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 ...

People working in an office environment suffer from large volumes of information that they need to manage and access. Frequently, the problem is due to machines not being able to recognise the many implicit relationships ...

Event-based systems follow a decoupled mode of interaction between event producers and consumers in space, time, and synchronization to enable scalability within distributed systems. We recognize a fourth dimension of ...

In this paper, we propose a method that combines the principles of automatic term recognition and the distributional hypothesis to identify technology terms from a corpus of scientific publications. We employ the ...

Event processing follows a decoupled model of interaction in space, time, and synchronization. However,another dimension of semantic coupling also exists and poses a challenge to the scalability of event processing systems ...

The amount of bio-medical data available on the Web grows exponentially with time. The resulting large volume of data makes manual exploration very tedious. Moreover, the velocity at which this data changes and the variety ...

Cancer genomics researchers have greatly benefited from high-throughput technologies for the characterization of genomic alterations in patients. These voluminous genomics datasets when supplemented with the appropriate ...

OSS projects are dynamic in nature. Developers contribute to a project for a certain period of time and later leave the project or join other projects of high interest. Hence, the OSS community always welcomes members who ...

Personalised recommender systems receive growing attention from researchers of technology enhanced learning. The learning domain has a great need for personalisation as there is a general consensus that instructional ...
