The development of semantic web technologies assures a new incentive for researches over software engineering. Although the basic concepts of semantic web have a widespread tradition over engineering sector, it moreover becomes difficult for software engineers to look into the diversity of ontology-provided approaches. A realistic scenario Zoo Management is taken based on which an ontology is generated...
Metadata and ontology share the same objective about a common and integrated repository of data structure and semantic to provide a better information discovery in general or specific domains. This article focus on metadata in BI domain to propose the usage of ontologies and natural language processing to create and explore metadata in data lineage and data discovery.
Domain ontology construction forms the backbone of semantic web technology. This paper presents a hybrid strategy to construct scientific instrument ontology from relational database model. The strategy references both the idea of database schema description ontology (DSDO) and logical database model based ontology construction methods. It shows a higher semantic preservation than related approaches...
This paper presents an approach to apply the principles of Model Driven Architecture (MDA) combined with a semantic model to the creation of E-Government services. As a result, these services will be available as semantic web services that can be searched for meeting the current goal or desire of a citizen. For this approach to be successful it is important that all required artifacts are automatically...
Web services are software components developed to simplify machine-to-machine interaction over the Web. Many researches are targeted towards Web service standardization, and these efforts have significantly contributed towards improving functionality of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). However, there are number of issues yet to be resolved. Among them, one of the major challenges is the standardization...
Today, enterprises consider their produced and existing knowledge a principal capital and seek to collect and maintain this knowledge. Unfortunately, the bulk of the enterprises' implicit knowledge has been gradually faded or neglected, due to lack of necessary attention and suitable saving. In this paper we attempt to present an efficient methodology based on ontology which displays the role of this...
In a context of globalization and internationalization of markets, optimizing physical movement of goods becomes inescapable. To do this, in this paper, we present our contribution to the implementation of a global system of goods traceability in a multimodal transport context. Thus, we propose a new approach for modeling the data needed to cover the entire goods lifecycle. Then, for the sake of integration...
Adaptive hypermedia systems traditionally focus on providing personalized learning services. This feature involves the search for content tailored to a given learner. To accomplish this goal, sophisticated search mechanisms are required, particularly the semantic tools. The goal of this paper is to examine the issue of the semantic web and Learning Objects in Adaptive Hypermedia Systems, to assemble...
Semantic interoperability problems have found their solutions using languages and techniques from the Semantic Web. The proliferation of ontologies and meta-information has improved the understanding of information and the relevance of search engine responses. However, the construction of semantic graphs is a source of numerous errors of interpretation or modeling and scalability remains a major problem...
With the introduction of the SAWSDL W3C recommendation, the possibility of enriching web service interfaces with semantic model references surfaced as a foundation for semantic web services. However, the recommendation says neither what the semantic model should be nor what to do with the actual XML data. In this paper, we exploit our conceptual model for XML data to generate SAWSDL enriched XML schemas,...
Context-aware (CA) systems have demonstrated the provision of a robust solution for personalized information delivery in the current content-rich and dynamic information age we live in. They allow software agents to autonomously interact with users by modeling the user's environment (e.g. profile, location, relevant public information etc.) as dynamically-evolving and interoperable contexts. There...
Since the reusing and arranging of available Web services have been raised, the amount of infrastructure strategies based on Service Oriented architecture (SOA) is increasing. Hence, a rich Semantic Web service description is needed to achieve an automated Web service discovery, composition and invocation. On the other hand, the acceptance of Semantic Web service is still decelerating because of its...
Assigning keywords to articles can be extremely costly. In this paper we propose a new approach to biomedical concept extraction using semantic features of concept graphs to help in automatic labeling of scientific publications. The proposed system extracts key concepts similar to author-provided keywords. We represent full-text documents by graphs and map biomedical terms to predefined ontology concepts...
Current semantic recommender systems aim to exploit the website ontologies to produce valuable web recommendations. However, Web usage knowledge for recommendation is presented separately and differently from the domain ontology, this leads to the complexity of using inconsistent knowledge resources. This paper aims to solve this problem by proposing a novel ontology-style model of Web usage to represent...
Ontology databases in Semantic Grid can grow very large making it more complex and difficult to manage. Sub-ontology extraction in compliance with the user requirements paves the way for sub-ontology reuse in sub-ontology/ontology tailoring. As new developments and discoveries are unleashed, or when sub-ontology will be reused, the need to update the extracted sub-ontology is deemed necessary. In...
Semantic Web Services (SWS) are enriching Web services with machine processable semantics. To be implemented with less effort, SWS can reuse syntactic and semantic descriptions hidden under the source code of Web applications already developed. For this end, we propose a framework for reengineering Web applications, possibly already including some semantic technology, into WSMO-based SWS. The proposed...
The increasing complexity of the information systems must be taking into account for new technologies, and the appearance of new types of requirements raise new problems that the traditional engineering approaches of the information systems cannot always solve in an adapted way. Business Rules constitute a key element of the Semantic Web vision, allowing integration, derivation, and transformation...
In order to incorporate learning processes to the Semantic Web, it is essential to count on mechanisms for semantic definition of learning material that guarantee material interchange and reuse. This paper presents the development of an ontology that formalizes description of learning resources according to the IEEE Standard for Learning Object Metadata. This ontology adds the conceptual structure...
Web services represent a step forward in enabling collaborations between various entities on the web and in overcoming the interoperability problems that may appear. This study proposes an adaptive fuzzy detector to detect the R peak correctly. This paper describes the various auction processes that could be entered into and, as an illustrative example, it describes how web services execution environment...
The unified documentation of models and their relations, which vary greatly concerning the description view, the abstraction level, the language used and the purpose for which they have been built, is still challenging. The knowledge about the relations, which exist between models is usually not captured in a systematic way and hence cannot be searched and reused across different projects and stakeholders...
