The discussion on the importance of Semantic Web for the promotion of Information systems is extremely interesting. In this first newsletter we tried through personal invitations to outline only few aspects of the convergence of SW and IS. As we already mentioned in the editorial of NEWS, the Inaugural Issue of the International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems Journal (at the en...

5 Triple Space Computing (TSC) has been proposed as communication and coordination paradigm based on the convergence of space6 based computing and the Semantic Web. It acts as a global virtual shared space like middleware to enable communication and 7 coordination of semantic data based on the principle of publish and read. This paper presents an overview of the work in progress under 8 Austria...

This work tries to align the knowledge representation of Anatomy with Galen modelling of the French new coding system of surgical procedures named CCAM and the UMLS semantic network. We use a mixed method lexical and semantic to align the semantic categories of Galen CCAM with the UMLS semantic types. The matching rate is high and the 22 % of non matched Galen CCAM descriptors are depending upo...

Domain theory has been used with great success in providing a semantic framework for Turing computability, over both discrete and continuous spaces. On the other hand, classical approximation theory provides a rich set of tools for computations over real functions with (mainly) polynomial and rational function approximations. We present a semantic model for computations over real functions base...

Deep convolutional semantic segmentation (DCSS) learning doesn’t converge to an optimal local minimum with random parameters initializations; a pre-trained model on the same domain becomes necessary to achieve convergence.In this work, we propose a joint cooperative end-to-end learning method for DCSS. It addresses many drawbacks with existing deep semantic segmentation learning; the proposed a...

Several semantic based user profile approaches have been introduced in the literature to learn the users’ interests for personalized search. However, many of them are ill-suited to cope with a domain of information that evolves and user interests that may change over time. In this paper, we propose a novel dual representation of a user’s semantic profile to deal with this problem: (1) a lower-l...

this paper examines the semantic contribution of -?r and -andeh suffixes in persian based on lieber’s (2004) lexical semantic representation. this framework using six semantic features ([material], [dynamic], [location], [ieps] , [b] and [ci] and a principle called coordination principle studies the semantic contribution of lexical items including affixes and their functions in compounding, der...

Categories are not invariant. This paper attempts to explore the dynamic nature of semantic category, in particular, that of fashion language, based on the cognitive theory of Dawkins’ memetics, a new theory of cultural evolution. Semantic attributes of linguistic memes decrease or proliferate in replication and spreading, which involves a dynamic development of semantic category. More specific...
