Data in the life sciences are extremely diverse and stored a broad spectrum of repositories ranging from those designed for particular data types (such as KEGG pathway or UniProt protein data) to that general-purpose FigShare, Zenodo, Dataverse EUDAT). These have widely different levels sensitivity security considerations. For example, clinical observations about genetic mutations patients highly sensitive, while species diversity generally not. The lack uniformity models one repository...
One of the central research challenges in Internet Things and Ubiquitous Computing domains is how users can be enabled to “program” their personal industrial smart environments by combining services that are provided devices around them. We present a service composition system enables goal-driven configuration for end semantic metadata reasoning with visual modeling tool. In contrast process-driven approaches where mashups statically defined, we make use embedded API descriptions dynamically...
Unstructured metadata fields such as 'description' offer tremendous value for users to understand cultural heritage objects.However, this type of narrative information is little direct use within a machine-readable context due its unstructured nature.This paper explores the possibilities and limitations Named-Entity Recognition (NER) Term Extraction (TE) mine meaningful concepts.These concepts can be used leverage otherwise limited searching browsing operations, but they also play an...
Publication and archival of scientific results is still commonly considered the responsability classical publishing companies. Classical forms publishing, however, which center around printed narrative articles, no longer seem well-suited in digital age. In particular, there exist currently efficient, reliable, agreed-upon methods for datasets, have become increasingly important science. this article, we propose to design data as a web-based bottom-up process, without top-down control...
Linked data represents each piece of as a link between two things. It lets software reasoners arrive at conclusions in human-like way. This column discusses how the EYE reasoner exploits linked and industry is employing EYE.
Hyperlinks and forms let humans navigate with ease through websites they have never seen before. In contrast, automated agents can only perform preprogrammed actions on Web services, reducing their generality restricting usefulness to a specialized domain. Many of the employed services call themselves RESTful, although neglect hypermedia constraint as defined by Roy T. Fielding, stating that application state should be driven hypertext. This lack link usage severely limits in what do, while...
The early visions for the Semantic Web, from famous 2001 Scientific American article by Berners-Lee et al., feature intelligent agents that can autonomously perform tasks like discovering information, scheduling events, finding execution plans complex operations, and in general, use reasoning techniques to come up with sense-making traceable decisions. While today-more than ten years later-the building blocks (1) resource-oriented rest infrastructure, (2) Web APIs, (3) Linked Data are place,...
We present an approach that combines semantic metadata and reasoning with a visual modeling tool to enable the goal-driven configuration of smart environments for end users. In contrast process-driven systems where service mashups are statically defined, this makes use embedded API descriptions dynamically create fulfill user's goal. The main advantage presented system is its high degree flexibility, as can adapt dynamic fault-tolerant respect individual services becoming unavailable. To...
