International Workshop on Development and Use of Multilingual Knowledgebase / Knowledgemining System (LAKES)
Shiga, February 25 – March 2, 2019
LAKES has been developed over the past decade at Research Center for Sustainability in collaboration with International Lake Environment Committee Foundation (ILEC). It is designed for instantaneous ‘mining’ of a vast body of information and data, in the form of PDF format of Microsoft® Office products, i.e., Words, Excel, and Power Point, having been pre-compiled (pre-imported) into the System. The mining can be performed using free keywords as well as interchangeable thesauruses, i.e., rapidly identifying sentences, figures, tables, paragraphs, pages, chapters. The system has multi-lingual capacity for the Latin languages (e.g., French, Spanish, etc.) or the pseudo-Latin linguistic structure languages (e.g., Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa Indonesia, Tagalog, etc.)
The specific purposes of this Workshop are for the participants to discuss and prepare to implement a dedicated SEAL-net knowledgebase/database system based on the above LAKES platform, i.e., a web-based version called LAKES3 for the regional protocol, and a stand-alone version called LAKES4 for the institution-specific intranet protocol.

In oder to prepare the launching of LAKES on International Conference TropLimno August 2019 https://www.troplimno2019.or.id/ . The preliminary workshop has been held in Shiga, Japan for February 25 – March 2, 2019. Next, SealNet forum in TropLimno 2019 will be conducted, including introduce LAKES for ASEAN participants.
