Functional Queries to Wrapped Educational Semantic Web Meta-Data

چکیده

The aim of the Edutella project is to provide a peer-to-peer infrastructure for educational material retrieval using semantic web meta-data descriptions of educational resources. Edutella uses the semantic web meta-data description languages RDF and RDF-Schema for describing web resources. The aim of this work is to wrap the Edutella infrastructure with a functional mediator system. This makes it possible to define general functional queries and views over educational and other material described using RDF and RDF-Schema. It is based on the observation that RDF-Schema definitions are easily mapped into a functional data model. This allows any RDF-Schema file to be wrapped by a functional mediator system. The RDF-Schema definitions are translated into a corresponding functional meta-data schema consisting of a type hierarchy and a set of functions. Queries then can be expressed in terms of the translated semantic functional schema. Since meta-data descriptions can contain both RDF and RDF-Schema definitions the system allows both to co-exist with the difference that queries over basic RDF meta-data are expressed on a lower level in terms of a generic functional schema representing all RDF structures.

Query translation between RDF and XML: A case study in the educational domain

RDF is used as a central building block for the Semantic Web. Considering providers of learning resources, it is commonplace to store and exchange meta-information in XML rather than RDF. Instead of transforming meta-data artefacts into RDF, we integrate these meta-data by translating users’ queries issued against RDF into queries over XML meta-data. We demonstrate the applicability of our quer...

Developing a BIM-based Spatial Ontology for Semantic Querying of 3D Property Information

With the growing dominance of complex and multi-level urban structures, current cadastral systems, which are often developed based on 2D representations, are not capable of providing unambiguous spatial information about urban properties. Therefore, the concept of 3D cadastre is proposed to support 3D digital representation of land and properties and facilitate the communication of legal owners...

Visual Querying for the Semantic Web

Principles of visXcerpt. The Semantic Web aims at enhancing data and service retrieval on the Web using meta-data and automated reasoning. Meta-data on the Semantic Web is heterogeneous. Several formalisms have been proposed. RDF, Topic Maps and OWL, e.g., and some of these formalisms have already a large number of syntactic variants. Like Web data, Web meta-data will be highly distributed. Thu...
