Semantic Mappings in Description Logics for Spatio-temporal Database Schema Integration
2005
International audience; The interoperability problem arises in heterogeneous systems where different data sources coexist and there is a need for meaningful information sharing. One of the most representive realms of diversity of data representation is the spatio-temporal domain. Spatio-temporal data are most often described according to multiple and greatly diverse perceptions or viewpoints, using different terms and with heterogeneous levels of detail. Reconciling this heterogeneity to build a fully integrated database is known to be a complex and currently unresolved problem, and few formal approaches exist for the integration of spatio-temporal databases. The paper discusses the interope…
ACTIVE3D: SEMANTIC AND MULTIMEDIA MERGING FOR FACILITY MANAGEMENT
2010
International audience; This paper presents a Semantic Web approach for facility management. This Web-based platform lets geographically dispersed project participants--from facility managers and architects to electricians to plumbers--directly use and exchange project documents in a centralized virtual environment using a simple Web browser. A 3D visualization lets participants move around in the building being designed and obtain information about the objects that compose it. This approach is based on a semantic model called CDMF and IFC 2x3. CDMF improves data management during the lifecycle of a building. Based on graph combinations and the contextual element SystemGraph, our propositio…
Contribution of Semantic Web on Customer Relationship Management in E-Tourism
2010
International audience; This paper presents an ongoing research on the development of a customer relationship management in e-tourism. Based both on techniques of the Semantic Web and Adaptive Hypermedia Systems, this paper presents a solution for dynamic adaptation of the offer to customers according to semantic criteria characterizing the Internet. A case study about tourism in Côte d'Or department in Burgundy is presented.
AN ONTOLOGY-BASED APPROACH TO PROVIDE PERSONNALIZED RECOMMENDATIONS USING A STOCHASTIC ALGORITHM
2011
International audience; The use of personalized recommender systems to assist users in the selection of products is becoming more and more popular and wide-spread. The purpose of a recommender system is to provide the most suitable items from an knowledge base, according the user knowledge, tastes, interests, ... These items are generally proposed as ordered lists. In this article, we propose to combine works from adaptive hypermedia systems, semantic web and combinatory to create a new kind of recommender systems suggesting combinations of items corresponding to the user.
Temporal Logic To Query Semantic Graphs Using The Model Checking Method
2012
International audience; Semantic interoperability problems have found their solutions due to the use of languages and techniques from the Semantic Web. The proliferations of ontologies and meta-information have improved the understanding of information and the relevance of search engine responses. However, the construction of semantic graphs is a source of numerous errors of interpretation or modeling, and scalability remains a major problem. The processing of large semantic graphs is a limit to the use of semantics in current information systems. The work presented in this paper is part of a new research at the border of two areas: the semantic web and the model checking. This line of rese…
OntoVersionGraph : a change management methodology dedicated to formal ontologies and their user views in a collaborative context
2014
The world changes over time, impacting the knowledge of every subdomain it contains. Therefore systems describing the knowledge of a certain domain should be able to consider changes occurred to keep its knowledge representation up-to-date. Formal ontologies are one of them: they explicitly and formally represent the knowledge of a domain in all its forms and modes of existence. Collaboratively developed, a formal ontology allows the domain users to understand each other by sharing the same terminology despite the different assumptions they have on the domain conceptualization. However, due to its completeness, the complexity of its conceptualization can sometimes make the domain knowledge …
SIMILARITY NETWORK FOR SEMANTIC WEB SERVICES SUBSTITUTION
2013
Web services substitution is one of the most challenging tasks for automating the composition process of multiple Web services. It aims to improve performances and to deal efficiently with Web services failures. Many existing solutions have approached the problem through classification of substitutable Web services. To go a step further, we propose in this paper a network based approach where nodes are Web services operations and links join similar operations. Four similarity measures based on the comparison of input and output parameters values of Web services operations are presented. A comparative evaluation of the topological structure of the corresponding networks is performed on a ben…
Context-aware semantic Web service discovery protocol
2009
The Web of today represents a broad space where users research, discover and share information. In this context, the process of Web service discovery plays a significant role. Indeed, such process allows linking the information published by service providers and the requests of users, looking for information. Generally, such process involves text or keyword-based techniques. Still, this kind of discovery fails in retrieving only relevant information. Our approach is to design a more " intelligent " system that allows using a knowledge base during the service discovery process, as it is done in the Semantic Web vision. This thesis presents a framework for semantic Web service discovery using…
A reference architecture for archival systems with application to product models
2013
Nowadays, a major part of the information is in digital form. Digital preservation is essential to allowpeople to access information over time. From a computer science perspective, two major objectiveshave to be met to enable digital preservation: developing archival systems to manage the preserveddigital information, and select information representations that will facilitate the preservation. For complexinformation such as product models, these two objective are particularly hard to meet. Archivalsystems have to operate in a complex environment, interact with many different systems, and supportmay different business functions. Product model representations do not use all the possibilities…
Semantically-enhanced advertisement recommender systems in social networks
2017
El objetivo principal de la investigación es estudiar y diseñar un entorno de recomendación publicitaria en las redes sociales que puede ser enriquecido mediante tecnologías semánticas. A pesar de que existen muchas aplicaciones y soluciones para los sistemas de recomendación, en este estudio se diseña un framework robusto con un rendimiento adecuado para poder ser implementado en las redes sociales con el objetivo de ampliar los propósitos de negocio. De este objetivo principal se pueden derivar los siguientes objetivos secundarios: 1. Superar las limitaciones iniciales de los métodos clásicos de recomendación. 2. Aumentar la calidad y precisión de las recomendaciones y el rendimiento del …
