Relationship based Entity Recommendation System
With the increase in usage of the internet as a place to search for information, the importance of the level of relevance of the results returned by search engines have increased by many folds in recent years. In this paper, we propose techniques to improve the relevance of results shown by a search engine, by using the kinds of relationships between entities a user is interested in. We propose a technique that uses relationships between entities to recommend related entities from a knowledge base which is a collection of entities and the relationships with which they are connected to other entities. These relationships depict more real world relationships between entities, rather than just simple âis-aâ or âhas-aâ relationships. The system keeps track of relationships on which user is clicking and uses this click count as a preference indicator to recommend future entities. This approach is very useful in modern day semantic web searches for recommending entities of userâs interests
Design and implementation of a filter engine for semantic web documents
This report describes our project that addresses the challenge of changes in the semantic web. Some studies have already been done for the so-called adaptive semantic web, such as applying inferring rules. In this study, we apply the technology of Event Notification System (ENS). Treating changes as events, we
developed a notification system for such events
Ontological Matchmaking in Recommender Systems
The electronic marketplace offers great potential for the recommendation of
supplies. In the so called recommender systems, it is crucial to apply
matchmaking strategies that faithfully satisfy the predicates specified in the
demand, and take into account as much as possible the user preferences. We
focus on real-life ontology-driven matchmaking scenarios and identify a number
of challenges, being inspired by such scenarios. A key challenge is that of
presenting the results to the users in an understandable and clear-cut fashion
in order to facilitate the analysis of the results. Indeed, such scenarios
evoke the opportunity to rank and group the results according to specific
criteria. A further challenge consists of presenting the results to the user in
an asynchronous fashion, i.e. the 'push' mode, along with the 'pull' mode, in
which the user explicitly issues a query, and displays the results. Moreover,
an important issue to consider in real-life cases is the possibility of
submitting a query to multiple providers, and collecting the various results.
We have designed and implemented an ontology-based matchmaking system that
suitably addresses the above challenges. We have conducted a comprehensive
experimental study, in order to investigate the usability of the system, the
performance and the effectiveness of the matchmaking strategies with real
ontological datasets.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figure

A practical mandatory access control model for XML databases
A practical mandatory access control (MAC) model for XML databases is presented in this paper. The
label type and label access policy can be defined according to the requirements of different applications. In order to
preserve the integrity of data in XML databases, a constraint between a read-access rule and a write-access rule in
label access policy is introduced. Rules for label assignment and propagation are presented to alleviate the workload
of label assignments. Furthermore, a solution for resolving conflicts in label assignments is proposed. Rules for
update-related operations, rules for exceptional privileges of ordinary users and the administrator are also proposed
to preserve the security of operations in XML databases. The MAC model, we proposed in this study, has been
implemented in an XML database. Test results demonstrated that our approach provides rational and scalable
performance
An analysis of the Sargasso Sea resource and the consequences for database composition
Background: The environmental sequencing of the Sargasso Sea has introduced a huge new resource of genomic information. Unlike the protein sequences held in the current searchable databases, the Sargasso Sea sequences originate from a single marine environment and have been sequenced from species that are not easily obtainable by laboratory cultivation. The resource also contains very many fragments of whole protein sequences, a side effect of the shotgun sequencing method.These sequences form a significant addendum to the current searchable databases but also present us with some intrinsic difficulties. While it is important to know whether it is possible to assign function to these sequences with the current methods and whether they will increase our capacity to explore sequence space, it is also interesting to know how current bioinformatics techniques will deal with the new sequences in the resource.Results: The Sargasso Sea sequences seem to introduce a bias that decreases the potential of current methods to propose structure and function for new proteins. In particular the high proportion of sequence fragments in the resource seems to result in poor quality multiple alignments.Conclusion: These observations suggest that the new sequences should be used with care, especially if the information is to be used in large scale analyses. On a positive note, the results may just spark improvements in computational and experimental methods to take into account the fragments generated by environmental sequencing techniques
