Improving Link Specifications using Context-Aware Information
There is an increasing interest in publishing data using the
Linked Open Data philosophy. To link the RDF datasets,
a link discovery task is performed to generate owl:sameAs
links. There are two ways to perform this task: by means
of a classi er or a link speci cation; we focus in the latter
approach. Current link speci cation techniques only use
the data properties of the instances that they are linking,
and they do not take the context information into account.
In this paper, we present a proposal that aims to generate
context-aware link speci cations to improve the regular
link speci cations, increasing the e ectiveness of the results
in several real-world scenarios where the context is crucial.
Our context-aware link speci cations are independent from
similarity functions, transformations or aggregations. We
have evaluated our proposal using two real-world scenarios
in which we improve precision and recall with respect to
regular link speci cations in 23% and 58%, respectively.Ministerio de EconomÃa y Competitividad TIN2013-40848-

ICOPER Project - Deliverable 4.3 ISURE: Recommendations for extending effective reuse, embodied in the ICOPER CD&R
The purpose of this document is to capture the ideas and recommendations, within and beyond the ICOPER community, concerning the reuse of learning content, including appropriate methodologies as well as established strategies for remixing and repurposing reusable resources. The overall remit of this work focuses on describing the key issues that are related to extending effective reuse embodied in such materials. The objective of this investigation, is to support the reuse of learning content whilst considering how it could be originally created and then adapted with that ‘reuse’ in mind. In these circumstances a survey on effective reuse best practices can often provide an insight into the main challenges and benefits involved in the process of creating, remixing and repurposing what we are now designating as Reusable Learning Content (RLC).
Several key issues are analysed in this report: Recommendations for extending effective reuse, building upon those described in the previous related deliverables 4.1 Content Development Methodologies and 4.2 Quality Control and Web 2.0 technologies. The findings of this current survey, however, provide further recommendations and strategies for using and developing this reusable learning content. In the spirit of ‘reuse’, this work also aims to serve as a foundation for the many different stakeholders and users within, and beyond, the ICOPER community who are interested in reusing learning resources.
This report analyses a variety of information. Evidence has been gathered from a qualitative survey that has focused on the technical and pedagogical recommendations suggested by a Special Interest Group (SIG) on the most innovative practices with respect to new media content authors (for content authoring or modification) and course designers (for unit creation). This extended community includes a wider collection of OER specialists. This collected evidence, in the form of video and audio interviews, has also been represented as multimedia assets potentially helpful for learning and useful as learning content in the New Media Space (See section 4 for further details).
Section 2 of this report introduces the concept of reusable learning content and reusability. Section 3 discusses an application created by the ICOPER community to enhance the opportunities for developing reusable content. Section 4 of this report provides an overview of the methodology used for the qualitative survey. Section 5 presents a summary of thematic findings. Section 6 highlights a list of recommendations for effective reuse of educational content, which were derived from thematic analysis described in Appendix A. Finally, section 7 summarises the key outcomes of this work
Optimal fault-tolerant placement of relay nodes in a mission critical wireless network
The operations of many critical infrastructures (e.g., airports) heavily depend on proper functioning of the radio communication network supporting operations. As a result, such a communication network is indeed a mission-critical communication network that needs adequate protection from external electromagnetic interferences. This is usually done through radiogoniometers. Basically, by using at least three suitably deployed radiogoniometers and a gateway gathering information from them, sources of electromagnetic emissions that are not supposed to be present in the monitored area can be localised. Typically, relay nodes are used to connect radiogoniometers to the gateway. As a result, some degree of fault-tolerance for the network of relay nodes is essential in order to offer a reliable monitoring. On the other hand, deployment of relay nodes is typically quite expensive. As a result, we have two conflicting requirements: minimise costs while guaranteeing a given fault-tolerance. In this paper address the problem of computing a deployment for relay nodes that minimises the relay node network cost while at the same time guaranteeing proper working of the network even when some of the relay nodes (up to a given maximum number) become faulty (fault-tolerance). We show that the above problem can be formulated as a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) as well as a Pseudo-Boolean Satisfiability (PB-SAT) optimisation problem and present experimental results com- paring the two approaches on realistic scenarios
MeLinDa: an interlinking framework for the web of data
The web of data consists of data published on the web in such a way that they
can be interpreted and connected together. It is thus critical to establish
links between these data, both for the web of data and for the semantic web
that it contributes to feed. We consider here the various techniques developed
for that purpose and analyze their commonalities and differences. We propose a
general framework and show how the diverse techniques fit in the framework.
From this framework we consider the relation between data interlinking and
ontology matching. Although, they can be considered similar at a certain level
(they both relate formal entities), they serve different purposes, but would
find a mutual benefit at collaborating. We thus present a scheme under which it
is possible for data linking tools to take advantage of ontology alignments.Comment: N° RR-7691 (2011
