Doctoral Thesis December 2018 University of Passau Faculty of Computer Science and Mathematics Chair of Distributed Informations Systems Emanuel Berndl: Embedding a Multimedia Metadata Model into a Workflow- Driven Environment Using Idiomatic Semantic Web Technologies, © De- cember 2018 In many ways, people growing up with the Web and now the Semantic Web take the power at their fingertips for granted. — Tim Berners-Lee, 2005 ABSTRACT The Semantic Web exists for about 20 years by now, but its appli- cability as well as its presence does not live up to the standards of its original idea. Incorporated Semantic Web Technologies do have an initial barrier to learn and apply, which can discourage many po- tential users. This leads to less available data overall in addition to decreased data quality. This work solves parts of the aforementioned problem by support- ing idiomatic entry to those Semantic Web Technologies, allowing for "easier" accessibility and usability. Anno4j is a Java library that im- plements a form of Object-Relational Mapping for RDF data. With its application, RDF data can be created via a mapping by simply instan- tiating Java objects - an object-oriented programming concept the user is familiar with. On the other side, requesting persisted data is sup- ported by a path-based querying possibility, while other features like transactional behaviour, code generation, and automated validation of input contribute to a more effective, comprehensive, and straight- forward usage. A use-case is provided by the MICO Platform, a centralised soft- ware instance that connects autonomous multimedia extractors in a workflow-driven fashion. This leads to a rich metadata background for the inserted multimedia files, enabling them to be used in diverse scenarios as well as unlocking yet hidden semantics. For this task it was necessary to design and implement a metadata model that is able to aggregate and merge the varying extractor results under a common “headline”: the MICO Metadata Model. The results of this work allow the use case to incorporate idiomatic Semantic Web Technologies which are then usable natively by non- Semantic Web experts. Additionally, an increase has been achieved in forms of data integration, synchronisation, integrity and validity, as well as an overall more comprehensive and rich implementation of the multimedia extractors. vii ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Das Semantic Web existiert nun seit rund 20 Jahren, jedoch ist des- sen Anwendbarkeit und Präsenz nicht auf dem Stand, der in der ur- sprünglichen Idee angestrebt wurde. Die verwendeten semantischen Technologien besitzen eine Einstiegshürde die potenzielle Nutzer ab- schrecken kann. Dies führt sowohl zu weniger verfügbaren Daten so- wie einer schlechteren Datenqualität. Diese Arbeit löst einen Teil dieses Problems, indem diese Technolo- gien ëinfacheränwendbar für den Benutzer gemacht werden. Anno4j ist eine Java Bibliothek die eine Form einer objektrelationalen Ab- bildung für RDF Daten umsetzt. Dadurch können RDF Daten über ein Mapping erstellt werden, indem lediglich einfache Java Objekte erstellt werden müssen - ein objektorientiertes Konzept das dem Be- nutzer bekannt ist. Eine Abfrage der Daten wird durch Pfad-basiertes Querying vereinfacht, während andere Eigenschaften wie transaktio- nales Verhalten, Code-Generierung und automatisierte Validierung weitere Beiträge zur effektiveren, umfassenderen und unkomplizier- teren Benutzung liefern. Den Anwendungsfall stellt die MICO Platform dar, eine zentrale Softwareinstanz die über Workflow-orientierte Arbeitsweise autono- me Multimedia Extraktoren miteinander verbindet, um eingegebene Multimediainhalte auf ihren Metadatenhintergrund zu untersuchen. Dies erlaubt die Inhalte in einem breiterem Spektrum sowie eventuell unvorhergesehenen Szenarien zu erschließen. Ein eigens entwickeltes RDF Metadatenmodell, das MICO Metadata Model, bildet dafür ein uniformes Datenformat, um alle erstellten Ergebnisse unter einen ge- meinsamen Hut zu bringen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit ermöglichen in diesem Anwendungs- fall eine Vereinfachung der semantischen Technologien für Semantic Web-fremde Benutzer, eine Verbesserung in Form von Datenintegra- tion, Synchronisation und Integrität, sowie eine funktional reichere Implementierung der Multimediaextraktoren. viii CONTENTS i preface1 1 the semantic web3 1.1 The Vision and Idea of the Semantic Web 4 1.1.1 A Semantic Web Use Case 4 1.1.2 A Look at the Current State of the Semantic Web 7 1.1.3 Open Issues of the Semantic Web 9 1.1.4 The Semantic Gap -

