MantisTable UI: A Web Interface for Comprehensive Semantic Table Interpretation Management

Semantic Table Interpretation (STI) is crucial in various fields, including data analysis, knowledge representation, and information retrieval. Developing an efficient User Interface (UI) for managing and interacting with STI approaches would significantly contribute to the field of semantic data management by providing a practical and accessible tool, filling the current void in state-of-the-art solutions. To address these challenges, we introduce MantisTable UI, a comprehensive web-based interface designed to simplify the management of STI processes. This tool streamlines the user experience with its intuitive design and offers a powerful plugin system, allowing easy extension and customisation of its capabilities. The paper details the architecture and features of MantisTable UI, emphasising its modular design and user-friendly interface, and demonstrating how it can significantly enhance productivity and flexibility for researchers and developers working with tables. To assess the efficiency and usability of the platform, task-based testing and a questionnaire were administered to a group of participants. Results demonstrated that MantisTable UI was positively received for its functionalities and effectiveness in facilitating sophisticated table interpretation tasks, ultimately advancing semantic data management.
