      Hasnain, Syed Muhammad Ali (2017-05-12)
      During recent years the increasing adoption of Open Data Initiatives and Lined Data principles have lead to the creation of a globally distributed space of Linked Data that covers various domains such as Government, ...
    • DAW: Duplicate-AWare Federated Query Processing over the Web of Data 

      Parreira, Josiane Xavier; Deus, Helena F.; Hauswirth, Manfred (Springer, 2013)
      Over the last years the Web of Data has developed into a large compendium of interlinked data sets from multiple domains. Due to the decentralised architecture of this compendium, several of these datasets contain duplicated ...
    • Evaluating and benchmarking the performance of federated SPARQL endpoints and their partitioning using selected metrics and specific query types 

      Rakhmawati, Nur Aini (2017-02-07)
      The increasing amount of Linked Data and its inherent distributed nature have created for need to developing and researching querying technologies. Inspired by research results from traditional distributed databases, ...
    • An evaluation of SPARQL federation engines over multiple endpoints 

      Saleem, Muhammad; Khan, Yasar; Hasnain, Ali; Ermilov, Ivan; Ngonga Ngomo, Axel-Cyrille (NUI Galway, 2018-04-23)
      Due to decentralized and linked architecture underlying Linking Data, running complex queries often require collecting data from multiple RDF datasets. The optimization of the runtime of such queries, called federated ...
    • A Hybrid Framework for Querying Linked Data Dynamically 

      Umbrich, Jürgen (2012-09-28)
      As of today, the Web has evolved to become the largest collection of information made available by mankind. Researchers and developers are continuously working on transforming this loosely connected data collection into ...
    • A hybrid method for rating prediction using linked data features and text reviews 

      Yumusak, Semih; Muñoz, Emir; Minervini, Pasquale; Dogdu, Erdogan; Kodaz, Halife (CEUR-WS.org, 2016)
      This paper describes our entry for the Linked Data Mining Challenge 2016, which poses the problem of classifying music albums as good or bad by mining Linked Data. The original labels are assigned according to aggregated ...
    • LargeRDFBench: A billion triples benchmark for SPARQL endpoint federation 

      Saleem, Muhammad; Hasnain, Ali; Ngonga Ngomo, Axel-Cyrille (Elsevier, 2018-01-12)
      Gathering information from the distributed Web of Data is commonly carried out by using SPARQL query federation approaches. However, the fitness of current SPARQL query federation approaches for real applications is difficult ...
    • Linked data with access control 

      Kirrane, Sabrina (2015-01-29)
      The explosion of digital content and the heterogeneity of enterprise content sources have pushed existing data integration solutions to their boundaries. An alternative solution is to use the Resource Description Framework ...
    • One size does not fit all: querying web polystores 

      Khan, Yasar; Zimmermann, Antoine; Jha, Alokkumar; Gadepally, Vijay; d'Aquin, Mathieu; Sahay, Ratnesh (IEEE, 2019-01-17)
      Data retrieval systems are facing a paradigm shift due to the proliferation of specialized data storage engines (SQL, NoSQL, Column Stores, MapReduce, Data Stream, and Graph) supported by varied data models (CSV, JSON, ...
