SESLDS: An Extension Scheme for Linked Data Sources Based on Semantically Enhanced Annotation and Reasoning

In the era of Big Data, users prefer to get knowledge rather than pages from Web. Linked Data, a rather new form of knowledge representation and publishing described by RDF, can provide a more precise and comprehensible semantic structure to satisfy the aforementioned requirement. Besides, as the standard query language for RDF data, SPARQL has become the foundation protocol of Linked Data querying. The core idea of RDF Schema (RDFS) is to extend upon RDF vocabulary and allow attachment of semantics to user defined classes and properties. However, RDFS cannot fully utilize the potential of RDF since it cannot express the implicit semantics between linked entities in Linked Data sources. To fill this gap, in this paper, we design a new semantic annotating and reasoning approach that can extend more implicit semantics from different properties. We firstly establish a well‐defined semantically enhanced annotation strategy for Linked Data sources. In particular, we present some new semantic properties for predicates in RDF triples and design a Semantic Matrix for Predicates (SM_P). We then propose a novel general Semantically Extended Scheme for Linked Data Sources (SES_LDS) to realize the semantic extension over the target Linked Data source through semantically enhanced reasoning. Lastly, based on the experimental analyses, we verify that our proposal has advantages over the initial Linked Data source and can return more valid results.     

栅格数据地理信息系统(Raster GIS)关键技术分析

数据是地理信息系统的基础,强大的地理信息分析功能对地图数据有很高的要求.国内外大多数应用型地理信息系统都是基于矢量地图数据格式的.这样的系统在提供便利操作的同时,增加了系统开发成本和开发周期.如果建立基于栅格数据的地理信息系统,不需要数字化编辑处理地图数据,节省了矢量化数据的成本,并且地图显示更为形象、直观.在分析栅格数据和矢量数据的基础上,探讨了基于栅格数据的地理信息系统体系框架,并就基于栅格数据的地理信息系统开发中的基本地图操作、属性查询、地图分析等关键技术进行研究,提出了一些思路和解决办法.同时,将该技术成功应用到军事演习系统中,取得了良好的效果.

Unveiling the hidden bride: deep annotation for mapping and migrating legacy data to the Semantic Web

The success of the Semantic Web crucially depends on the easy creation, integration, and use of semantic data. For this purpose, we consider an integration scenario that defies core assumptions of current metadata construction methods. We describe a framework of metadata creation where Web pages are generated from a database and the database owner is cooperatively participating in the Semantic Web. This leads us to the deep annotation of the database—directly by annotation of the logical database schema or indirectly by annotation of the Web presentation generated from the database contents. From this annotation, one may execute data mapping and/or migration steps, and thus prepare the data for use in the Semantic Web. We consider deep annotation as particularly valid because: (i) dynamic Web pages generated from databases outnumber static Web pages, (ii) deep annotation may be a very intuitive way to create semantic data from a database, and (iii) data from databases should remain where it can be handled most efficiently—in its databases. Interested users can then query this data directly or choose to materialize the data as RDF files.     

一种大规模RDF语义数据的分布式存储方案

随着语义Web的发展,越来越多的RDF数据发布到Web上,需要一个可以提供存储和查询功能的数据管理系统来对海量的RDF数据进行管理。针对上述问题,设计并实现了一种大规模RDF语义数据的分布式存储方案。该方案通过RDF数据装载和预处理,可以有效地管理海量的RDF数据,并通过构建索引可以有效地对大规模RDF数据进行查询。工作包括底层的RDF存储方案的设计与实现,数据的预处理与装载。同时,设计了一系列实验来评估和对比不同节点数目的Cassandra集群之间的性能,数据采用的是从DBpedia获得的13 million行RDF的数据集。实验结果显示,方案对大规模RDF语义数据的存储和查询具有性能优势。     

一种Deep Web爬虫的设计与实现

随着World Wide Web的快速发展,Deep Web中蕴含了越来越多的可供访问的信息.这些信息可以通过网页上的表单来获取,它们是由Deep Web后台数据库动态产生的.传统的Web爬虫仅能通过跟踪超链接检索普通的Surface Web页面,由于没有直接指向Deep Web页面的静态链接,所以当前大多数搜索引擎不能发现和索引这些页面.然而,与Surface Web相比,Deep Web中所包含的信息的质量更高,对我们更有价值.本文提出了一种利用HtmlUnit框架设计Deep Web爬虫的方法.它能够集成多个领域站点,通过分析查询表单从后台数据库中检索相关信息.实验结果表明此方法是有效的.     

