    • notitio.us - Semantic Information Discovery, Browsing and Sharing 

      Gzella, Adam; Kruk, Sebastian Ryszard (2007)
      Searching for information on the Internet became much easier when Google started delivering their service. We got used to getting the most important (probably) results on the top of the list. But more and more ...
    • Towards Constraint-Based Composition With Incomplete Service Descriptions 

      Moran, Matthew; Vitvar, Tomas; Zaremba, Maciej (IEEE, 2007)
      We apply our work on Web service discovery with initially incomplete information to the problem of service com- position. Rich semantic descriptions of Goals and Web ser- vices allow the unambiguous specification of ...

      This paper overviews and compares the DERI and DEI-Cefriel approaches to the SWS-Challenge workshop mediation scenario in terms of the utilized underlying technologies and delivered solutions. In the mediation scenario one ...
    • Imprecise Empirical Ontology Refinement: Application to Taxonomy Acquisition 

      Nováček, Vít (INSTICC, 2007)
      The significance of uncertainty representation has become obvious in the Semantic Web community recently. This paper presents new results of our research on uncertainty incorporation into ontologies created automatically ...
    • SPARQL++ for mapping between RDF vocabularies 

      Polleres, Axel (Springer, 2007)
      Lightweight ontologies in the formof RDF vocabularies such as SIOC, FOAF, vCard, etc. are increasingly being used and exported by ¿serious¿ applications recently. Such vocabularies, together with query languages like SPARQL ...
    • UniStore: Querying a DHT-based Universal Storage 

      Karnstedt, Marcel; Hauswirth, Manfred (2007)
      In recent time, the idea of collecting and combining large public data sets and services became more and more popular. The special characteristics of such systems and the requirements of the participants demand for ...
    • Examination of the Impact of Emerging Technologies on eLearning 

      McDaniel, Bill; Kruk, Sebastian Ryszard (Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education, 2007)
      eLearning has, to date, mostly been a matter of content being displayed on PCs running Windows, Linux, or MAC OS. Emerging technologies have recently, however, expanded the capabilities and scope of portable and mobile ...
    • Quantified equilibrium logic and hybrid rules 

      Polleres, Axel (Springer, 2007)
      In the ongoing discussion about combining rules and Ontologies on the Semantic Web a recurring issue is how to combine first-order classical logic with nonmonotonic rule languages. Whereas several modular approaches to de- ...
    • Sharing information across community portals with FOAFRealm 

      Breslin, John; Grzonkowski, Slawomir; Gzella, Adam; Kruk, Sebastian Ryszard; Woroniecki, Tomasz (IADIS Press, 2007)
    • Towards Optimized Data Fetching for Service Discovery 

      Zaremba, Maciej; Vitvar, Tomas; Moran, Matthew (IEEE, 2007)
      The advent of Service Oriented Architecture makes services the most flexible, platform-independent choice for exposing and integrating business functionality across a network. However, the lack of service discovery mechanisms, ...
    • Extending Community Ontology Using Automatically Generated Suggestions 

      Nováček, Vít; Dabrowski, Maciej; Kruk, Sebastian Ryszard; Handschuh, Siegfried (AAAI Press, 2007)
      In this paper we propose an ontology (formal knowledge base) creation methodology based on integrating external ontologies into the one developed by a community of the do- main experts. We present the MarcOntX agent, a ...
    • A Protégé Plug-in Development to Support the NEPOMUK Representational Language 

      Caires, Milena; Scerri, Simon; Handschuh, Siegfried (2007)
      In this document, we present the challenges faced to develop a plug-in for Protégé that supports requirements for the NEPOMUK1 Representational Language (NRL). NRL is a language built on top of RDF/S and ...
    • A DRM Solution Based on Social Networks and Enabling the Idea of Fair Use 

      Grzonkowski, Slawomir; Ensor, Brian; Kruk, Sebastian Ryszard; Gzella, Adam; Decker, Stefan; McDaniel, Bill (2007)
      Fair use policy allows legal owners to share products they bought with their acquaintance; it is based on the assumptions that the owners pass an original product and they cannot use it at the same time. In the digital ...
