Data needed for this reasoning process is often provided through a number of sensors. One approach for this kind of reasoning is evaluation of tem- poral logical formulas through progression. To evaluate these formulas it is necessary to provide relevant data for each symbol in a formula. Map- ping relevant data to symbols in a formula could be done manually, however as systems become more complex it is harder for a designer to explicitly state and maintain this mapping. Therefore, automatic support for map- ping data from sensors to symbols would make system more flexible and easier to maintain. DyKnow is a knowledge processing middleware which provides the sup- port for processing data on different levels of abstractions. The output from the processing components in DyKnow is in the form of streams of informa- tion. In the case of DyKnow, reasoning over incrementally available data is done by progressing metric temporal logical formulas. A logical formula contains a number of symbols whose values over time must be collected and synchronized in order to determine the truth value of the formula. Mapping symbols in formula to relevant streams is done manually in DyKnow. The purpose of this matching is for each variable to find one or more streams whose content matches the intended meaning of the variable. This thesis analyses and provides a solution to the process of semantic matching. The analysis is mostly focused on how the existing semantic technologies such as ontologies can be used in this process. The thesis also analyses how this process can be used for matching symbols in a formula to content of streams on distributed and heterogeneous platforms. Finally, the thesis presents an implementation in the Robot Operating System (ROS). The implementation is tested in two case studies which cover a scenario where there is only a single platform in a system and a scenario where there are multiple distributed heterogeneous platforms in a system. The conclusions are that the semantic matching represents an impor- tant step towards fully automatized semantic-based stream reasoning. Our solution also shows that semantic technologies are suitable for establishing machine-readable domain models. The use of these technologies made the iii iv semantic matching domain and platform independent as all domain and platform specific knowledge is specified in ontologies. Moreover, seman- tic technologies provide support for integration of data from heterogeneous sources which makes it possible for platforms to use streams from distributed sources.

None technical persons can only use natural language to specify their business requirements. However, the current version of Business process management and notation (BPMN) tools do not allow business analysts to implement their business processes without having technical skills. BPMN tool is a tool that allows users to design and implement the business processes by connecting different business tasks and rules together. The tools do not provide automatic implementation of business tasks from users’ specifications in natural language (NL). Therefore, this research aims to propose a framework to automatically implement the business processes that are expressed in NL requirements.

Currently, we serve pre-trained embeddings for four knowledge graphs. We introduce the service and its usage, and we show further that the trained models have semantic value by evaluating them on multiple semantic benchmarks. The evaluation also reveals that the combination of multiple models can lead to a better outcome than the best individual model.

  • A Distributional Semantic Search Infrastructure for Linked Dataspaces
    A Distributional Semantic Search Infrastructure for Linked Dataspaces Andr´eFreitas, Se´an O’Riain, Edward Curry Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) National University of Ireland, Galway Abstract. This paper describes and demonstrates a distributional se- mantic search service infrastructure for Linked Dataspaces. The center of the approach relies on the use of a distributional semantics infrastruc- ture to provide semantic search and query services over data for users and applications, improving data accessibility over the Dataspace. By ac- cessing the services through a REST API, users can semantically index and search over data using the distributional semantic knowledge embed- ded in the reference corpus. The use of distributional semantic models, which rely on the automatic extraction from large corpora, supports a comprehensive and approximative semantic matching mechanism with a low associated adaptation cost for the inclusion of new data sources. Keywords: Distributional Semantics, Semantic Matching, Semantic Search, Explicit Semantic Analysis, Dataspaces, Linked Data. 1 Motivation Within the realm of the Web and of Big Data, dataspaces where data is more complex, sparse and heterogeneous are becoming more common. Consuming this data demands applications and search/query mechanisms with the seman- tic flexibility necessary to cope with the semantic/vocabulary gap between users, different applications and data sources within the dataspace. Traditionally, con- suming structured data demands that users, applications and databases share the same vocabulary before data consumption, where the semantic matching process is done manually. As dataspaces grow in complexity, the ability to se- mantically search over data using one’s own vocabulary becomes a fundamental functionality for dataspaces.
