First-generation Semantic Web applications typically use one ontology—or at most, a few—that ontology engineers built, selected, and integrated design time. In contrast, the next generation of will dynamically exploit as large-scale source distributed knowledge. The authors have implemented several next-generation gained, in process, insights about Web's current status, strengths, limitations. An analysis their initial results also indicates near-future directions for Web, well upcoming...

Abstract. With the recent rapid growth of Semantic Web (SW), processes searching and querying content that is both massive in scale heterogeneous have become increasingly challenging. User-friendly interfaces, which can support end users exploring this novel diverse, structured information space, are needed to make vision SW a reality. We present survey on ontology-based Question Answering (QA), has emerged years exploit opportunities offered by semantic Web. First, we provide comprehensive...

While semantic search technologies have been proven to work well in specific domains, they still confront two main challenges scale up the Web its entirety. In this we address issue with a novel system that a) provides user capability query Semantic information using natural language, by means of an ontology-based Question Answering (QA) [14] and b) complements answers retrieved during QA process ranked list documents from [3]. Our results show capabilities can be used complement enhance...

Bioactive peptides are an important class of natural products with great functional diversity. Chemical modifications can improve their pharmacology, yet structural diversity presents unique challenges for computational modeling. Furthermore, data canonical (non-modified) is more abundant than non-canonical (chemically modified). We explored whether current methods sufficient to generalize from datasets. To do this, we first considered two critical aspects the modeling problem, namely choice...

Objectives/Goals: Using k-means clustering, we aimed to identify whether clusters characterized by greater exposure minority stressors (e.g., experienced/anticipated discrimination) were associated with lower moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and higher sedentary behavior among sexual gender (SGM; e.g., lesbian/gay, bisexual, transgender) adults. Methods/Study Population: SGM adults face risks of inadequate PA due stressors, which may influence their willingness ability engage in...

PowerAqua is a Question Answering system, which takes as input natural language query and able to return answers drawn from relevant semantic resources found anywhere on the Semantic Web. In this paper we provide two novel contributions: First, detail new component of Triple Similarity Service, match queries effectively triples in different ontologies Second, first evaluation addition providing data about PowerAqua's competence, also gives us important insights into issues related using Web...

Currently, techniques for content description and query processing in Information Retrieval (IR) are based on keywords, therefore provide limited capabilities to capture the conceptualizations associated with user needs contents. Aiming solve limitations of keyword-based models, idea conceptual search, understood as searching by meanings rather than literal strings, has been focus a wide body research IR field. More recently, it used prototypical scenario (or even envisioned potential...
