  • Semantic Science: Ontologies, Data and Probabilistic Theories
    Semantic Science: Ontologies, Data and Probabilistic Theories David Poole1, Clinton Smyth2, and Rita Sharma2 1 Department of Computer Science, University of British Columbia http://www.cs.ubc.ca/spider/poole/ 2 Georeference Online Ltd., http://www.georeferenceonline.com/ Abstract. This chapter overviews work on semantic science. The idea is that, using rich ontologies, both observational data and theories that make (probabilistic) predictions on data are published for the purposes of improving or comparing the theories, and for making predictions in new cases. This paper concentrates on issues and progress in having machine accessible scientific theories that can be used in this way. This paper presents the grand vision, issues that have arisen in building such systems for the geological domain (minerals exploration and geohazards), and sketches the formal foundations that underlie this vision. The aim is to get to the stage where: any new scientific theory can be tested on all available data; any new data can be used to evaluate all existing theories that make predictions on that data; and when someone has a new case they can use the best theories that make predictions on that case. 1 Introduction The aim of the semantic web (Berners-Lee and Fischetti, 1999; Berners-Lee et al., 2001) is that the world's information is available in a machine-understandable form. This chapter overviews what we call semantic science, the application of semantic technology and reasoning under uncertainty to the practice of science. Semantic science requires machine-understandable information of three sorts: on- tologies to define vocabulary, data about observations of the world, and theories that make predictions on such data.

  • Usage of Ontologies and Software Agents for Knowledge-Based Design of Mechatronic Systems
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED’07 28 - 31 AUGUST 2007, CITE DES SCIENCES ET DE L'INDUSTRIE, PARIS, FRANCE USAGE OF ONTOLOGIES AND SOFTWARE AGENTS FOR KNOWLEDGE-BASED DESIGN OF MECHATRONIC SYSTEMS Ewald G. Welp1, Patrick Labenda1 and Christian Bludau2 1Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany 2Behr-Hella Thermocontrol GmbH, Lippstadt, Germany ABSTRACT Already in [1, 2 and 3] the newly developed Semantic Web Service Platform SEMEC (SEMantic and MEChatronics) has been introduced and explained. It forms an interconnection between semantic web, semantic web services and software agents, offering tools and methods for a knowledge-based design of mechatronic systems. Their development is complex and connected to a high information and knowledge need on the part of the engineers involved in it. Most of the tools nowadays available cannot meet this need to an adequate degree and in the demanded quality. The developed platform focuses on the design of mechatronic products supported by Semantic web services under use of the Semantic web as a dynamic and natural language knowledge base. The platform itself can also be deployed for the development of homogenous, i.e. mechanical and electronical systems. Of special scientific interest is the connection to the internet and semantic web, respectively, and its utilization within a development process. The platform can be used to support interdisciplinary design teams at an early phase in the development process by offering context- sensitive knowledge and by this to concretize as well as improve mechatronic concepts [1]. Essential components of this platform are a design environment, a domain ontology mechatronics as well as a software agent.

  • Building Semantic Enterprise Architecture Solutions with Topbraid Suite™
    Towards Executable Enterprise Models: Building Semantic Enterprise Architecture Solutions with TopBraid Suite™ Towards Executable Enterprise Models: Building Semantic Enterprise Architecture Solutions with TopBraid Suite™ What is Enterprise Architecture and Why is it Important to Business? Enterprise Architecture (EA) captures “what is happening” in the enterprise: how the enterprise’s activities, processes, capabilities, systems and components, information resources and technologies relate to the enterprise’s missions, goals and measurement system. To do this, EA expresses the interrelated structure of an enterprise’s processes, capabilities systems, information resources and technology dependencies. The objective of EA is to be able to understand the relationships between these elements; analyze and continuously adjust them for alignment with the business strategy, improved effectiveness and quality of service. When a Business Executive asks "what is an enterprise architecture and why is it useful?" a typical answer is “a model of how the enterprise works.” Useful, because it explains how business activities and processes use capabilities; how capabilities map to competencies and IT systems; how systems depend on technologies; and, how value is generated with measurable results that realize business goals. Increasingly, the demands of modern enterprises to both optimize their day to day operations and develop strategic capabilities and resources in their organizations, processes and infrastructures are driving the need for higher levels of Enterprise Architecture (EA) solutions. EA has emerged from a pure IT discipline to an embedded business tool that can focus on business-centered capability management. To support the business needs of complex, distributed enterprises, Enterprise Architecture practice and enabling technology/tools are evolving from Reference-only (text, models) to Interoperable (standards based) to Executable (federated, model-based, semantic-enabled).

  • Introduction of Semantic Technology for SAS® Programmers Kevin Lee, Clindata Insight, Moraga, CA
    PharmaSUG 2016 – Paper IB02 Introduction of Semantic Technology for SAS® programmers Kevin Lee, Clindata Insight, Moraga, CA ABSTRACT There is a new technology to express and search the data that can provide more meaning and relationship – semantic technology. The semantic technology can easily add, change and implement the meaning and relationship to the current data. Companies such as Facebook and Google are currently using the semantic technology. For example, Facebook Graph Search use semantic technology to enhance more meaningful search for users. The paper will introduce the basic concepts of semantic technology and its graph data model, Resource Description Framework (RDF). RDF can link data elements in a self-describing way with elements and property: subject, predicate and object. The paper will introduce the application and examples of RDF elements. The paper will also introduce three different representation of RDF: RDF/XML representation, turtle representation and N-triple representation. The paper will also introduce “CDISC standards RDF representation, Reference and Review Guide” published by CDISC and PhUSE CSS. The paper will discuss RDF representation, reference and review guide and show how CDISC standards are represented and displayed in RDF format. The paper will also introduce Simple Protocol RDF Query Language (SPARQL) that can retrieve and manipulate data in RDF format. The paper will show how programmers can use SPARQL to re-represent RDF format of CDISC standards metadata into structured tabular format. Finally, paper will discuss the benefits and futures of semantic technology. The paper will also discuss what semantic technology means to SAS programmers and how programmers take an advantage of this new technology.

On the downside, the data and content required for such marketing and sales are typically distributed, and difficult to identify and use, especially for small and medium enterprises. Further, a combination of content management and semantics for automated online marketing and sales is becoming practically feasible now, especially with the global adoption of knowledge graphs. A design and feasibility pilot of a solution implementing semantic content and data value chain for online direct marketing and sales, basing on knowledge graphs, and efficiently addressing multiple channels and stakeholders, is provided and evaluated with the end-users. The implementation is shown to be suitable for the use on the Web, social media and mobile channels.

Received: 18 June 2019; Accepted: 27 July 2019; Published: 30 July 2019 Abstract: Online cultural heritage resources are widely available through digital libraries maintained by numerous organizations. In order to improve discoverability in cultural heritage, the typical approach is metadata aggregation, a method where centralized efforts such as Europeana improve the discoverability by collecting resource metadata. The redefinition of the traditional data models for cultural heritage resources into data models based on semantic technology has been a major activity of the cultural heritage community. Yet, linked data may bring new innovation opportunities for cultural heritage metadata aggregation. We present the outcomes of a case study that we conducted within the Europeana cultural heritage network. In this study, the National Library of The Netherlands contributed by providing the role of data provider, while the Dutch Digital Heritage Network contributed as an intermediary aggregator that aggregates datasets and provides them to Europeana, the central aggregator.
