Health related Question Answering (QA) systems have proven to be useful to patients. However, most of the QA systems focus on improving system performance against a standard set of questions, but neglect the problem of designing effective user interfaces. We build a health QA with enhanced user interface which includes three formats – single answer, list of fragments and combination of fragments....
Nowadays, people use on-line services to conduct various tasks such as on-line shopping and holiday trip planning using web applications. Generally users are required to enter information into web forms to interact with the web applications. However they often have to type in the same information to different web applications repetitively. It could be a tedious job for a user to fill in a large amount...
We propose a novel T-commerce model based on semantic interaction, as the TV broadcasting environment is moving to interactive digital TV such as IPTV, Hybrid TV, and Smart TV. The purpose of our work is to design and implement the system of our new T-commerce model. Thus, our system applies spatial relation rules and ontology for object recognition if a viewer is interested in one on the screen of...
Firstly, the significance of EMR sharing and interchanging in the Internet environment is introduced. Then, the method to realize multi-source heterogeneous EMR systems' integration and data sharing is proposed with grid middleware technology. To establish the mapping mechanism from ontology to data source, the ontology modeling technology which generates ontology database of medical information is...
This paper describes the application of several network analysis techniques to the networks of users in audio clip sharing sites. Two kinds of networks are described: one based on the file downloading activity, and the other based on semantic similarity in the use of free tags to annotate sounds. The properties of these networks as well as their community structure are analyzed using data from Free...
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to extending the Internet to devices such as home appliances, consumer electronics, and sensor networks. As multiple heterogeneous devices attempt to create area networks, one of the major challenges is the interoperability and composability of their services. The traditional way to address interoperability is to define standards; however, there are many standards...
The social network of the Internet is interpreted as the consequences of invisible connection between humans. In the graph based studies the nodes are human beings and the edges represent various social relationships. SLN is a loosely coupled, self-organized semantic data model that link resources semantically. The interactions among users can be interpreted via SLN formation and evolution The interactive...
Personalized recommendation is hot issue in information management system nowadays. With the technology, it can improve the QOS of information service. In this paper, we present a new user profile model based on semantic meta-model of digital resource, using implicit feedback, the users' profiles can be adjusted in time. Comparing the 'like' query in the standard SQL in relational databases, which...
The paper details the modeling and processing of a semantic behavior repository for Web users/customers in the context of an application model that involves the capturing of eye tracking during the user-interface interaction, AJAX-style communication between the client and the server, and the conversion of user attention maps to convenient data structures. Due to the problem complexity, the client-side...
We introduce a multi-level window operator that concurrently spans temporal extents of increasing granularity over a streaming dataset. This windowing construct is inherently sliding with time, essentially providing at each granularity a varying, but always finite portion of the most recent stream items. After a careful algebraic formulation of its semantics, we investigate interesting properties...
In the recent years more and more people have begun to edit video files, as technologies are becoming more sophisticated and affordable. Web 2.0 has raised tagging functionality to a growing number of websites such as Flickr and YouTube. However, these services only provide basic video annotation support. In comparison to those well-known services there are many research efforts towards video semantization...
Widget aggregators such as iGoogle and Netvibes are broadly adopted by the mass market. They enable end-users to personalize their environment with their preferred services (Widgets). However, the usage in an enterprise context is not yet investigated. In this paper, we firstly show that in addition to personalization capability, the integration of business processes should be considered. Secondly,...
Extensible Personal Learning Environments (PLEs) and Cloud Learning Environments (CLEs) that facilitate the lone or collaborative study of user-chosen blends of content and courses from heterogeneous sources, including Open Educational Resources (OERs), are gradually gaining ground in the landscape of distance learning. In this paper, we examine the use of ontologies for modelling and supporting learner...
Ontology-Based Deep Web Interface Schema Integration (OBDIS) uses two levels structure to establish matching relationships and eliminate semantic heterogeneity among concepts and terms of Database schemas on the Web, coupled with the assistance from domain ontology and form ontologies, in which the former is used to describe the domain knowledge and provide the sharing vocabulary base, and the latter...
As Deep Web contains tremendous well-structured data sources, how to integrate data sources in Deep Web has become a hotspot in current research. Accurately discovering and identifying Deep Web data sources related to a specific domain become key issues. We propose a Domain-Oriented Deep Web data source Discovery method (DO-DWD) and a novel Domain Identification strategy of Deep Web data sources (DIDW)...
The semantic integration of heterogeneous information sources across the enterprise together with product information available from the Internet of Things will be so vast, that one of the main challenges will be to provide the right information, at the right time, in the right place, and to the right people. This objective is addressed by the Aletheia - a project targeting the development of a distributed...
The Web offers autonomous and frequently useful resources in growing manner. User Generated Content (UGC) like Wikis, Weblogs or Webfeeds often do not have one responsible authorship or declared experts who checked the created content for e.g. accuracy, availability, objectivity or reputation. The user is not able easily, to control the quality of the content he receives. If we want to utilize the...
Remote control over the internet is generating significant research interest, of which a major research challenge is the generation of Web User Interface (WUI) according to individual user's specific requirements, for example different users have an interest in monitoring and controlling different machines. Furthermore, the same user may also be interested in different machines in different sessions...
The paper presents WordnetLoom - a new version of an application supporting the development of the Polish wordnet called plWordNet. The primary user interface of WordnetLoom is a graph-based, graphical, active presentation of wordnet structure. Linguist can directly work on the structure of synsets linked by relation links. The new version is compared with the previous one in order to show the lines...
Distributed simulations are mainly used to interoperate heterogeneous simulators or geographically distributed models. We present here RESTful-CD++, the first distributed simulation middleware based on REST (Representational State Transfer) Web-services. RESTful-CD++ middleware enables heterogeneous independent-developed simulation components to interoperate with much flexibility and simplicity. REST...
