Language and innovation are inseparable. Language conveys ideas which are essential in innovation, establishes the most immediate connections with our conceptualisation of the outside world, and provides the building blocks for communication. Every linguistic choice is necessarily meaningful, and it involves the parallel construction of form and meaning. From this perspective, language is a dynamic knowledge construction process. Emphasis is laid on investigating how words are used to...

This study was conducted in two waves, before and after the election carried out in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1969. The pre-election interview examined in detail the respondents' interest in politics and their sources of political information. The questionnaire also included an inquiry into the major problems facing Germany and the ability of the principal parties to deal with these issues. A number of measures were used to evaluate the political parties, including a series of...

Motivated by historical examples and ideas from socio-linguistics, in particular the "non-reciprocal power semantic" of Brown and Gilman (1960), we extend evolutionary models of language to incorporate intentional linguistic innovations among conventions that may convey social superiority and inferiority, despite being ambiguous, in the sense of less efficiency in communicating information. We show that egalitarian and unambiguous linguistic conventions can be stochastically stable but also...

For this study, conducted in 1967-1968, university students in French- and English-speaking areas of Canada, in the United States, and in France were surveyed. Data were obtained from 235 respondents in English-speaking Canada (interviewed at the University of British Columbia), 199 French Canadians (interviewed at the University of Montreal and Laval University), 166 Americans (interviewed at the University of Washington in Seattle), and 166 French students from universities in Paris,...

This project will put Australia at the forefront of international efforts to realise a functioning Semantic Web in which all data transactions are handled by machines talking to machines. It addresses the government's call for the creation of infrastructure and e-research tools that enable high-speed distributed access to Indigenous knowledge and culture resources, and its...

Intelligent Applications Through The Semantic Web. The primary aim of the proposed bid is to build a network of Australian researchers and their international peers for condresearch into the fundamental as well as applied aspects of the Semantic Web. By incorporating meaning of web-content in a form that can be accessed and processed by intelligent software agents, the Semantic Web will allow computers and humans to work in cooperation. This research will address the needs of both the...

The World Wide Web has changed ways people find and sue information. Since its beginnings as a collaboration tool for physicists, it has become a truly global channel for distributed publication of information. More recently, where once content was passive text on a page, it is fast becoming dynamic, flexible and responsive to the needs of its users. The result is a fundamental change in what it means to be a knowledge-based industry. As key sectors within the knowledge economy, the future...

Personalized, Adaptive, and Semantic-driven Selection and Composition of Web Services. Web services are the pillar of the new generation of Internet technologies. They provide standardized access to functionality that would otherwise be hidden inside enterprise information systems. As the existing base of web services expands, there is a need for techniques to select, configure, assemble, and coordinate web services to perform complex user tasks. This project will advance the fundamental...

During the last decade the Semantic Web community has established basic standards for representing data and the conceptual systems (ontologies) through which they are defined. However, encoding information in these formalisms (OWL, RDF) remains a technically difficult task. Widespread adoption of these technologies (with their important potential benefits) would be facilitated if transparent interfaces to the technical formalisms were available.The project aims to show that metadata in OWL...

My work has largely been concerned with how to improve access to the right information at the right time on the Web via effective presentation both of how to explore information as well as how to represent the confluence of sources that can be explored. My goal is to find ways to make it ever easier for anyone to start with what they know and be able to use that to help them explore information to build the knowledge they want. For instance, one challenge was to help someone who knew nothing...

Semantic Web Tutorial about turtle format using vocabulary.

The application showcases the ideas of a distributed, Semantic-Web enabled micro blogging architecture, providing a way to leverage this new Web 2.0 practice to the Semantic Web.

Organizations can benefit from integrating multilingual information from both textual and structured sources, and from its retrieval by means of Question Answering (QA) systems. Hybrid QA approaches, capable of finding answers in both documents and KGs, usually rely on translating textual sources into KG statements or vice-versa, and are often not leveraging the whole extent of a graph or the richness of the natural language text. Here we propose PORQUE, a hybrid QA system that utilizes...

It will cover methodologies, architecture, implemented governance models, and the added value from a business perspective.

In this presentation, we introduce the ESG topic complex and we discuss how the use of a comprehensive ESG knowledge model can support the implementation of ESG strategies in a multitude of ways. For example, to optimize ESG risk management, enhance sustainability reporting, and even provide rich information around ESG topics to all types of stakeholders, including supply chain managers, risk managers, and ESG strategists. Based on Semantic Web Company’s ESG knowledge model, we mention...

This presentation shows the approach of making use of Knowledge Graphs in Data Spaces and Data Markets to foster data- and semantic interoperability. Interoperability is the enabler of efficient and sustainable data sharing between organisations, either in a certain industry or across industries, either in the form of data trading or as data collaborations. This talk will explain the basic principles of Data Spaces, draw the problem statement of interoperability for value-added data sharing,...

Taxonomies and ontologies are often merged. Ontologists might look upon taxonomies as the component or extension of ontologies to include hierarchies of subclasses. But it also goes the other way. Taxonomies can be semantically enriched to become ontologies with the addition of a high-level ontology model. This bottom-up approach to ontology creation leverages existing taxonomies. While stakeholder input and analysis of data are standard inputs into ontology design, taxonomies can serve as...

In a multi-stakeholder ecosystem, data exchange is not sufficient and semantic interoperability should be achieved to ensure different information systems can communicate without loss of meaning. A semantic conversion procedure relying on a reference ontology can enable an efficient conversion between data formats sharing common semantics, whilst generating an integrated and interoperable knowledge graph. The Chimera framework proposes a flexible and configurable solution to address...
