The Linked Movie Database (LinkedMDB) project provides a demonstration of the first open linked dataset connecting several major existing (and highly popular) movie web resources. The database exposed by LinkedMDB contains millions of RDF triples with hundreds of thousands of RDF links to existing web data sources that are part of the growing Linking Open Data cloud, as well as to popular movie...

The design, implementation and performance of TwoGroups, a deductive database for the 58,761 groups of order 2n, (n # 8), is described. The system is implemented in NU-Prolog, a Prolog system with built-in functions for creating and using deductive databases. TwoGroups has a set-theoretic query language, which provides users with a familiar notation to access the data. The paper describes the d...

This paper presents recent results of the ongoing project aimed at creating the nominal database of the Hungarian WordNet. We present 9 different automatic methods, developed for linking Hungarian nouns to WN 1.6 synsets. Nominal entries are obtained from two different machine-readable dictionaries, a bilingual EnglishHungarian and an explanatory monolingual (Hungarian). The results are evaluat...

To study and to evaluate a multiple F0 estimation algorithm, a polyphonic database with verifiable ground truth is necessary. Real recordings with manual annotation as ground truth are often used for evaluation. However, ambiguities arise during manual annotation, which are often set up by subjective judgements. Therefore, in order to have access to verifiable ground truth, we propose a systema...

New technologies have been continuously emerging to enable effective reuse of an ever-growing amount of data on the Web. Innovative firms can leverage the available technologies and data to provide useful services. Comparison-shopping services are an example of reusing existing data to make bargain-finding easier. Certain reuses have caused conflicts with the firms whose data has been reused. C...

This paper describes CMU SIN, a new database of speech in noise that can be used for unit selection speech synthesis. We describe a process that can be used to elicit speech in noise and how to use that as part of building a synthetic voice that speaks in noise. Details of the database we constructed, as well as some preliminary analysis and future goals of this work, are also included.

XHTML and XBRL are the standard languages for creating a database for the purpose of displaying financial statements on web applications. Today, XBRL is one of the most popular languages for business reporting. A large number of countries in the world recognize the role of XBRL language for financial reporting and the benefits that the reporting format provides in the collection, analysis, prep...

A difficulty in using knowledge-based systems has been linking them to clinical databases. The challenge is in making a correct mapping from the data in the knowledge base to the data in the database. At Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center, we have built a suite of tools developed to create queries that address this challenge. The tools were designed to allow users to easily retrieve data from...

A novel, distributed method for estimating a trip table in real time is described. The system is called persistent traffic cookies, or PTC, by analogy with the use of cookies by webservers to keep track of the current state web browsers navigating a web site. The method uses traffic cookies placed on in-vehicle computers to maintain the state (current trip) of vehicles moving through the system...
