@inproceedings{kourtesis2008combining, abstract = {UDDI registries are included as a standard offering within the product suite of any major SOA vendor, serving as the foundation for establishing design-time and run-time SOA governance. Despite the success of the UDDI specification and its rapid uptake by the industry, the capabilities of its offered service discovery facilities are rather limited. The lack of machine-understandable semantics in the technical specifications and classification schemes used for retrieving services, prevent UDDI registries from supporting fully automated and thus truly effective service discovery. This paper presents the implementation of a semantically-enhanced registry that builds on the UDDI specification and augments its service publication and discovery facilities to overcome the aforementioned limitations. The proposed solution combines the use of SAWSDL for creating semantically annotated descriptions of service interfaces and the use of OWL-DL for modelling service capabilities and for performing matchmaking via DL reasoning.}, added-at = {2008-05-28T14:50:07.000+0200}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Kourtesis, Dimitrios and Paraskakis, Iraklis}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/26b1ee8e572600c6d2efc47c9f58817ee/eswc2008}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference}, editor = {Hauswirth, Manfred and Koubarakis, Manolis and Bechhofer, Sean}, interhash = {663d8e2c89b56f1691163502b34cfec5}, intrahash = {6b1ee8e572600c6d2efc47c9f58817ee}, keywords = {integration semantic uddi universal web sawsdl discovery annotations language description owl service services ontology wsdl semantic-web-services-1}, month = {June}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {LNCS}, timestamp = {2008-05-28T14:50:07.000+0200}, title = {Combining SAWSDL, OWL-DL and UDDI for Semantically Enhanced Web Service Discovery}, url = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/eswc/2008/papers/375}, year = 2008 } @inproceedings{schmidt2008user, abstract = {The need for adaptive and personalized Rich Internet Application puts a new dimension to already existing approaches of Adaptive Hypermedia Systems. Instead of computing the adaptation steps at the server, Rich Internet Applications need a client-side approach that can react immediately on user input. In this paper we present a novel approach that holistically combines page annotations, semantic Web usage mining, user modeling, ontologies and rules to adapt AJAX pages. The focus of our pater is the conceptual introduction of the autonomous client. An autonomous client directly executes all necessary adaptation steps based on a user model, without requesting any logic on the server. In order to realize this, we use ontologies to annotate Rich Internet Applications and to describe the user model as well as semantic Web usage mining for detecting adaptation rules. Additionally, we provide a detailed overview and evaluation of how we moved resource-intensive ontology processing and rules execution from the server to the client.}, added-at = {2008-05-28T14:49:54.000+0200}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Schmidt, Kay-Uwe and Dörflinger, Jörg and Rahmani, Tirdad and Sahbi, Mehdi and Thomas, Susan and Stojanovic, Ljiljana}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2dc85f0d776078a6b46419598834afa09/eswc2008}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference}, editor = {Hauswirth, Manfred and Koubarakis, Manolis and Bechhofer, Sean}, interhash = {b2824f43fb8fef23cd8592dfa6ceec41}, intrahash = {dc85f0d776078a6b46419598834afa09}, keywords = {adaptation applications data internet language mining modeling ontologies rich rule semantic user user-interfaces-and-personalization web}, month = {June}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {LNCS}, timestamp = {2008-05-28T14:49:54.000+0200}, title = {An User Interface Adaptation Architecture for \\Rich Internet Applications}, url = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/eswc/2008/papers/72}, year = 2008 } @inproceedings{hart2008rabbit, abstract = {The mathematical nature of description logics has meant that domain experts find it hard to understand. This forms a significant impediment to the creation and adoption of ontologies. This paper describes Rabbit, a Controlled Natural Language that can be translated into OWL with the aim of achieving both comprehension by domain experts and computational preciseness. We see Rabbit as complementary to OWL, extending its reach to those who need to author and understand domain ontologies but for whom OWL is difficult to comprehend even when expressed in more user-friendly forms such as the Manchester Syntax. The paper outlines the main grammatical aspects of Rabbit, which can be broadly classified into declarations, concept descriptions and definitions, and elements to support interoperability between ontologies. The paper also describes the human subject testing that has been performed to date and indicates the changes currently being made to the language following this testing. Further modifications have been based on practical experience result from the application of Rabbit for the development of operational ontologies in the domain of topography.}, added-at = {2008-05-28T14:49:50.000+0200}, address = {Berlin, Heidelberg}, author = {Hart, Glen and Johnson, Martina and Dolbear, Catherine}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/212988f7dbd3e3e61866b745a7247ee88/eswc2008}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 5th European Semantic Web Conference}, editor = {Hauswirth, Manfred and Koubarakis, Manolis and Bechhofer, Sean}, interhash = {e81da021cbfd2bda72f5c0a833ca3f3a}, intrahash = {12988f7dbd3e3e61866b745a7247ee88}, keywords = {cnl controlled syntax ontology authoring language owl natural ontologies-and-natural-language}, month = {June}, publisher = {Springer Verlag}, series = {LNCS}, timestamp = {2008-05-28T14:49:50.000+0200}, title = {Rabbit: Developing a Control Natural Language for Authoring Ontologies}, url = {http://data.semanticweb.org/conference/eswc/2008/papers/10}, year = 2008 }
