The authors propose the markup of Web services in DAML family Semantic languages. This enables a wide variety agent technologies for automated service discovery, execution, composition and interoperation. present one such technology composition.
The article included many scenarios in which intelligent agents and bots undertook tasks on behalf of their human or corporate owners. Of course, shopbots auction abound the Web, but these are essentially handcrafted for particular tasks: they have little ability to interact with heterogeneous data information types. Because we haven't yet delivered large-scale, agent-based mediation, some commentators argue that semantic Web has failed deliver. We can only flourish when standards well...
The Semantic Web relies heavily on formal ontologies to structure data for comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. Thus, the proliferation of factors largely in Web's success. authors present an ontology learning framework that extends typical engineering environments by using semiautomatic construction tools. encompasses import, extraction, pruning, refinement evaluation.
Many challenges of bringing communicating multi-agent systems to the World Wide Web require ontologies. The integration agent technology and ontologies could significantly affect use services ability extend programs perform tasks for users more efficiently with less human intervention.
As researchers continue to create new languages in the hope of developing a Semantic Web, they still lack consensus on standard. The authors describe how Protege-2000, tool for ontology development and knowledge acquisition, can be adapted editing models different Web languages.
Researchers in artificial intelligence first developed ontologies to facilitate knowledge sharing and reuse. Ontologies play a major role supporting information exchange across various networks. A prerequisite for such is the development of joint standard specifying exchanging ontologies. The authors present OIL, proposal standard. applied World Wide Web are creating Semantic Web.
XML and RDF are the current standards for establishing semantic interoperability on Web, but addresses only document structure. better facilitates interoperation because it provides a data model that can be extended to address sophisticated ontology representation techniques. We explain role of ontologies in architecture Semantic Web. then briefly summarize key elements RDF, showing why using as tool will ineffective long run. argue further inference layer is needed top Web's layers,...
Ontologies play a prominent role on the Semantic Web. They make possible widespread publication of machine understandable data, opening myriad opportunities for automated information processing. However, because Web's distributed nature, data it will inevitably come from many different ontologies. Information processing across ontologies is not without knowing semantic mappings between their elements. Manually finding such tedious, error-prone, and clearly at Web scale. Hence, development...
HP Labs developed the Jena toolkit to make it easier develop applications that use semantic Web information model and languages. is a Java application programming interface available as an open-source download from www.hpl.hp.com/semweb/jena-top.html.
Trust is an integral component in many kinds of human interaction, allowing people to act under uncertainty and with the risk negative consequences. For example, exchanging money for a service, giving access your property, choosing between conflicting sources information all may utilize some form trust. In computer science, trust widely used term whose definition differs among researchers application areas. essential vision Semantic Web, where both new problems applications are being...

In reaction this bottleneck many new research initiatives commercial enterprises been set up enrich available with machine-processable semantics. paper considers how semantic will provide intelligent access heterogeneous distributed enabling software products (agents)...
With more substantial funding from research organizations and industry, numerous large-scale applications, recently developed technologies, the Semantic Web is quickly emerging as a well-recognized important area of computer science. While technologies are still rapidly evolving, Foundations Technologies focuses on established foundations in this that have become relatively stable over time. It thoroughly covers basic introductions intuitions, technical details, formal foundations.The book...
Ontologies have proven to be an essential element in many applications. They are used agent systems, knowledge management and e-commerce platforms. can also generate natural language, integrate intelligent information, provide semantic-based access the Internet, extract information from texts addition being other applications explicitly declare embedded them. However, not only ontologies useful for which plays a key role, but they trigger major change current Web contents. This is leading...
In connection with the DAML project for bringing about Semantic Web, an ontology of time is being developed describing temporal content Web pages and properties services. This covers topological instants intervals, measures duration, meanings clock calendar terms.
We present an approach to hybrid semantic Web service matching that complements logic based reasoning with approximate on syntactic IR similarity computations. The matchmaker, called OWLS-MX, applies this services and requests specified in OWL-S. Experimental results of measuring performance scalability different variants OWLS-MX show under certain constraints only approaches OWL-S I/O can be significantly outperformed by ones.
Ontologies play a crucial role in the development of Semantic Web as means for defining shared terms web resources. They are formulated ontology languages, which based on expressive description logics. Significant research efforts semantic community recently directed towards representing and reasoning with uncertainty vagueness ontologies Web. In this paper, we give an overview approaches context to managing probabilistic uncertainty, possibilistic logics

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...
