This paper discusses case studies of large-scale digitization for historical resources in Japan. The National Museum of Japanese History (NMJH) has started to establish its core research project “Constructing Integrated Studies of Cultural and Research Resources” using digital technology. This project offers a unique insight into a variety of studies and Japanese historical resources through multidisciplinary...
Linked Data provides a natural platform for taxonomy management, and when used in concert with the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) for accessing graphical image resources, provides an architecture that is suited to an image annotation application. The combination of Linked Data and IIIF specifications can be used to develop extensible discovery tools based on the Semantic Web...
Nowadays, open data has become more and more popular and is widely used in a variety of service domains. However, in Taiwan, most open datasets are still separate while linked open data (LOD) is still lacking. Without LOD, application developers are difficult to locate and combine appropriate open datasets to create innovative applications. Therefore, to facilitate the consumption and the spreading...
The web plays a crucial role in our daily life. Its openness allows users to access data around the clock. Recently, data has become more exploitable by machines due to the newly introduced mechanism of linked data, which improves the quality of published data on the web dramatically. Therefore, we have attempted to benefit from the investment, regarding data, which already exist on the web, particularly...
Data ambiguity from various sources remains as a complex problem that affects services provided by digital libraries. From the point of view of integration of information from different sources, the challenge of author ambiguity is one of the most important, and there are numerous methods proposed to deal with this issue using different approaches. They generally work for some scenarios but they have...
Collaborative development of large-scale aviation software products across organizational boundaries adds new challenges to existing software engineering processes. In this paper, we propose a novel, linked data approach for handling the diverse software artifacts by adapting features from social network sites. The linked data is introduced into software engineering domain, which connects software...
Linked data is a part of semantic web technology better known as web version 3. Semantic web has a very different concept with previous web version. With semantic web, data can be connected with a special relationship and form meaning. This is done semantic web using the concept of triples and data represented by graphs. The benefit of linked data is the ability to exchange data and provide related...
This paper presents SimiMatch, an element based schema matching approach for semi-structured and Linked Data. It contributes towards a virtual data integration system that is able to provide transparent access to heterogeneous and autonomous sources. SimiMatch addresses the challenge of sustaining the continuous changes of a large-scale web of data through the use of semantic similarity measurement...
In the Linked Data context, identity link is one of the most important semantic links that can be established between the datasets. It specifies that different identifiers refer to the same real world object and therefore must be linked. The process of detecting these identical instances across different data repositories is referred as instance matching. This is used to connect existing data sources...
The biomimetics to adopt a high-performance and high efficiency creature function for a new technology attracts attention. However, it is unknown which creature function helps the development of a new technology because the kinds of the creature are more than 1,500,000. Therefore, we propose an information retrieval system called Bio-TRIZ database by using TRIZ which attracts attention as a problem...
The Sensor Web is evolving into a complex information space, where large volumes of sensor observation data are often consumed by complex applications. Provenance has become an important issue in the Sensor Web, since it allows applications to answer “what”, “when”, “where”, “who”, “why”, and “how” queries related to observations and consumption processes, which helps determine the usability and reliability...
Type information of objects is very valuable in linked data. However, many linked data are incomplete in type information. Traditional research of type inference is able to find missing types by means of reasoning, but it may become invalid in those data with incomplete or incorrect schema. In this paper, we propose a text-classification approach to type prediction in linked data. An Object Graph...
Geospatial fusion provides methods to get the most value from geospatial information. A previous OGC study on geospatial fusion identified recommendations for observation fusion, feature fusion and decision fusion. Many of the recommendations were taken up in OGC Innovation Program and are now present in the OGC Standards baseline. This paper reviews the remaining recommendations from the previous...
The public availability of datasets of teaching resources is an issue for the design, development and evaluation of Information Retrieval and Recommender Systems in Technology Enhanced Learning. Recently, the Dataset of Joint Educational Entities (DAJEE) has provided the community with a very exhaustive collection of resources coming from Massive Open Online Courses. This work proposes a representation...
The application of tool integration in an industrial use case in the context of the CRYSTAL European project is presented. In particular, the development of a connecting application conceived to provide interoperability between two tools used in the Model-Based design and analysis of aircraft systems is described. The main goal behind this activity is allowing different specialists to use several...
Thesauri are knowledge systems which may ease Big Data access, fostering their integration and re-use. Currently several Linked Data thesauri covering multi-disciplines are available. They provide a semantic foundation to effectively support cross-organization and cross-disciplinary management and usage of Big Data. Thesauri effectiveness is affected by their quality. Diverse quality measures are...
The market of the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly, and people will obtain even more benefits from the services that handle the composed IoT devices through cloud services in the future. The World Wide Web Consortium pursues dealing with IoT devices on Web layers, called the Web of things (WoT). Applications can access the functions of things anytime, anywhere by exposing things through...
The biological scientific linked data is large graph that contains billions of triples representing links between massive microorganisms. Now it is challenged by the growing graph size and the costly queries that require massive traversals. This work designs a resilient index graph to model the query pattern. According to given query pattern, it indexes graph traversals between the starting and objective...
This paper describes the ongoing work of the authors in translating two-level system design techniques used in Health Informatics to the Earth Systems Science domain. Health informaticians have developed a sophisticated two-level systems design approach for electronic health documentation over many years, and with the use of archetypes, have shown how knowledge interoperability among heterogenous...
Over the last decade, an exponentially increasing number of REST services have been providing a simple and straightforward syntax for accessing rich data resources. To use these services, however, developers have to understand "information-use contracts" specified in natural language, and, to build applications that benefit from multiple existing services they have to map the underlying...
