- Combining the CIDOC CRM and MPEG-7 to Describe Multimedia in Museums
- This paper describes a proposal for an interoperable metadata model, based on international standards, which has been designed to enable the description, exchange and sharing of multimedia resources both within and between cultural institutions. Domain-specific ontologies have been developed by two different ISO Working Groups to standardize the semantics associated...

- Ontology-Based Semantic Metadata Validation
- Much of the Semantic Web content is generated from databases, especially the instance data based on the ontology classes used in applications. A recurring problem is that the instance data does not always semantically conform to the ontology used. It may be ambiguous, incomplete, or partly erroneous. Validating the data...

- Ontology-Based Image Retrieval
- The binary form of an image does not tell what the image is about. It is possible to retrieve images from a database using pattern matching techniques, but usually textual descriptions attached to the images are used. Semantic web ontology and metadata languages provide a new way to annotating and...

- D2R MAP - A Database to RDF Mapping Language
- The vision of the Semantic Web is to give data on the web a well-defined meaning by representing it in RDF and linking it to commonly accepted ontologies. Most formatted data today is stored in relational databases. To be able to use this data on the Semantic Web we need...

- Towards Semantic Web Engineering: WEESA - Mapping XML Schema to Ontologies
- The existence of semantically tagged Web pages is crucial to bring the Semantic Web to life. But it is still costly to develop and maintain Web applications that offer data and meta-data. Several standard Web engineering methodologies exist for designing and implementing Web applications. This paper introduces a technique to...

- On the Effect of Ontologies on Web Application Development Effort
- Ontologies play a key role in the Semantic Web the goal of which is to provide an environment able to advance quality of state-of-the-art web applications. Since the authors expect qualitative gains to come at the costs of increased development effort, they have decided to study the effect of an...

- A Target-Centric Ontology for Intrusion Detection
- This paper has produced an ontology specifying a model of computer attacks. The ontology is based upon an analysis of over 4,000 classes of computer intrusions and their corresponding attack strategies and is categorized according to: system component targeted, means of attack, consequence of attack and location of attacker. The...

- On Enriching Ajax With Semantics: The Web Personalization Use Case
- With the dawn of Ajax the capabilities of tracking user behavior multiplied. The same holds for the capabilities of adapting the user interface in a Web browser. To provide meaningful adaptation, the events, context and elements of an Ajaxified Portal must be given meaning. This paper shows the use of...

- Ajax for Networks and Ontologies
- Databases contribute to the management of huge biological data, and the associated tools with their sophisticated algorithms contribute to the analysis of the huge data. Databases and tools have been publicly released as web services for biologists to accelerate biological studies. Although these web services have become essential for biological...

- Querying a Geographic Database Using an Ontology-Based Methodology
- The work discussed in this paper presents a mechanism that allows different community users access the same geographic database without knowing its particular internal structure. The authors used geographic ontologies to support a common and shared understanding of a specific domain: the coral reefs. Using these ontologies descriptions that represent...

- Probabilistic Ontologies for Efficient Resource Sharing in Semantic Web Services
- Service Oriented Architecture SOA is a key technology to support interoperability among data and processing resources. Semantic interoperability requires mapping between vocabularies of independently developed resources, a task fraught with uncertainty. Probabilistic ontologies enable representation of knowledge in domains characterized by uncertainty. As such, they promise to improve the quality...

- Towards a Service-Oriented Measurement Infrastructure
- The importance of software measurement during the software development process is generally accepted, nowadays. Unfortunately, in practice common software measurement tools find small acceptance due to their high costs, inflexible structures, and therewith-unclear cost/benefit ratio. On this account this paper introduces a framework creating a measurement infrastructure by means of...

- Automatic Video Genre Categorization Using Hierarchical SVM
- This paper presents an automatic video genre categorization scheme based on the hierarchical ontology on video genres. Ten computable spatio-temporal features are extracted to distinguish the different genres using a hierarchical Support Vector Machines SVM classifier built by cross-validation, which consists of a series of SVM classifiers united in a...

- Ginseng: A Guided Input Natural Language Search Engine for Querying Ontologies
- The Semantic Web presents the vision of a distributed, dynamically growing knowledge base founded on formal logic. Common users, however, seem to have problems even with the simplest Boolean expression. So how can one help users to query a web of logic that they do not seem to understand? This...

- An Ontology for Quality-Aware Service Discovery
- The fast emergence and acceptance of service oriented architectures leads to fast development of extensional technologies like service delivery, discovery and composition. As main effort is being spent on automatic discovery and composition, current solutions do not reflect real world scenarios sufficiently. Services are offered by different vendors with different...
