Download or read book Semantic Knowledge Management written by John Francis Davies and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its explosive growth over the last decade, the Web remains essentially a tool to allow humans to access information. Semantic Web technologies like RDF, OWL and other W3C standards aim to extend the Web’s capability through increased availability of machine-processable information. Davies, Grobelnik and Mladenic have grouped contributions from renowned researchers into four parts: technology; integration aspects of knowledge management; knowledge discovery and human language technologies; and case studies. Together, they offer a concise vision of semantic knowledge management, ranging from knowledge acquisition to ontology management to knowledge integration, and their applications in domains such as telecommunications, social networks and legal information processing. This book is an excellent combination of fundamental research, tools and applications in Semantic Web technologies. It serves the fundamental interests of researchers and developers in this field in both academia and industry who need to track Web technology developments and to understand their business implications.

Download or read book Methods and Supporting Technologies for Data Analysis written by Danuta Zakrzewska and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-07-11 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overwhelming pace of evolution in technology has made it possible to develop intelligent systems which help users in their dayly life activities. - cordingly, methods of recording, managing and analysing data have evolved from the very simple ?le systems into complex ambient supportive intelligent systems. This book arises as a compilation of methods, techniques and tools c- nected with data related issues: from modelling to analysis. A broad range of approaches such as database self-* techniques for ubiquitous environments, multimedia data, or data driven models will be reviewed. Di?erent areas of applications, in which data models conceptualize nowadays reality, starting from e-learning to electric transformers will be considered. The book is a collection of representative contributions to cover the sp- trum related to data bases, which support decision making and data mining methods as well as conceptualization. Datawarehouse technology and m- eling are presented in the ?rst chapter together with the deep review of datawarehouse techniques for supporting e-learning processes with special emphasis on data cubes, all the tools are considered in the context of imp- mentationofsoftwareapplication.Thesecondchaptercontinueswiththes- ilar technology and deals with the community data warehouse architecture.

Download or read book Advances in Data Management written by Zbigniew W Ras and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data Management is the process of planning, coordinating and controlling data resources. More often, applications need to store and search a large amount of data. Managing Data has been continuously challenged by demands from various areas and applications and has evolved in parallel with advances in hardware and computing techniques. This volume focuses on its recent advances and it is composed of five parts and a total of eighteen chapters. The first part of the book contains five contributions in the area of information retrieval and Web intelligence: a novel approach to solving index selection problem, integrated retrieval from Web of documents and data, bipolarity in database querying, deriving data summarization through ontologies, and granular computing for Web intelligence. The second part of the book contains four contributions in knowledge discovery area. Its third part contains three contributions in information integration and data security area. The remaining two parts of the book contain six contributions in the area of intelligent agents and applications of data management in medical domain.
