This paper proposes a methodology to identify and classify the semantic relations holding among the possible different answers obtained for a certain query on DBpedia language specific chapters. The goal is to reconcile information provided by language specific DBpedia chapters to obtain a consistent results set. Starting from the identified semantic relations between two pieces of information,...

Online communities are islands of people and topics that are not interlinked. Complementary discussions exist on disparate systems but it is currently difficult to exploit the available distributed information. A Semantically Interlinked Online Community (SIOC) can enable efficient information dissemination across communities by creating an ontology that will model concepts identified in discus...

Abundance of macrobenthos in the outer channel area of Chilika lagoon in the east coast of India was studied during Monsoon season of 2007 & 2008. In total 27 species of macrobenthic organisms were collected during the study period season. Crustacea was emerged as the most dominate group representing 9 species followed by polychaetes with 8 species while 5 species belonged to bivalvia and 3 spe...

The paper deals with the standing stock of macrobenthic infauna and associated environmental factors influencing the benthic community in the shelf region of the northwest Indian coast. The data were collected onboard FORV Sagar Sampada during the winter monsoon (January-February, 2003) to understand the community structure and the factors influencing the benthic distribution. The environmental...

Sediment dynamics and the hydrodynamics of the environment cause the complexity and variability in animal-sediment relationship, both in spatial and temporal. This study is focused on the response of macrobenthic fauna to environmental disturbance caused by fish farming using their trophic structure. Their changes in trophic structure can be used as an indicator of disturbance. Eight control si...

Abstract Similar to other coastal biogenic habitats (e.g. tidal marshes, kelp forests, mangroves and coral reefs), a key function of seagrass meadows is the enhancement biodiversity. Variability at multiple spatial scales driver biodiversity, but our understanding response macrofauna communities variability limited. We examined community structure (abundance biomass) diversity patterns (?- ?-di...

Artificial substrates have been implemented to overcome the problems associated with quantitative sampling of marine epifaunal assemblages. These provide artificial habitats that mimic natural habitat features, thereby standardizing effort and enabling direct comparisons among different sites studies. This paper explores potential “Artificial Seaweed Monitoring System” (ASMS) methodology evalua...
