This paper describes the design and implementation of Minimal RDFS semantics based on a backward chaining approach and implemented on a clustered RDF triplestore. The system presented, called 4sr, uses 4store as base infrastructure. In order to achieve a highly scalable system we implemented the...

The amount of Linked Data is increasing steadily. Optimized top-down Linked Data query processing based on complete knowledge about all sources, bottom-up processing based on run-time discovery of sources as well as a mixed strategy that combines them has been proposed. One particular problem wi...

Link traversal based query execution is a new query execution paradigm for the Web of Data. This approach allows the execution engine to discover potentially relevant data during the query execution and, thus, enables users to tap the full potential of the Web. In earlier work we propose to impl...

Biodiversity management requires the usage of heterogeneous biological information from multiple sources. Indexing, aggregating, and finding such information is based on names and taxonomic knowledge of organisms. However, taxonomies change in time due to evolution, new scientific findings, opin...

This paper presents Grr, a powerful system for generating random RDF data, which can be used to test Semantic Web applications. Grr has a SPARQL-like syntax, which allows the system to be both powerful and convenient. It is shown that Grr can easily be used to produce intricate datasets, such as...

Exploration and analysis of vast empirical data is a cornerstone of the development and assessment of driver assistance systems. A common challenge is to apply the domain specific knowledge to the (mechanised) data handling, pre-processing and analysis process. Ontologies can describe domain spe...

In order to evaluate a tool using the SEALS Platform, it has to be previously connected to it. This session includes a step-by-step guide that allows attendants to connect their tools (or any other tool they want to evaluate) to the platform so they can run evaluations over them. The rest of the...
