Leveraging Semantic Web Technologies for Managing Resources in a Multi-Domain Infrastructure-as-a-Service Environment

This paper reports on experience with using semantically-enabled network resource models to construct an operational multi-domain networked infrastructure-as-a-service (NIaaS) testbed called ExoGENI, recently funded through NSF’s GENI project. A defining property of NIaaS is the deep integration of network provisioning functions alongside the more common storage and computation provisioning fun...

Semantic Resources for Managing Legislative Information

XML tagging offers the possibility of embedding semantic information in legislative documents, namely, information about the normative content of the legal text [1, 4, 7, 24, 41, 44, 49]. The embedded semantic information can have different levels of depth and can have different articulated structure [3, 7].
