Community Health Workers (CHWs) act as liaisons between health-care providers and patients in underserved or un-served areas. However, the lack of information sharing and training support impedes the effectiveness of CHWs and their ability to correctly diagnose patients. In this paper, we propose and describe a system for mobile and wearable computing devices called Rafiki which assists CHWs in decision...
The field of Semantic Web Services (SWS) has been recognized as one of the most promising areas of emergent research within the Semantic Web (SW) initiative, exhibiting an extensive commercial potential, and attracting significant attention from both industry and the research community. Currently, there exist several different frameworks and languages for formally describing a Web Service: OWL-S (Web...
In this paper, we propose a semantic web based solution to implement the Interoperability Framework (IF) for Persistent Identifiers (PI) developed within the context of APARSEN EU project. The IF provides a comprehensive, semantics-aware solution for interoperability of heterogeneous Persistent Identifier systems. Such a solution aims to provide added-value services built on an Interoperability Knowledge...
As the number of Web services dramatically increases, it is becoming more difficult and time consuming for user to find the desired Web services. Collaborative tagging provides a convenient way to annotate shared content by allowing users to use any tags. User tags have proven to be a useful technique to smooth browsing experience in large document collections. Some web service search engines, such...
Balance is very important in all areas from art down to the details of our daily life. There is no exception in research work especially when we want to develop an application which will be used in the real world. Currently more and more semantic Web applications are emerging. Although there are some researches on the evaluation and benchmarking of semantic Web applications, they mainly focused on...
Pervasive environments are composed as spontaneous aggregation of heterogeneous and independent devices, which may seamlessly consume, but also provide, software resources over the network. As result, applications emerge from the dynamic composition of the resources available within the environment. This requires applications of being semantic-aware, to reason about and learn from the environment...
In this paper we discuss a new application of Semantic Web and Artificial Intelligence in software analysis research. We show on a concrete example — clone detection for object-oriented source code that transitivity closure computation can provide added value to the clone detection community. Our novel approach models the domain of discourse knowledge as a mixture of source code patterns and inheritance...
This work falls in the areas of information retrieval and semantic web, and aims to improve the evaluation of web search tools. Indeed, the huge number of information on the web as well as the growth of new inexperienced users creates new challenges for information retrieval; certainly the current search engines (such as Google, Bing and Yahoo) offer an efficient way to browse the web content. However,...
We describe an approach to developing next generation health information portals. This prototype portal was developed to address two complementary goals (1) design and create a site where people can explore potential relationships between selected health-related behaviors, policies, and demographic data (2) explore semantic web technologies and linked data as enabling technologies for next generation...
Department of Defense (DoD) closed architectures and proprietary solutions limit the ability to provide the warfighter gaming, semantic reasoning and social networking capabilities employed by industry and readily available in the open source community. Exorbitant sustainment costs of legacy solutions are unjustifiable and significantly inhibit transition to enhanced solutions. Additionally, legacy...
Modeling co-authorship networks merely in FOAF, as is common with social networks, suffers the inability to capture semantics which are specific to collaboration schemes in the scientific community. For instance, the weight of the co-author relation which expresses the magnitude of that relation between two co-authors is subject to change dynamically as new publications are assigned to the co-authorship...
This paper presents a comprehensive study of the state of the art in Social Networking Analysis and examines the impact of content analysis and the effects of semantics in social networking analysis research. We propose a taxonomy of current approaches, classifying them into the following main categories: 1) graph-theoretic approaches, 2) applications of semantic web technologies and emergent semantics...
Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Web Mining (WM) techniques are being applied to study the structures of social networks in order to manage their dynamics and predict their evolution. This paper describes how we used Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC) ontology to represent the (latent) semantic relationships between the members of a large community forum (about 2,500), Plexilandia...
In this paper we present a framework that extracts meaningful knowledge from microposts shared in social platforms in order to build user profiles. This process involves different steps for the analysis of such microposts (extraction of keywords, named entities and their matching to ontological concepts) and their weighting. The concept weighting involves different scores, such as sentiment analysis...
This paper looks to the semantic web and Web 3.0 technologies as an enabler for the creation of value and new emergent business models. It describes the concept of Web 3.0, its properties and its major differences in relation with previous Web 2.0 concept. Furthermore, the paper proposes eight business models that a company can follow to adopt a successful Web 3.0 business strategy.
Similar Link Network (SiLN) is a semantic over layer on Web resources with similar relations instead of hyperlinks, which aims at providing plentiful semantics for intelligent Web activities. However, SiLN is difficult to be built based on cosine computation in large-scale Web resources due to its high building time complexity and weak connectivity. Herein, three strategies are proposed to address...
Service Semantic Link Network (S-SLN) is the semantic model for effectively managing Web service resources by dependency relationship among services. In this paper, we provided an effective method for automatic discovering S-SLN based on graphical structure representation of the dependencies embedded in probability model. Markov network is an undirected graph whose links represent probability dependencies...
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...
There are more and more xml document, web services, feeds and so on and so forth cheap, network accessible resources to use. As one of the most widely used semantic web project, FOAF (Friend of a Friend) pays more and more attention to FOAF semantic features to analyze users' interest and to recommend to FOAF users recent years. This essay focuses on applying FOAF to a latest online television programs...
Within this paper we introduce a framework for semi- to full-automatic discovery and acquisition of bag-of-words style interest profiles from openly accessible Social Web communities. To do such, we construct a semantic taxonomy search tree from target domain (domain towards which we're acquiring profiles for), starting with generic concepts at root down to specific-level instances at leaves, then...
