This paper addresses the problem of integrating ontological knowledge bases into complex software applications by proposing a library for exposing ontology access and manipulation as web services. The proposed framework is an extension of our previous work, the M2O framework, and enhances it by integrating reasoning techniques and generating a web services layer for performing basic CRUD operations...
We present an architecture for a Personal Health Recommender System (PHRS) that begins with a person's personal electronic health record (PEHR) and augments it by combining crowdsourced data mined for symptoms, diseases, treatments and best practices, together with authoritative sources and curated domain ontologies. This novel approach is patient-centric in that the PEHR contains the patient's health...
Kuwait is aspiring to be amongst the top countries in the world in the provision of healthcare services to its people. To do this, issues surrounding information availability, data security, and data privacy must be addressed. Hospitals struggle with providing access to (possibly sensitive and critical) data at the right levels, at the right time, while ensuring seamless service. In this paper, we...
With the increasing number of mobile devices, there have been many researches on searching and managing a large volume of mobile data. Most of the mobile platforms today provide users with keyword-based full text search (FTS) in order to search for mobile data. Recently, voice search interfaces have been deployed. These search methods, however, query only the keywords given as an input to local databases...
This paper reports our research on utilizing discernibility matrix method of Rough Set (RS) theory to improve the OGC web services (OWSs) semantic search. Based on RS theory, we build a description vocabulary reduction model involving attributes and spatial relation for OWSs and implement knowledge reduction on Geographic Information Service (GISe) instance-database. Also, the semantic reasoning framework...
Semantic Web technologies can be utilized to keep patients informed on the latest research on chronic diseases such as diabetes, by gathering online information published by both government and corporate sources. To assemble our Intelligent Health Information System, we created an ontology of terms related to diabetes. Then we leveraged an open-source API to read the ontology into a graphical application,...
The widespread use of SOA (Service-oriented architecture) is making Web services, which now is used more frequently to manage interfaces and resources, more popular. The new value-added services, generated by Web service composition, provide more powerful and flexible features. It's a big challenge to manage these increasing services efficiently for providing a convenient developing environment, which...
As the key point of the ontology research field, concept similarity computation has been widely used in the automatic question-answering systems. This paper firstly analyzes the existing concept similarity computation algorithm which is based on the semantic distance, and then proposes a new computation algorithm formula by modifying and adding some factors which can affect the accuracy of concept...
In our work we describe an approach for automated and approximate evaluation of character based answers in computer-based tests. Cloze exercises (‘fill-in-the-blank’) are error-prone to a variety of potential error sources and are subject to syntactic and semantic ambiguities. Our approach combines string similarity measurements with semantic word analysis to render this type of computer-based exercise...
Web service schema matching is the preliminary phase of service composition and service Mashup. With the entry of large numbers of services on the Internet, it will be difficult to find and suggest the most relevant service candidates for new composition and Mashup. Furthermore, the composition and Mashup candidates must be confirmed by manual work which is very inefficient and even inefficacious...
Sensor networks are often deployed with the purpose of providing data to large-scale information management and GIS systems, or to collect measurements for specific scientific experiments. The benefits of such use are clear and widely accepted. The reuse of observations in low-cost, lightweight, web applications and mashups is a further compelling use case for sensor networks, but requires provision...
This paper presents a new system to automatically recognize fishes based their digital pictures. The system follows the requirement of SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) in order to provide a self-service platform for public. The system provides services like the training mode, the recognition mode, and the consulting mode. These services can be deployed onto various application servers at different...
Web Service is becoming the next generation of web-based application. With enhancement of quality of services and increasing quantity of services, how to recommend the suitable services according to personalized requirement becomes an urgent question. In the existing approaches of service recommendation, the result of service recommendation is the service list in which there is no evaluation standard...
As the number of available web services published in registries and on web sites increases, web service discovery becomes a challenging task. One solution to the problem is to use distributed web service search system composed of domain specific sub service discoverers. Using ontology is the most common practice to specify domain knowledge. However, an important problem at this point is the lack of...
Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD), as any scientific experimentation in e-Science, is a complex and computationally intensive process aimed at gaining knowledge from a huge set of data. Often performed in distributed settings, a KDD project usually involves a deep interaction between tools and several users with specific expertise, which can be either a co-located group or a geographically distributed...
Aiming to discover the most suitable service cater to the discovery request of service consumer which includes functional requirements and nonfunctional requirements, this paper proposes a service registry model named as SRC (Service Registry on Cloud) which is an extension of the keywords based service registry model and deployed as a cloud application to provide behavior-aware and QoS-aware service...
With the rapid development of computer technologies and medical industries, the sharing and exchanging of medical information has become increasingly important. A framework for integrating heterogeneous, diverse and various medical information systems based on Health Level 7(HL7), ontology and Web services is proposed in this paper. In the paper, we describe the framework architecture, module function,...
Today, Internet is a huge database which comprises of a large number of Web sites, search engines and other information. Due to the unstructured and semi structured data in the web pages, it is a challenging task for researchers to make a relevant and efficient search in warehouse of such type of database. Ontology may be a good mechanism for achieving this goal and Web Mining technique may be used...
In the converged network environment, owing to diversification of user demand and diversification of services, the existing semantic service discovery algorithms almost have the problem of too long service response time. With respect to this current situation, this paper proposes a novel services semantic web service discovery method based on user preference cluster. Firstly, this paper optimizes...
Nowadays, with the rapid development of Web services technologies as a solution to achieve SOA, the number of Web services on the web that offer similar functions is increasing. Therefore, not only the discovery and selection of the best Web services based on functional property requirements and preferences of users is not sufficient, but also owning to improve and achieve more accurate results, the...
