Semantic integration became an attractive area of research in several disciplines, such as information integration, databases and ontologies. Huge amount of data is still stored in relational databases (RDBs) that can be used to build ontology, and the database cannot be used directly by the semantic web. Therefore, one of the main challenges of the semantic web is mapping relational databases ...

The SWHi (Semantic Web for History) project is aimed at integrating, combining, and deducing information on the early American history, based on the Early American Imprints, Series I: Evans, 1639-1800 collection, to assist general users or historians in exploring American history by using new technology offered by the Semantic Web. What are the possibilities of Semantic Web technologies for org...

DBpedia is one of the very well known live projects from the Semantic Web. It is like a mirror version of the Wikipedia site in Semantic Web. Initially it publishes the information collected from the Wikipedia, but only that part which is relevant to the Semantic Web. Collecting information for Semantic Web from the Wikipedia is demonstrated as the extraction of structured data. DBpedia normall...

An organisation’s competitiveness relies heavily on its business processes, and business processes nowadays are automated through Web Services to allow organisations to be more flexible in the face of change. However, bridging the gap between business process patterns and Web Services is an important yet challenging task and therefore this paper aims to describe an approach that facilitates the...

-Web is a wide term which mainly consists of surface web and hidden web. One can easily access the surface web using traditional web crawlers, but they are not able to crawl the hidden portion of the web. These traditional crawlers retrieve contents from web pages, which are linked by hyperlinks ignoring the information hidden behind form pages, which cannot be extracted using simple hyperlink ...

Based on the rapid development of Chinese agricultures, many English users are interesting on the Chinese agricultural information, and many Chinese users are interesting on English agricultural information too. This paper is a schema to design an agricultural cross languages engine, the core technology is the mapping between Chinese and English agricultural thesauri. The paper introduces the a...

The mapping between databases and ontologies is a basic problem when trying to "upgrade" deep web content to the semantic web. Our approach suggests the declarative definition of mappings as a way to achieve domain independency and reusability. A specific language (expressive enough to cover some real world mapping situations like lightly structured databases or not 1st normal form ones) is def...

User Experience (UX) is an integral part of software development, one which web-based mapping. Several factors that affect UX acceptable to users include visual aesthetics, ease menu hierarchy, component layout and display coloring. There are several things not implied in namely the psychological factor user there emotion feeling. This research located at BPKAD Palembang City has purposing 1) A...

The Semantic Web presents new opportunities for enabling modeling, sharing and reasoning with knowledge available on the web. These are made possible through the formal representation of the knowledge domain with ontologies. Ontology is also seen as a key factor for enabling interoperability across heterogeneous systems. Ontology mapping is required for combining distributed and heterogeneous o...
