    • Cataloguing and Linking Life Sciences LOD 

      Hasnain, Ali; Fox, Ronan; Deus, Helena F.; Decker, Stefan (2012)
      The Life Sciences Linked Open Data (LSLOD) Cloud is currently comprised of multiple datasets that add high value to biomedical research. The ability to navigate through these datasets in order to derive and discover new ...
    • 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 ...
    • 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 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 ...
    • 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, ...
    • Querying over Federated SPARQL Endpoints - A State of the Art Survey 

      Rakhmawati, Nur; Umbrich, Jürgen; Karnstedt, Marcel; Hasnain, Ali; Hausenblas, Michael (2013)
      The increasing amount of Linked Data and its inherent distributed nature have attracted significant attention throughout the research community and amongst practitioners to search data, in the past years. Inspired by ...
    • A Roadmap for navigating the Life Sciences Linked Open Data Cloud 

      Hasnain, Ali; Sana e Zainab, Syeda; Kamdar, Maulik; Mehmood, Qaiser; Deus, Helena; Mehdi, Muntazir; Decker, Stefan (2014)
      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 ...
    • S3QL: A distributed domain specific language for controlled semantic integration of life sciences data 

      Deus, Helena (2011)
      Background The value and usefulness of data increases when it is explicitly interlinked with related data. This is the core principle of Linked Data. For life sciences researchers, harnessing the power of Linked Data ...
    • SPORTAL: Profiling the Content of Public SPARQL Endpoints 

      Hasnain, Ali; Mehmood, Qaiser; Sana e Zainab, Syeda; Hogan, Aidan (IGI Global, 2016)
      Access to hundreds of knowledge bases has been made available on the Web through public SPARQL endpoints. Unfortunately, few endpoints publish descriptions of their content (e.g., using VoID). It is thus unclear how agents ...
    • SPORTAL: Searching for Public SPARQL Endpoints 

      Hasnain, Ali; Mehmood, Qaiser; Zainab, Syeda Sana e; Hogan, Aidan (NUI Galway, 2016-10)
      There are hundreds of SPARQL endpoints on the Web, but finding an endpoint relevant to a client s needs is difficult: each endpoint acts like a black box, often without a description of its content. Herein we briefly ...
    • TopFed: TCGA tailored federated query processing and linking to LOD 

      Padmanabhuni, Shanmukha S.; Iqbal, Aftab; Decker, Stefan (BioMed Central, 2014-12-03)
      Backgroud: The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional effort to catalogue genetic mutations responsible for cancer using genome analysis techniques. One of the aims of this project is to ...
