Combining Concepts and Language Models for Information Access

10/12/2010 Publications Theses No Comments

Since 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…

Enabling Data Transport between Web Services

20/04/2010 Conference Papers Publications No Comments

Despite 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. This…

Structuring and extracting knowledge for the support of hypothesis generation in molecular biology

20/10/2009 Conference Papers Publications No Comments

Hypothesis 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.…

Semantic disclosure in an e-Science environment

16/03/2009 Books Publications No Comments

The 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…

De Aida toolbox: Een gecombineerde aanpak voor het beheren van kennis

16/01/2009 Publications Publicity No Comments

In 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…

Biological applications of Aida knowledge management components

16/03/2008 Conference Papers Publications No Comments

Given 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 between…

Enabling Data Transport between Web Services through alternative protocols and Streaming

16/02/2008 Conference Papers Publications No Comments

As 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:…
