Benchmarking Semantic Web technology
Semantic Web technologies need to interchange ontologies for further use. Due to the heterogeneity in the knowledge representation formalisms of the different existing technologies, interoperability is a problem in the SemanticWeb and the limits of the interoperability of current technologies are …

Archaeology and the Semantic Web
This thesis explores the application of Semantic Web technologies to the discipline of Archaeology. Part One (Chapters 1-3) offers a discussion of historical developments in this field. It begins with a general comparison of the supposed benefits of semantic technologies and notes that they …

Adaptive user interfaces for the Semantic Web
The Semantic Web aims to democratise data by making data open, shareable and recombinable (Berners-Lee, Hendler, & Lassila, 2001). To achieve these characteristics, Semantic Web data, different to data on the web, is structured. However, unlike traditional databases, the structure of Semantic Web …

Federated Query Processing for the Semantic Web
… in the amount of RDF data available on the Web. This growth is largely based on the increasing rate of data publication on the Web by different actors such governments, life science researchers or geographical institutes. RDF data generation is mainly done by converting already existing …

Discrete event calculus using Semantic Web technologies
… into the creation of a framework that uses Semantic Web languages to implement a recently developed commonsense reasoning formalism called Discrete Event Calculus (DEC). It aims to show to what extent DEC reasoning can be applied to Semantic Web data, using the Semantic Web standards and …

Integrating institutional repositories into the Semantic Web
The Web has changed the face of scientific communication; and the Semantic Web promises new ways of adding value to research material by making it more accessible to automatic discovery, linking, and analysis. Institutional repositories contain a wealth of information which could benefit from the …

Adapting Semantic Web Information Retrieval to Multimedia
The amount of audio, video and image data on the Web is immensely growing, which leads to data management problems based on the hidden character of Multimedia. Therefore the interlinking of semantic concepts and media data with the aim to bridge the gap between the Internet of documents and the Web …

Reasoning strategies for semantic Web rule languages
Dealing with data in open, distributed environments is an increasingly important problem today. The processing of heterogeneous data in formats such as RDF is still being researched. Using rules and rule engines is one technique that is being used. In doing so, the problem of handling heterogeneous …

Personal data protection in the semantic web
… abuse of personal information via the World Wide Web can be addressed at political, social, and technical levels. As the Web evolves into the Semantic Web, where machines understand the information they process, technical solutions such as PEDAL become feasible. PEDAL, the Personal Data Access …

Semantic Web Enabled Composition of Web Services
… novel approach for the automatic composition of Web services on the envisioned Semantic Web. Automatic service composition requires dealing with three major research thrusts: semantic description of Web services, composability of participant services, and generation of composite service …

Fusing Automatically Extracted Annotations for the Semantic Web
This research focuses on the problem of semantic data fusion. Although various solutions have been developed in the research communities focusing on databases and formal logic, the choice of an appropriate algorithm is non-trivial because the performance of each algorithm and its optimal …

Latent Semantic Web Service Discovery and Composition Framework
A web service is a software system that supports interoperable machine to machine interaction over the network. It can be any kind of service provided on the web that can exchange data between applications. In simple terms, it is any program that is callable by another program across the web using …

Telling your story: autobiographical metadata and the semantic web
… of a human life is slowly being realised. The Semantic Web, a discipline of Computer Science, aims to support the sharing and interoperation of knowledge using the Web’s infrastructure. This thesis aims to roadmap a framework utilising the principles and technologies underpinning the Semantic …

Query-based database policy assurance using semantic web technologies
… themselves. In doing so, we use a number of Semantic Web technologies to define rules, translate queries, and make assertions about compliance with existing policies. We can ascertain compliance without looking at the contents of the database. Our system can function as a drop-in addition to …

Hurdles in the business case for the Semantic Web
… This was particularly true for Internet- and Web-oriented technologies since after all, being a believer just wasn't as popular as it used to be. However, life, business, and science go on, and the Web is no exception. This thesis will examine hurdles in the business case for the Semantic Web. …

Graph-based privacy preference expression for the semantic web
The Web is changing. Originally a medium for human-readable documents, the next generation Semantic Web is opening up toolkit that provides vast opportunities for sharing information that is encoded in a machine-readable form. The opportunities for sharing data also are opportunities for …
