In order to provide existing SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)-based Web services with users who are familiar with REST (REpresentational State Transfer)-style Web services, this paper proposes Web service providing method using Web service transformation. This enables SOAP-based service providers to define rules for mapping from RESTful Web services to SOAP-based ones. Using these mapping r...

The Semantic Web is based on the idea that Web applications provide semantically annotatedWeb pages. This metadata is typically added in the semantic annotation process which is currently not part of the Web engineering process. Web engineering, however, proposes methodologies to design, implement and maintain Web applications but lack semantic annotation. In this paper we show how WEESA, a map...

Ontologies as means for conceptualizing and structuring domain knowledge within a community of interest are seen as a key to realize the Semantic Web vision. However, the decentralized nature of the Web makes achieving this consensus across communities difficult, thus, hampering efficient knowledge sharing between them. In order to balance the autonomy of each community with the need for intero...

Online interactive maps have become a popular means of communicating with spatial data. In most online mapping systems, Web Mercator has become the dominant projection. While the Mercator projection has a long history of discussion about its inappropriateness for general-purpose mapping, particularly at the global scale, and seems to have been virtually phased out for general-purpose global-sca...

В статье предложена методика формирования базы географических данных объектов доступной (безбарьерной) среды с использованием мобильного ГИС-приложения, последующим web-картографированием и представлением результатов в виде Интернет-карты доступности. The article proposes a method for forming geographic database of objects in an accessible (barrier-free) environment using mobile GIS application...

The need for reliable maps of subterranean spaces too hazardous for humans to occupy has motivated the development of robotic mapping tools. For such systems to be fully autonomous, they must be able to deal with all varieties of subterranean environments, including those containing loops. This paper presents an approach for an autonomous mobile robot to determine if the area currently being ex...

Recent years have witnessed the emerging of web mapping applications. These applications allow a user to have access to spatial data, to support a descriptive query or map visualization and production. However, existing applications are rather limited regarding the flexibility offered to the user. This paper proposes to revisit and enrich the Map-on-Demand concept. We present the limitations of...

The Mouse Brain Web, a federated database, provides for the construction of anatomically correct models of mouse brain networks. Each web page in this database provides the position, orientation, morphology, and putative synapses for each biologically observed neuron. The Mouse Brain Web has been designed to support (1) mapping of the spatial distribution and morphology of neurons by type; (2) ...
