OntoAIMS: ontological approach to courseware authoring
In this paper we discuss how current ontology concepts can be beneficial for more
flexible and semantic rich description of the authoring process and for the provision of authoring
support of Intelligent Educational Systems (IES) with respect to the three main authoring
modules: domain editing, course composition and resource management. We take a semantic
perspective on the knowledge representation within such systems and explore the interoperability
between the various ontological structures for domain, instructional and resource modeling and
the modeling of the entire authoring process. We build upon our research on Authoring Task
Ontology and exemplify it within OntoAIMS system. We present authoring scenarios and show
their mapping with authoring task ontology. Further we discuss the OntoAIMS framework for
management of electronic learning objects (resources) and their usage in the automatic generation
of course templates for the authors. Finally, we describe our architecture, based on the
ontological specification of the authoring process

Knowledge modelling for integrating semantic web services in e-government applications
Service integration and domain interoperability are
the basic requirements in the development of current
service-oriented e-Government applications. Semantic
Web and, in particular, Semantic Web Service (SWS)
technology aim to address these issues. However, the integration between e-Government applications and SWS is not an easy task. We argue that a more complex semantic layer needs to be modeled. The aim of our work is to provide an ontological framework that maps such a semantic layer. In this paper, we describe our approach for creating a project-independent and reusable model, and provide a case study that demonstrates its applicability
Abstract Syntax Networks for Code Generation and Semantic Parsing
Tasks like code generation and semantic parsing require mapping unstructured
(or partially structured) inputs to well-formed, executable outputs. We
introduce abstract syntax networks, a modeling framework for these problems.
The outputs are represented as abstract syntax trees (ASTs) and constructed by
a decoder with a dynamically-determined modular structure paralleling the
structure of the output tree. On the benchmark Hearthstone dataset for code
generation, our model obtains 79.2 BLEU and 22.7% exact match accuracy,
compared to previous state-of-the-art values of 67.1 and 6.1%. Furthermore, we
perform competitively on the Atis, Jobs, and Geo semantic parsing datasets with
no task-specific engineering.Comment: ACL 2017. MR and MS contributed equall
ArCo: the Italian Cultural Heritage Knowledge Graph
ArCo is the Italian Cultural Heritage knowledge graph, consisting of a
network of seven vocabularies and 169 million triples about 820 thousand
cultural entities. It is distributed jointly with a SPARQL endpoint, a software
for converting catalogue records to RDF, and a rich suite of documentation
material (testing, evaluation, how-to, examples, etc.). ArCo is based on the
official General Catalogue of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and
Activities (MiBAC) - and its associated encoding regulations - which collects
and validates the catalogue records of (ideally) all Italian Cultural Heritage
properties (excluding libraries and archives), contributed by CH administrators
from all over Italy. We present its structure, design methods and tools, its
growing community, and delineate its importance, quality, and impact
Knowledge web: realising the semantic web... all the way to knowledge-enhanced multimedia documents
The semantic web and semantic web services are major efforts in order to spread and to integrate knowledge technology to the whole web. The Knowledge Web network of excellence aims at supporting their developments at the best and largest European level and supporting industry in adopting them. It especially investigates the solution of scalability, heterogeneity and dynamics obstacles to the full development of the semantic web. We explain how Knowledge Web results should benefit knowledge-enhanced multimedia applications
A Framework for Semi-automated Web Service Composition in Semantic Web
Number of web services available on Internet and its usage are increasing
very fast. In many cases, one service is not enough to complete the business
requirement; composition of web services is carried out. Autonomous composition
of web services to achieve new functionality is generating considerable
attention in semantic web domain. Development time and effort for new
applications can be reduced with service composition. Various approaches to
carry out automated composition of web services are discussed in literature.
Web service composition using ontologies is one of the effective approaches. In
this paper we demonstrate how the ontology based composition can be made faster
for each customer. We propose a framework to provide precomposed web services
to fulfil user requirements. We detail how ontology merging can be used for
composition which expedites the whole process. We discuss how framework
provides customer specific ontology merging and repository. We also elaborate
on how merging of ontologies is carried out.Comment: 6 pages, 9 figures; CUBE 2013 International Conferenc
