- An Expressive Constraint Language for semantic web Applications
- The semantic web vision is to enable rich machine-processing of web information sources. This paper presents a framework for semantic web applications based on constraint interchange and processing. At the core of the framework is a well-established semantic data model (P/FDM) with an associated expressive constraint language Colan. To allow...

- Credential Based Access Control for semantic web Services
- With the advent of the Semantic Web, Web services have gained even more importance. Semantic Web techniques, especially ontologies, allow to describe Web services with more machine understandable semantics, thus enabling new features like automatic composition, simulation and discovery of Web services. This paper makes a contribution to the proof...

- 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...

- Engineering the Presentation Layer for semantic web Information Systems
- This paper presents a design methodology that deals with the hypermedia presentation aspects involved in the development of a Semantic Web Information System. The methodology is driven by two main design models: the conceptual model and the application model. The application model extends the conceptual model with presentation abstractions that...

- Haystack: A Platform for Authoring End User semantic web Applications
- The Web fulfilled a practical need of users in allowing them to conveniently author, browse and share content online. The Haystack project brings the Semantic Web to end users by leveraging key Semantic Web technologies that allow users to easily manage their documents, e-mail messages, appointments, tasks, etc. End user...

- Interactive Composition of semantic web Services
- Web services are designed to provide interoperability between diverse applications. Composing services dynamically to create new functionality is necessary when the required task cannot be realized directly by the existing services. It is an ongoing research activity to automate this process but accomplishing this goal with a human controller as...

- Towards Creating Workflows On-the-Fly and Maintaining Them Using the semantic web: The sButler Project at Linkopings Universitet
- The aim of the sButler project Semantic Web Butler, which is part of the Swedish Semantic Web initiative, is to support on-the fly creation of workflows and their subsequent maintenance. The sButler agent will manage workflows and Web services modeled as Petri Nets, use the language facilities provided by the...

- Towards Web Automation by Integrating semantic web and Web Service
- In the recent decade, the amount of information on the Web has grown exponentially. Unfortunately, computers on the web still cannot automatically carry out complex tasks for people. It is because computers cannot understand HTML-based documents. Furthermore, the diversity of computing environments and communication protocols makes computers difficult to cooperate...

- User Interaction Experience for semantic web Information
- The Semantic Web project aims to add semantics to the existing World Wide Web. This paper proposes an extension of the Web's user interaction experience to take advantage of the added semantics. This user experience maintains the Web's original navigation paradigm, although all URIs, not just URLs, can be used...

- Semblog: Personal Publishing Platform With RSS and FOAF
- This paper proposes a content distribution support system for individuals with Semantic Web techniques. One should consider that the information distribution process does not mean only publishing but integrated process containing information gathering and authoring. In the approach presented in this paper, a lightweight metadata format that is RSS1.0 is...

- A Predicate-Ordered Sort-Ordered Logic for RDFS
- RDF Schema defines basic ontological modeling primitives on top of RDF. Other Semantic Web languages with richer modeling primitives are to be constructed by extending RDF Schema, among them are OIL, DAML and OWL. However, the layering of Semantic Web languages on RDFS RDF and RDF Schema cannot be achieved...

- A Peer-to-Peer Platform Based on semantic web Services
- This paper describes Everyware, a platform for distributed peer-to-peer Semantic Web services coordination. It is conceived to support personal information sharing among peers using different devices and hardware infrastructure. Using open standards and a completely distributed approach, Everyware allows end users to deploy personal Web services easily without requiring configuration...

- Service Level Agreements for semantic web Agents
- This paper proposes an RDF-based language called SWCL to represent contracts, with a focus on service level agreements. The language came about due to a requirement in the research concerning reliable service delivery in domains containing virtual organizations, and the paper describes one such domain. The language is built around...

- Supporting Collaboration Through Semantic-Based Workflow and Constraint Solving
- This paper describes the efforts to provide a collaborative problem solving architecture driven by semantic-based workflow orchestration and constraint problem solving. These technologies are based on a shared ontology that allows two open systems of very different natures to communicate, perform specialised tasks and achieve common goals. The paper gives...

- Developing a Service-Oriented Architecture to Harvest Information for the semantic web
- Armadillo is a tool that provides automatic annotation for the Semantic Web using unannotated resources like the existing Web for information harvesting, that is: combining a crawling mechanism with an extensible architecture for ontology population. The latter is achieved via largely unsupervised machine learning, boot-strapped from oracles, such as web-site...

- A Logic-Based RDF to HTML Generator for Spinning the semantic web
- This paper considers the problem of rendering RDF content for the human user by transforming RDF descriptions into a repository of semantically indexed and linked HTML pages. This paper presents a two level method for such a transformation: On the HTML level, the layout of the pages can be described...

- Wrapper Induction for End-User Semantic Content Development
- The transition from existing World Wide Web content to the Semantic Web relies on the labeling and classification of existing information before it is useful to end-users and their agents. This paper presents a wrapper induction system designed to allow end-users to create, modify, and utilize semantic patterns on unlabeled...
