MS defense: Building a Database semanticizer for Task ComputingTweetSpeaker: Anubhav Sonthalia Start: Monday, December 06, 2004, 11:30AM End: Monday, December 06, 2004, 01:00AM Location: ITE 325 Abstract: The vision of the Semantic web is to give the web a well defined meaning
by representing the same in OWL and linking it to ontologies accepted
commonly by standardization efforts. Most of the formatted data is today
stored in the form of relational databases. We need to RDFize it in order
to use this data on the Semantic Web. The data model behind RDF is a
directed labeled graph, which consists of nodes and labeled directed arcs
linking pairs of nodes. To export data from an RDBMS into RDF, the
relational database model has to be mapped to the graph-based RDF data
model. We go for a service oriented model to capture the necessary values
we require to create a semantic instance. We have modeled our application
as a semantic service for Task Computing.
Also we have demonstrated the usefulness of our system in the domains of
Task Computing and the Bioinformatics Grid Computing domain. Bio grid task
computing environments are now able to access legacy databases and pass on
tuples in the form of semantic instances. Also we demonstrated how Bio
grid Computing can enhance the user experience of a bioinformatics
researcher.
