An Information Enhancement Technique by using Linked Data

Author's own post-print version of a paper published in the Aslib Proceedings journal, by Emerald Publishing Group.

Keyword-based search in general is particularly applicable if the searcher really knows what she is looking for and how to find it. But in many cases either the objectives of the searcher are intrinsically fuzzy or she has no idea of the appropriate…

Vast amounts of information is available in structured forms like spreadsheets, database relations, and tables found in documents and on the Web. We describe an approach that uses linked data to interpret such tables and associate their components…

Integration of data from multiple sources makes it possible to build effective systems management solutions. Despite the expected benefits, data integration remains a challenge. Heterogeneity between data sources in terms of lack of an accepted…

In this position paper, we first discuss how modern search engines, such as Google, make use of Linked Data spread in Web pages for displaying Rich Snippets. We present an example of the technology and we analyze its current uptake. We then sketch…

Linked Data is designed to support interoperability and sharing of open datasets by allowing on the fly inter-linking of data using the basic layers of the Semantic Web and the HTTP protocol. In our research, we focus on providing a Uniform Resource…

One possible threat to linked data quality is the lack of knowledge about the dynamics in dependent remote datasets. Linked data consuming applications often need to be aware of changes in these datasets in order to update local data dependencies.…

Resource List Management Systems (RLMS) allow the electronic publication of course reading lists. Aside from electronic access, existing systems in this area provide little utility for teachers and learners above and beyond the traditional paper…

While recommender systems can greatly enhance the user experience, the entry barriers in terms of data acquisition are very high, making it hard for new service providers to compete with existing recommendation services. This paper proposes to build…

The world is moving from a state where there is paucity of data to one of surfeit. These data, and datasets, are normally in different datastores and of different formats. Connecting these datasets together will increase their value and help…
