barriers from professionals working within the watershed approach will show how managing the natural resources in South Carolina could be more effective and efficient. By gathering experiences of lessons learned, best approach techniques, and suggestions for future watershed planning, several recommendations were made to further the use of the watershed approach in South Carolina.

Enriching the integration of semantic resources based on WordNet

In this paper we present the enrichment of the Integration of Semantic Resources based in WordNet (ISR-WN Enriched). This new proposal improves the previous one where several semantic resources such as SUMO, WordNet Domains and WordNet Affects were related, adding other semantic resources such as Semantic Classes and SentiWordNet. Firstly, the paper describes the architecture of this proposal explaining the particularities of each integrated resource. After that, we analyze some problems related to the mappings of different versions and how we solve them. Moreover, we show the advantages that this kind of tool can provide to different applications of Natural Language Processing. Related to that question, we can demonstrate that the integration of semantic resources allows acquiring a multidimensional vision in the analysis of natural language.
