In this paper we present the novel paradigm of Social Semantic Bookmarking. Social Semantic Bookmarking combines the positive aspects of semantic annotation with those of social bookmarking and tagging while avoiding their respective drawbacks like the cumbersome maintenance of ontologies or the lacking semantic precision of tags. Social semantic bookmarking tools allow for the annotation of in...

With the explosive growth of various social media applications, individuals and organizations are increasingly using their contents (e.g., reviews, forum discussions, blogs, microblogs, comments, and postings in social network sites) for decision making. These contents are typical big data. Opinion mining or sentiment analysis focuses on how to extract emotional semantics from these big data to...

Traditional Newspapers have been struggling to find a new business model to economically survive in this new wave of digital social revolution. This study uses ontology of a multi-gated model to suggest that program designers use different kinds of most popular news cues to satisfy diverse citizens’ needs. Different concepts of citizens are discussed theoretically in exploring how a social sema...

Sustainability has been assessed by measuring the environmental, social and economic performance. Such diverse measurements could include contrasting attributes in sustainability measures namely environmental, social, and economic attributes. Our research argues that it is necessary to use a multidimensional approach for sustainability knowledge improvements that consist of all sustainability d...

The problem of merging several ontologies has important applications in the Semantic Web, medical ontology engineering, and other domains where information from several distinct sources needs to be integrated in a coherent manner. We propose to treat ontology merging as a problem of social choice, i.e., as a problem of aggregating the input of a set of individuals into an adequate collective de...

While the explosive increase in information published on the Web, researchers have to filter information when searching for conference related information. To make it easier for users to search related information, this paper uses Topic Maps and social information to implement ontology since ontology can provide the formalisms and knowledge structuring for comprehensive and transportable machin...

This paper proposes integration of a social network with the tripartite model of ontologies by P. Mika. That model is based on three dimensions, i.e. actors, concepts and instances, and illustrates ontology emergence using actor-concept and conceptinstance relations. However, another important ingredient is the actor-actor relation. For example, a vocabulary is sometimes shared within a communi...

Passenger information aims at improving the user-friendliness of public transport systems while influencing passenger route choices to satisfy transit user’s travel requirements. The integration of transit information from multiple agencies is a major challenge in implementation of multi-modal passenger information systems. The problem of information sharing is further compounded by the multi-l...
