In this paper, we present FAGI-tr, a tool for aligning RDF vocabularies with respect to their geospatial aspect. The tool provides a framework for (a) loading a source and a target geospatial RDF dataset, (b) identifying vocabularies for representing geospatial RDF data, (c) selecting, from both datasets, the representations to be considered for processing, (d) selecting a target vocabulary and...

The surface (or, foreground) structure of linked data and their associated OWL vocabularies can be complemented by background models expressing valid ontological distinctions that may have become obscured by the modeling style chosen by the vocabulary designer. Background models can generally serve for debugging, visualization, matching, or even pattern-based design of operational ontologies su...

Most practically relevant domains include some degree of conceptual dynamics, i.e. new conceptual elements arise, and some old ones become irrelevant. This type of change imposes a substantial challenge on building up-todate domain vocabularies, and models in general. In this paper, we (1) provide a generic simulation model, based on a simple colored Petri-net, for investigating the interplay b...

The Documentalist Support System (DocSS) is developed to suite novel needs of documentalists working within the Dutch archive for Sound and Vision, broadcasters working outside of Sound and Vision and people interested in the Cultural Heritage value of the archive, who want to perform search in context. The documentalists (and to some extent the other users mentioned) need an environment in whi...

The Linked Data and the Social Science data communities developed the DDI-RDF Discovery Vocabulary, an ontology of the Data Documentation Initiative, in order to support the discovery of person-level data and its metadata. The Data Documentation Initiative (DDI) is an acknowledged international standard for the documentation and management of data from the social, behavioral, and economic scien...

Data were analyzed from a population-based, longitudinal sample of 8,650 U.S. children to (a) identify factors associated with or predictive of oral vocabulary size at 24 months of age and (b) evaluate whether oral vocabulary size is uniquely predictive of academic and behavioral functioning at kindergarten entry. Children from higher socioeconomic status households, females, and those experien...

Controlled medical vocabularies have become increasingly important in a range of medical informatics applications. However, the extensive size of most vocabularies often makes it diicult for users to gain an understanding of their contents. In previous work, we have investigated the partitioning of a large semantic-network based medical vocabulary into smaller units, for the purpose of easier g...

Shared vocabularies and ontologies are essential for many applications. Although standards recommendations already cover areas, adaptations usually necessary to represent concrete use-cases properly. Domain experts unfamiliar with ontology engineering, which creates special requirements needed tool support. Simple sketch applications too imprecise, while comprehensive editors often complicated ...
