Building Semantic Web
Services
This book excerpt explains how semantics technologies will influence the
next generation of web services.
Semantic
Technology in the Real World
Amit Sheth (Semagix,
Inc.)
This Semantics
Technology Conference 2005 presentation covers enterprise semantic applications. It's
a quick read that explains topics such as ontology types and the
evolution of metadata.
 Semantics,
Ontologies and Modeling
Dave McComb of Semantic Arts discusses ontologies and semantics.
Adapting Golog for Semantic Web Services
Sheila McIraith (Stanford U.), Tran Cao Son (New Mexico State University)
This paper discusses the creation of agents using the logic programming with
Golog. The authors propose a solution for automatically
composing web services on the Semantic Web.
A Possible Simplication of the Semantic Web
Bernardo Cuenca Grau (University of Maryland)
The author discusses the problems of layering an ontology language,
such as OWL, over an RDF schema. The author suggests a solution to avoid
an overly-complex Semantic Web architecture.
Can Ontologies Learn Something from Database Semantics?
Robert Meersman (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)
Interesting presentation about merging ontologies with database
concepts and supporting ontology mining. The author includes an ORM model of the OIM Knowledge Description Model.
How
to Structure and Access XML Documents With Ontologies
Michael Erdmann, Rudi Studer
The authors use an ontology to access sets of
documents at a semantic or conceptual level. The ontology includes
a common
vocabulary so knowledge base queries are independent of structure.
The authors propose ontologies, conceptual modeling, inheritance,
and inference engines as solutions for finding information.
Ontology Markup for Web Forms Generation
Marlon Dumas, Lachlan Aldred, Arthur H.M. ter Hofstede (Queensland University of Technology), Mitra Heravizadeh
(GBST Holdings Pty Ltd)
This paper approaches ontologies as achievable using populated conceptual schemas,
XML tools
and relational databases. Web forms encode the ontology's constraints.
OWL Web Ontology Language
OWL has reached W3C Recommendation status. It's a language for marking up and publishing ontologies. OWL is
a derivation of DAML+OIL.
Resource
Description Framework (RDF)
RDF is a technology for defining metadata for purposes such as
building the semantic web. It's a solution for machine processing of
metadata.
Piazza: Data Management Infrastructure for Semantic Web Applications
Alon Y. Halevy, Zachary G. Ives, Peter Mork, Igor Tatarinov (University of Washington)
Piazza provides interoperation of XML with RDF and OWL ontologies.
It's language for mediating between Semantic Web data sources maps the domain structure
and document structure.
RDF Data Access Use Cases and Requirements
This working draft requirements for an RDF query language and a protocol for RDF data access. It suggests the RDF query language and data access protocol will contribute to th construction of Semantic Web applications.
The ConceptNet Project
This goal of this MIT project is to capture common sense knowledge in a
formal manner using a semantic network.
The
Semantic Web
A presentation by Tim Berners-Lee about attaining a logically consistent web of data.
The
Semantic Web
Tim Berners-Lee, James Hendler, and Ora Lassila
This Scientific American article describes how to improve web information retrieval
using automated agents and machine reasoning.
The
Syntactic Web: Syntax and Semantics on the Web
Jonathan Robie
This paper explains how XQuery can be used for querying RDF and topic
maps. Jonathan's approach is to transform RDF or topic map instances to
a syntax that models their underlying logical model and to use XQuery
libraries of RDF or topic map functions.
 Zoom
Semantic Search Engine
Zoom is a search engine that's useful for finding
documents about a common concept. Document collections are scanned to
identify significant words and form semantic chains.
