Towards a methodology for semantic and context-aware mobile learning
2013
International audience; Internet and mobile devices open the way towards mobile learning (m-learning), offering new opportunities to extend learning beyond the traditional teacher-led classroom. M-learning is not only any form of teaching or studying that takes place when the user interacts with a mobile device. It is more than just using a mobile device to access resources and communicate with others. It should take account of the constant mobile situation of the learner. The challenge here is to exploit this continually changing situation with a system that can dynamically recognize and adapt educational resources and services to the "context" in which the learner operates (localization, …
FOWLA, A Federated Architecture for Ontologies.
2015
International audience; The progress of information and communication technologies has greatly increased the quantity of data to process. Thus, managing data heterogeneity is a problem nowadays. In the 1980s, the concept of a Federated Database Architecture (FDBA) was introduced as a collection of components to unite loosely coupled federation. Semantic web technologies mitigate the data heterogeneity problem, however due to the data structure heterogeneity the integration of several ontologies is still a complex task. For tackling this problem, we propose a loosely coupled federated ontology architecture (FOWLA). Our approach allows the coexistence of various ontologies sharing common data…
Customizing Semantic Profiling for Digital Advertising
2014
International audience; Personalization is the new magic buzzword of application development. To make the complexity of today's application functionalities and information spaces "digestible", customization has become the new go-to technique. But while those technologies aim to ease the consumption of media for their users, they suffer from the same problematic: in the age of Big Data, applications have to cope with a conundrum of heterogeneous information sources that have to be perceived, processed and interpreted. Researchers tend to aim for a maximum degree of integration to create the perfect, all-embracing personalization. The results are wide-range, but overly complex systems that su…
Ontology-based Integration of Web Navigation for Dynamic User Profiling
2015
The development of technology for handling information on a Big Data-scale is a buzzing topic of current research. Indeed, improved techniques for knowledge discovery are crucial for scientific and economic exploitation of large-scale raw data. In research collaboration with an industrial actor, we explore the applicability of ontology-based knowledge extraction and representation for today's biggest source of large-scale data, the Web. The goal is to develop a profiling application, based on the implicit information that every user leaves while navigating the online, with the goal to identify and model preferences and interests in a detailed user profile. This includes the identification o…
Adding Semantic Extension to Wikis for Enhancing Cultural Heritage Applications
2011
International audience; Wikis are appropriate systems for community-authored content. In the past few years, they show that are particularly suitable for collaborative works in cultural heritage. In this paper, we highlight how wikis can be relevant solutions for building cooperative applications in domains characterized by a rapid evolution of knowledge. We will point out the capabilities of semantic extension to provide better quality of content, to improve searching, to support complex queries and finally to carry out di fferent type of users. We describe the CARE project and explain the conceptual modeling approach. We detail the architecture of WikiBridge, a semantic wiki which allows …
COBieOWL, an OWL ontology based on COBie standard
2015
International audience; Building Information Modelling (BIM) standards have been recognized by construction and political actors as a highly promising tool for resolving issues of data dematerialization, notably in the field of Architecture, Engineering, Construction and Facility Management. Among worldwide-adopted BIM standards, there is COBie. COBie’s goals are to dematerialize building data and to enhance building information interoperability. Nevertheless, COBie data is available in static formats such as STEP or spreadsheet templates. Such formats lack logical formalisms and semantic features provided by languages such as OWL. Because of this, in this paper, we propose a method for sem…
Is this fungus everywhere? Elucidating the genetic structure of populations of the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices
2010
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomeromycota) are ubiquitous mutualistic associates of plants. Only relatively recently it has become possible to study the population biology of some species of these fungi. The model organism Glomus intraradices has been found across an extremely wide range of habitats and succession stages on different continents using molecular identification approaches. We used regions of the mitochondrially-encoded rDNA as novel molecular markers to resolve the intraspecies structure of G. intraradices and found a high diversity of mitochondrial haplotypes among isolates from all over the world. These markers for the first time also offer to genotype G. intraradices dire…
Organisation médicale pendant la première guerre mondiale. L’exemple de l’hôpital américain de Saint-Parize-le-Châtel
2016
The data obtained from the diagnosis carried out in 2014 in Saint-Parize-le-Châtel, in Nievre, compared with those obtained from the archives and information provided by local authorities, enabled us to retrace the history of this large American hospital (700 permanent buildings on 330 ha) built during the winter of 1918-1919. The spatial organization of the camp, which meets various criteria (patient/caregiver, male/female, officers/soldiers, living areas/care areas/technical areas), and equipment (radiology, disinfection, laboratories...) show that it was conceived as a place benefiting from pioneering advances in matters of health.

Entre destructions et reconstructions, le patrimoine sicilien pendant et après la Seconde Guerre mondiale
2020
Dans cette contribution, nous présentons les traces sur le terrain et dans les archives d’un bombardement survenu à Solonte dans la nuit du 12 décembre 1942. Le point de départ de cette recherche est une photographie conservée dans les archives du Musée archéologique régional Antonio Salinas, documentant la restauration d’une citerne de Solonte suite aux bombardements alliés. Nos recherches dans les archives ont permis de reconstituer la chronologie des faits et de mettre en lumière le rôle des Surintendants des Antiquités de la Sicile occidentale, Jole Bovio Marconi puis Vincenzo Tusa, pendant et après la guerre pour protéger le patrimoine culturel. Solonte, comme d’autres sites siciliens,…
