Leveraging Bus Mobility to Enable Communications in Urban Areas

This paper shows that the deployment of an opportunistic network on any public transportation system leads to obtain a scalable and efficient urban communication platform. We use the term Bus Switched Networks (BSNs) to indicate this urban backbone that complements the services of 3G networks and enables to meet the application level requirements for a large class of applications by ensuring hi...

Leveraging Linked Data to Discover Semantic Relations Within Data Sources

Mapping data to a shared domain ontology is a key step in publishing semantic content on the Web. Most of the work on automatically mapping structured and semi-structured sources to ontologies focuses on semantic labeling, i.e., annotating data fields with ontology classes and/or properties. However, a precise mapping that fully recovers the intended meaning of the data needs to describe the se...

Leveraging Mathematical Subject Information to Enhance Bibliometric Data

The field of mathematics is known to be especially challenging from a bibliometric point of view. Its bibliographic metrics are especially sensitive to distortions and are heavily influenced by the subject and its popularity. Therefore, quantitative methods are prone to misrepresentations, and need to take subject information into account. In this paper we investigate how the mathematical bibli...

Leveraging Linked Data to Infer Semantic Relations within Structured Sources

Information sources such as spreadsheets and databases contain a vast amount of structured data. Understanding the semantics of this information is essential to automate searching and integrating it. Semantic models capture the intended meaning of data sources by mapping them to the concepts and relationships defined by a domain ontology. Most of the effort to automatically build semantic model...