Special thanks goes out to Dr. Sebastiano Panichella for his instructions, guidance and help during the making of this thesis, without whom this would not have been possible. I would also like to express my gratitude to Dr. Fabio Polomba, Dr. Yann-Gaël Guéhéneuc and Dr. Nikolaos Tsantalis for providing me access to their research and always being available for questions. Last, but not least, do I want to thank my parents, sisters and nephews for the support and love they’ve given all those years. Abstract With the importance of software in today’s society, malfunctioning software can not only lead to disrupting our day-to-day lives, but also large monetary damages. A lot of time and effort goes into the development of test suites to ensure the quality and accuracy of software. But how do we elevate the quality of test code? This thesis presents TestSmellDescriber, a tool with the ability to generate descriptions detailing potential problems in test cases, which are collected by conducting a Test Smell analysis.

    ASSIGNMENT OF MASTER’S THESIS Title: Linked Data Notifications and ActivityPub Client and Server Student: Bc. Antonín Karola Supervisor: RNDr. Jakub Klímek, Ph.D. Study Programme: Informatics Study Branch: Web and Software Engineering Department: Department of Software Engineering Validity: Until the end of summer semester 2019/20 Instructions The student will get familiar with Linked Data, the RDF data model, the recent W3C Recommendations [1][2][3] and the Solid project [4], a recent activity of the inventor of the Web, Sir Tim Berners-Lee. The student will implement a client and a server supporting decentralized messaging on the Web according to the Linked Data Notifications [2] and ActivityPub [3] W3C Recommendations in support of the Web re- decentralization. The client part will be a new, user friendly messaging application. Based on the analysis of existing Solid server implementations, the student will determine what is missing in the existing implementations for the given task. The missing features will be implemented either as a new Solid server, or an existing implementation will be enhanced. The client and the server will be documented, evaluated, tested and published as open-source on GitHub. The tests will consist of unit tests and tests of compatibility with existing tools implementing the Recommendations.

    A Geosparql Compliance Benchmark Which Aims to Measure the Extent to Which an RDF Triplestore Complies with the Requirements Specified in the Geosparql Standard

    AGEOSPARQL COMPLIANCE BENCHMARK APREPRINT Milos Jovanovik Timo Homburg Ss. Cyril and Methodius Univesity in Skopje, N. Macedonia Mainz University Of Applied Sciences, Germany OpenLink Software, London, UK [email protected] [email protected] Mirko Spasic´ University of Belgrade, Serbia OpenLink Software, London, UK [email protected] February 12, 2021 ABSTRACT We propose a series of tests that check for the compliance of RDF triplestores with the GeoSPARQL standard. The purpose of the benchmark is to test how many of the requirements outlined in the standard a tested system supports and to push triplestores forward in achieving a full GeoSPARQL compliance. This topic is of concern because the support of GeoSPARQL varies greatly between different triplestore implementations, and such support is of great importance for the domain of geospatial RDF data. Additionally, we present a comprehensive comparison of triplestores, providing an insight into their current GeoSPARQL support. Keywords GeoSPARQL · Benchmarking · RDF · SPARQL 1 Introduction The geospatial Semantic Web [1] as part of the Semantic Web [2] represents an ever-growing semantically interpreted wealth of geospatial information. The initial research [3] and the subsequent introduction of the OGC GeoSPARQL standard [4] formalized geospatial vector data representations (WKT [5] and GML [6]) in ontologies, and extended the SPARQL query language [7] with support for spatial relation operators. arXiv:2102.06139v1 [cs.DB] 11 Feb 2021 Several RDF storage solutions have since adopted GeoSPARQL to various extents as features of their triplestore implementations [8, 9]. These varying levels of implementation may lead to some false assumptions of users when choosing an appropriate triplestore implementation for their project.
