  <description><![CDATA[Various aspects of a Web service may require description. This includes its constraints (e.g., "You must use HTTP Authentication when accessing this service") and its capabilities (e.g., "I can support GZIP compression"). Likewise, clients accessing Web services have constraints and capabilities of their own to consider when accessing services.

Many such aspects are typically associated with a number of orthogonal problem domains; for example, it may be desirable to describe constraints an...]]></description>

Tables are an integral part of documents, reports and Web pages in many scientific and technical domains, compactly encoding important information that can be difficult to express in text. Table-like structures outside documents, such as spreadsheets, CSV files, log files and databases, are widely used to represent and share information. However, tables remain beyond the scope of regular text processing systems which often treat them like free text.

Wild Big Data is data that is hard to extract, understand, and use due to its heterogeneous nature and volume. It typically comes without a schema, is obtained from multiple sources and provides a challenge for information extraction and integration. We describe a way to subduing Wild Big Data that uses techniques and resources that are popular for processing natural language text. The approach is...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[A colleague has been testing the scalablilty of a triple store using synthetic triples.  He asked if we could package up a large collection of real tiples caught in the wild by Swoogle.  After talking a bit, it was decided that having them as a simple SQL database dump would be the most convenient form.

This SQL database dump contains a table that of about 10.4M RDF triples extracted from the Swoogle cache on June 15, 2005.  The size of the compressed file is 162M and when uncompressed its...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Everyday, tens of millions of people chat, text, email, poke, twitter, IM and facebook (and, yes, that is a verb). They do what people have always done: they make friends and mark enemies, they assert and seek status, they look for affirmation and for connection, they check out the competition and, above all, they seek the comfort of community. Contrary to earlier predictions, people do not undertake revolutionary, unheard of acts just because the medium is new. In fact, the rise of social co...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The popularity of Internet-enabled mobile technology allows people to participate in many data gathering tasks such as making scientific observation, responding to regional polls, and collecting location-specific information such as parking availability and road conditions.  We describe initial work on a prototype and framework to support applications requiring collaborative data gathering and an awareness of a mobile device user's context. The framework uses Semantic Web languages to represe...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[As the Semantic Web gains attention as the next generation of the Web, the issue of reconciling different views of independently developed and exposed data sources becomes increasingly important. Ontology integration serves as a basis for solving this problem. In this paper, we describe an approach to construct a consensus ontology from numerous, independently designed ontologies.

Our method has the following features: i) the matching is carried out at the schema level; ii) the alignment o...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[The software agents paradigm has received considerable research but has not yet found broad application. The vision is still sound and will be re-invigorated by two new developments: semantic web languages, which provide stronger knowledge sharing technology, and the emergence of pervasive computing environments, whose requirements match the strengths of multiagent systems.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[This is a special edition puzzle to commemorate the AAAI-05 conference. The terms  in this AI themed word search puzzle were interlinked using a heuristic best-first search that favors shared letters, small diagrams and a uniform distribution of word directions. The empty cells were filled using a character 4-gram language model derived from the entries themselves.  The result is a word search puzzle that is compact and challenging.
