CORAAL - Dive into publications, bathe in the knowledge

Search engines used in contemporary online scientific publishing mostly exploit raw publication data (bags of words) and shallow metadata (authors, key words, citations, etc.). Exploitation of the knowledge contained implicitly in published texts is still largely not utilized. Following our long-term ambition to take advantage of such knowledge, we have implemented CORAAL (COntent extended by e...

Governance Must Dive Into Organizations to Make a Real Difference

In their 2016 article, Saltman and Duran provide a thoughtful examination of the governance challenges involved in different care delivery models adopted in primary care and hospitals in two European countries. This commentary examines the limited potential of structural changes to achieve real reform and considers that, unless governance arrangements actually succeed in penetrating organizatio...

DIVE into the event-based browsing of linked historical media

DIVE is a linked-data digital cultural heritage collection browser. It was developed to provide innovative access to heritage objects from heterogeneous collections, using historical events and narratives as the context for searching, browsing and presentating of individual and group of objects. This paper describes the DIVE Web Demonstrator. This demonstrator uses semantics from existing colle...

DiVA: Using Application-Specific Policies to 'Dive' into Vector Approximations

In high-dimensional data domains, the performance of conventional tree-based access structures is occasionally outperformed by simple sequential scans. To this end, the introduction of approximation-based methods helped speed-up queries by providing compact representations of stored data. Approximation methods exploit vector quantization to index data mainly presumed to follow a uniform distrib...
