    • Performing Object Consolidation on the Semantic Web Data Graph 

      Hogan, Aidan; Harth, Andreas; Decker, Stefan (2007)
      An important aspect of Semantic Web technologies is the issue of identity and uniquely identifying resources, which is essential for integrating data across sources. Currently, there is poor agreement on the use of ...

    • ReConRank: A Scalable Ranking Method for Semantic Web Data with Context 

      Hogan, Aidan; Harth, Andreas; Decker, Stefan (2006)
      We present an approach that adapts the well-known PageRank/HITS algorithms to Semantic Web data. Our method combines ranks from the RDF graph with ranks from the context graph, i.e. data sources and their linkage. We present ...

    • Semantic Social Collaborative Filtering with FOAFRealm 

      Kruk, Sebastian Ryszard; Decker, Stefan (2005)
      The most popular collaborative filtering implementations require either a critical mass of referenced resources and a lot of active users. Other solutions are based on finding a referral with an expertise on the given ...

      Harth, Andreas; Hogan, Aidan; Umbrich, Jürgen; Decker, Stefan (2008)
      Web search engines are immensely useful for locating documents online. However, with more and more structured data being published online, the restriction to the hyperdocument model impairs the usefulness for searching and ...