SW-Store: a vertically partitioned DBMS for Semantic Web data management

Efficient management of RDF data is an important prerequisite for realizing the Semantic Web vision. Performance and scalability issues are becoming increasingly pressing as Semantic Web technology is applied to real-world applications. In this paper, we examine the reasons why current data management solutions for RDF data scale poorly, and explore the fundamental scalability limitations of these approaches. We review the state of the art for improving performance of RDF databases and consider a recent suggestion, “property tables”. We then discuss practically and empirically why this solution has undesirable features. As an improvement, we propose an alternative solution: vertically partitioning the RDF data. We compare the performance of vertical partitioning with prior art on queries generated by a Web-based RDF browser over a large-scale (more than 50 million triples) catalog of library data. Our results show that a vertically partitioned schema achieves similar performance to the property table technique while being much simpler to design. Further, if a column-oriented DBMS (a database architected specially for the vertically partitioned case) is used instead of a row-oriented DBMS, another order of magnitude performance improvement is observed, with query times dropping from minutes to several seconds. Encouraged by these results, we describe the architecture of SW-Store, a new DBMS we are actively building that implements these techniques to achieve high performance RDF data management.

一种基于聚类模式的RDF数据聚类方法

如何有效管理并利用日益庞大的RDF数据是当今Web数据管理领域面临的挑战之一。对大规模的RDF数据集进行聚类操作从而得到数据集的有效划分是RDF数据存储和应用时通常采取的策略。针对现有RDF聚类过程中忽略RDF三元组自身模式特征的问题,在对RDF聚类结果的形式深入分析的基础上,定义了3种不同类型的聚类模式,从而提出基于模式的聚类方法。通过对RDF数据集的重新描述,自动生成适用于RDF数据集特征的聚类模式,在此基础上实现数据聚类的任务。在不同测试集上的实验结果验证了所提方法的正确性和有效性。

基于改进相似度传播算法的本体匹配

为解决本体异构、实现不同本体应用程序间互操作以及数据集成,提出一种基于RDF图的改进相似度传播匹配算法。首先通过WordNet发现初始相似对种子,经过预处理把本体表示成RDF三元组形式,针对RDF图的特点,将相似度传播的条件扩展到三元组中,发现可能相似对;然后采用综合元素特征的方法计算相似度。相似度传播、发现可能相似对种子、相似度计算是一个循环迭代的过程,直到满足收敛条件。实验表明了该算法的有效性,并在时间性能上也有所提高。     

Adding value to Linked Open Data using a multidimensional model approach based on the RDF Data Cube vocabulary

Most organisations using Open Data currently focus on data processing and analysis. However, although Open Data may be available online, these data are generally of poor quality, thus discouraging others from contributing to and reusing them. This paper describes an approach to publish statistical data from public repositories by using Semantic Web standards published by the W3C, such as RDF and SPARQL, in order to facilitate the analysis of multidimensional models. We have defined a framework based on the entire lifecycle of data publication including a novel step of Linked Open Data assessment and the use of external repositories as knowledge base for data enrichment. As a result, users are able to interact with the data generated according to the RDF Data Cube vocabulary, which makes it possible for general users to avoid the complexity of SPARQL when analysing data. The use case was applied to the Barcelona Open Data platform and revealed the benefits of the application of our approach, such as helping in the decision-making process.     

A mobile query service for integrated access to large numbers of online semantic web data sources

From the Semantic Web’s inception, a number of concurrent initiatives have given rise to multiple segments: large semantic datasets, exposed by query endpoints; online Semantic Web documents, in the form of RDF files; and semantically annotated web content (e.g., using RDFa), semantic sources in their own right. In various mobile application scenarios, online semantic data has proven to be useful. While query endpoints are most commonly exploited, they are mainly useful to expose large semantic datasets. Alternatively, mobile RDF stores are utilized to query local semantic data, but this requires the design-time identification and replication of relevant data. Instead, we present a mobile query service that supports on-the-fly and integrated querying of semantic data, originating from a largely unused portion of the Semantic Web, comprising online RDF files and semantics embedded in annotated webpages. To that end, our solution performs dynamic identification, retrieval and caching of query-relevant semantic data. We explore several data identification and caching alternatives, and investigate the utility of source metadata in optimizing these tasks. Further, we introduce a novel cache replacement strategy, fine-tuned to the described query dataset, and include explicit support for the Open World Assumption. An extensive experimental validation evaluates the query service and its alternative components.
