  • Requirements, Design and Applications to Semantic Integration and Knowledge Discovery
    Practical Ontologies: Requirements, Design and Applications to Semantic Integration and Knowledge Discovery by Daniela Rosu A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto © Copyright by Daniela Rosu 2013 Practical Ontologies: Requirements, Design and Applications to Semantic Integration and Knowledge Discovery Daniela Rosu Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2013 Abstract Due to their role in describing the semantics of information, knowledge representations, from formal ontologies to informal representations such as folksonomies, are becoming increasingly important in facilitating the exchange of information, as well as the semantic integration of information systems and knowledge discovery in a large number of areas, from e-commerce to bioinformatics. In this thesis we present several studies related to the development and application of knowledge representations, in the form of practical ontologies. In Chapter 2, we examine representational challenges and requirements for describing practical domain knowledge. We present representational requirements we collected by surveying current and potential ontology users, discuss current approaches to codifying knowledge and give formal representation solutions to some of the issues we identified. In Chapter 3 we introduce a practical ontology for representing data exchanges, discuss its relationship with existing standards and its role in facilitating the interoperability between information producing and consuming services. ii We also consider the problem of assessing similarity between ontological concepts and propose three novel measures of similarity, detailed in Chapter 4. Two of our proposals estimate semantic similarity between concepts in the same ontology, while the third measures similarity between concepts belonging to different ontologies.

  • Where Is the Semantic Web? – an Overview of the Use of Embeddable Semantics in Austria
    Where Is The Semantic Web? – An Overview of the Use of Embeddable Semantics in Austria Wilhelm Loibl Institute for Service Marketing and Tourism Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria [email protected] Abstract Improving the results of search engines and enabling new online applications are two of the main aims of the Semantic Web. For a machine to be able to read and interpret semantic information, this content has to be offered online first. With several technologies available the question arises which one to use. Those who want to build the software necessary to interpret the offered data have to know what information is available and in which format. In order to answer these questions, the author analysed the business websites of different Austrian industry sectors as to what semantic information is embedded. Preliminary results show that, although overall usage numbers are still small, certain differences between individual sectors exist. Keywords: semantic web, RDFa, microformats, Austria, industry sectors 1 Introduction As tourism is a very information-intense industry (Werthner & Klein, 1999), especially novel users resort to well-known generic search engines like Google to find travel related information (Mitsche, 2005). Often, these machines do not provide satisfactory search results as their algorithms match a user’s query against the (weighted) terms found in online documents (Berry and Browne, 1999). One solution to this problem lies in “Semantic Searches” (Maedche & Staab, 2002). In order for them to work, web resources must first be annotated with additional metadata describing the content (Davies, Studer & Warren., 2006). Therefore, anyone who wants to provide data online must decide on which technology to use.

  • Data Models for Home Services
    __________________________________________PROCEEDING OF THE 13TH CONFERENCE OF FRUCT ASSOCIATION Data Models for Home Services Vadym Kramar, Markku Korhonen, Yury Sergeev Oulu University of Applied Sciences, School of Engineering Raahe, Finland {vadym.kramar, markku.korhonen, yury.sergeev}@oamk.fi Abstract An ultimate penetration of communication technologies allowing web access has enriched a conception of smart homes with new paradigms of home services. Modern home services range far beyond such notions as Home Automation or Use of Internet. The services expose their ubiquitous nature by being integrated into smart environments, and provisioned through a variety of end-user devices. Computational intelligence require a use of knowledge technologies, and within a given domain, such requirement as a compliance with modern web architecture is essential. This is where Semantic Web technologies excel. A given work presents an overview of important terms, vocabularies, and data models that may be utilised in data and knowledge engineering with respect to home services. Index Terms: Context, Data engineering, Data models, Knowledge engineering, Semantic Web, Smart homes, Ubiquitous computing. I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, a use of Semantic Web technologies to build a giant information space has shown certain benefits. Rapid development of Web 3.0 and a use of its principle in web applications is the best evidence of such benefits. A traditional database design in still and will be widely used in web applications. One of the most important reason for that is a vast number of databases developed over years and used in a variety of applications varying from simple web services to enterprise portals. In accordance to Forrester Research though a growing number of document, or knowledge bases, such as NoSQL is not a hype anymore [1].

  • Open and Linked Data
    Presentation Topic 11: Open and linked data Group K: Giles Howard Jacob Kittley-Davies S. Mahmoud Miri Velizar Velkov Vlad Velici Henry Wilkes Marcus Ojerinde-Ardalla Tutor: Tim Chown Jacob Kittley- Marcus Mahmoud Miri Henry Wilkes Davies Ojerinde-Ardalla Velizar Velkov Vlad Velici Giles Howard What is Linked Open Data? Introduction ● Linked and Open Data -Two related concepts that are increasingly important in our data centric society. ● Our aim of this presentation is to explain what Open data and Linked Data are, and examine their implementations. ● Also, we will examine arguments for and against open data, and put our own argument forward for it. Definitions (Open Data) ● “Open data is data that can be freely used, reused and redistributed by anyone - subject only, at most, to the requirement to attribute and sharealike.” [1] ● Open data is not a specific implementation or method of accessing data – instead, it is an idea of exactly how it should be used and redistributed. Definitions (Linked Data) ● "The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data on the web. It is about making links, so that a person or machine can explore the web of data. With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other, related, data. "[2] ● Linked Data is a specific implementation of data, which aims to make it more useful by making it easier for a user to quickly access more relevant data. Background ● Open Data - A general movement towards greater and easier data access, important for academic study and scientific research (Mertonian science) ●

  • Agritourism Farms-Evaluation of Their Websites Quality and Web
    Agris on-line Papers in Economics and Informatics Volume V Number 1, 2013 Agritourism Farms - Evaluation of Their Websites Quality and Web 2.0 Z. Havlíček, V. Lohr, M. Šmejkalová, J. Grosz, P. Benda Faculty of Economics and management, Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic Anotace Na základě porovnání výsledků z dotazníkových šetření z let 2009 a 2012 bylo zjištěno, že kvalita www prezentací agroturistických farem se téměř nemění. Kvalita stránek u stejných farem je statisticky vyšší pouze u kritéria “Obsah – struktura” www stránek. Lze usuzovat, že v roce 2012 farmáři věnovali větší pozornost struktuře informací, které prezentují na vlastních stránkách. Farmy, které mají vlastní doménové jméno, vykazují statisticky významně vyšší kvalitu www prezentací. Obecně lze říci, že prezentace agroturistických farem málo využívají nové přístupy v internetových technologiích. Proto byl navržen postup jak inovovat méně kvalitní www prezentace pomocí WCMS WordPress. Je doporučováno více využívat technologie Web 2.0, například pomocí mashup technologií integrovat do webových prezentací související informační zdroje (odkazy na sociální sítě, propojení s počasím nebo zdrojem RSS v daném regionu). Klíčová slova Agroturistika, kvalita website, SEO, Web 2.0, WordPress. Abstract Based on surveys carried out in 2009 and 2012 it can be suggested that the web presentations of agritourism farms are virtually unchanged. The quality of the web pages for the same farms is statistically higher only for the criterion of “Content – structure” of websites. It can be assumed that in 2012 farmers devoted more attention to the structure of information that is presented on their own websites. Farms that have their own domain name show statistically significantly higher quality websites.
