  <description><![CDATA[The increasing volume, variety and velocity of intelligence analysis in the post 9/11 era requires new approaches to information system design that enable greater flexibility, precision, timeliness and automation of analysis to maximize valuable human resources in responding to fast-evolving threats. Ontology-based technology as applied in areas such as bioinformatics has demonstrated the possibility of gains along all these dimensions.

One promising approach is to use Semantic Web technologies to mitigate privacy concerns in an informed, flexible way. We present CARLTON, a framework for managing data privacy for entities in a Physical Web deployment using Semantic Web technologies.

  <description><![CDATA[The Web is the greatest source of general knowledge available today. Its current form, however, suffers from two limitations.  The first is that text and multimedia objects on the Web are easy for people to understand but difficult for machines to interpret and use.  The second is that the Web's access paradigm remains dominated by information retrieval, where keyword queries produce a ranked list of documents that must be read to find the desired information.

  <description><![CDATA[Topic models are widely used to thematically describe a collection of
text documents and have become an important technique for systems that
measure document similarity for classification, clustering,
segmentation, entity linking and more.  While they have been applied
to some non-text domains, their use for semi-structured graph data,
such as RDF, has been less explored.  We present a framework for
applying topic modeling to RDF graph data and describe how it can be

  <description><![CDATA[The maturation of semantic web standards and associated web-based data representations like schema.org have made RDF a popular model for representing graph data and semi-structured knowledge. However, most existing SPARQL endpoint supports simple access control mechanism preventing its use for many applications. To protect the data stored in RDF stores, we describe a framework to support attribute-based fine grained access control and explore its feasibility. We implemented a prototype of the...]]></description>

Lushan Han

Developing interfaces to enable casual, non-expert users to query complex structured data has been the subject of much research over the past forty years. We refer to them as as schema-free query interfaces, since they allow users to freely query data without understanding its schema, knowing how to refer to objects, or mastering the appropriate formal query language. Schema-free query interfaces address fundamental problems in natural la...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Building flexible manufacturing supply chains requires interoperable and accurate manufacturing service capability (MSC) information of all supply chain participants. Today, MSC information, which is typically published either on the supplier’s web site or registered at an e-marketplace portal, has been shown to fall short of the interoperability and accuracy requirements. This issue can be addressed by annotating the MSC information using shared ontologies. However, ontology-based approach...]]></description>

The proposed framework uses text analytics to extract clinical entities from electronic health records and semantic web analytics to generate a domain specific knowledge base (KB) of patients’ clinical facts.

Context-aware systems exploit the use of situational information, or context, to provide relevant information and services to users. A great challenge remains in defining an architecture that supports context-aware systems. Critical research issues include modeling and reasoning (how to represent contextual information for machine processing and reasoning), knowledge sharing (how to enable agents to acquire consistent knowl...]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[Evidence for a table’s meaning can be found in its metadata but currently requires human interpretation. We describe techniques grounded in graphical models and probabilistic reasoning to infer meaning associated with a table. Using background knowledge from the Linked Open Data cloud, we automatically infer the semantics of column headers, table cell values (e.g., strings and numbers) and relations between columns and represent the inferred meaning as graph of RDF triples.]]></description>
