Argumentative discussions are common in Web 2.0 applications, but the social Web still offers limited or no explicit support for argumentation. As Web 2.0 applications become more popular, modeling argumentation happening ...

The inner ear is physically inaccessible in living humans, which leads to unique difficulties in studying its normal function and pathology as in other human organs. Recently, biosimulation model has gained a significant ...

Motivation Searching for precise terms and terminological definitions in the biomedical data space is problematic, as researchers find overlapping, closely related and even equivalent concepts in a single or multiple ...

Data workflow systems (DWFSs) enable bioinformatics researchers to combine components for data access and data analytics, and to share the final data analytics approach with their collaborators. Increasingly, such systems ...

The understanding of variations in genome sequences assists us in identifying people who are predisposed to common diseases, solving rare diseases, and finding corresponding population group of the individuals from a ...

While machine processable Controlled Natural Languages (CNLs) as a natural language interface have proven a popular, unambiguous and user friendly method for non experts to engineer formal knowledge-bases, human-oriented ...

Knowledge base creation and population are an essential formal backbone for a variety of intelligent applications, decision support and expert systems and intelligent search. While the abundance of unstructured text helps ...

In this chapter, we first perform an empirical survey of RDF-based applications over most of the past decade, from 2003 to 2009. As the Linked Data principles where introduced in 2006, this allows us to describe the current ...

Multiple datasets that add high value to biomedical research have been exposed on the web as a part of the Life Sciences Linked Open Data (LSLOD) Cloud. The ability to easily navigate through these datasets is crucial for ...
