Combining Concepts and Language Models for Information Access
0Since the middle of last century, information retrieval has gained an increasing interest. Since its inception, much research has been devoted to finding optimal ways of representing both documents and queries, as well as improving ways of matching one with the other. In cases where document annotations or explicit semantics More >
Enabling Data Transport between Web Services
0Despite numerous benefits, many Web Services (WS) face problems with respect to data transport, either because SOAP doesn’t offer a scalable way of transporting large data-sets or because orchestration workflows (WF) don’t move data around efficiently. In this paper we address both problems with the development of the ProxyWS. More >
Structuring and extracting knowledge for the support of hypothesis generation in molecular biology
0Hypothesis generation in molecular and cellular biology is an empirical process in which knowledge derived from prior experiments is distilled into a comprehensible model. The requirement of automated support is exemplified by the difficulty of considering all relevant facts that are contained in the millions of documents available from PubMed. More >
Semantic disclosure in an e-Science environment
0The Virtual Laboratory for e-Science (VL-e) project serves as a backdrop for the ideas described in this chapter. VL-e is a project with academic and industrial partners where e-science has been applied to several domains of scientific research. Adaptive Information Disclosure (AID), a subprogram within VL-e, is a multi-disciplinary group More >
De Aida toolbox: Een gecombineerde aanpak voor het beheren van kennis
0In een computationele netwerk omgeving zoals het grid is een overvloed aan zeer uiteenlopende soorten bronnen aanwezig. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan tijdschrift artikelen, beelden, massa spectrometrie data, R scripts voor statistiek, web services, workflows of spreadsheets. Deze overvloed kan een grote belemmering vormen. Hoe moet een gebruiker de juiste bronnen vinden More >
Biological applications of Aida knowledge management components
0Given the important role of knowledge in biology, knowledge in a machine readable form can be an important asset for bioinformatics. We present two applications of AIDA (Adaptive Information Disclosure Application), a collection of knowledge management components. One is a workflow that extends a semantic model with putative relations More >
Enabling Data Transport between Web Services through alternative protocols and Streaming
0As web services gain acceptance in the e-Science community, some of their shortcomings have begun to appear. A significant challenge is to find reliable and efficient methods to transfer large data between web services. This paper describes the problem of scalable data transport between web services, and proposes a solution: More >
