Information Sharing on the Semantic Web
Heiner Stuckenschmidt, Frank van Harmelen - Collection Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing
Résumé
Information systems and intelligent knowledge processing are playing an increasing role in business, science and technology. Recently, advanced information systems have evolved to facilitate the co-evolution of human and information networks within communities. These advanced information systems use various paradigms including artificial intelligence, knowledge management, and neural science as well as conventional information processing paradigms. With this in mind, Springer-Verlag has launched a new book series entitled Advanced Information and Knowledge Processing covering the state-of-the-art in this area. The series publishes books on new designs and applications of advanced information and knowledge processing paradigms in areas such as business, defense, education, engineering, health, management, and science. Areas covered include sample applications like artificial life-based systems, biometrical authentication, negotiating e-commerce systems, information evaluation, information fusion, knowledge-based software engineering, machine intelligence, ontologies, tutoring systems, virtual reality, and many more. Books in the series have a strong focus on information processing - combined with, or extended by, new results from adjacent sciences.
The large-scale and almost ubiquitous availability of information has become as much of a curse as it is a blessing. The more information is available, the harder it is to locate any particular piece of it. And even when it has been successfully found, it is even harder still to usefully combine it with other information we may already possess. This problem occurs at many different levels, ranging from the overcrowded disks of our own PCs to the mass of unstructured information on the World Wide Web. It is commonly understood that this problem of information sharing can only be solved by giving computers better access to the semantics of the information. While it has been recognized that ontologies play a crucial role in solving the open problems, most approaches rely on the existence of well-established data structures. To overcome these shortcomings, Stuckenschmidt and van Harmelen describe ontology-based approaches for resolving semantic heterogeneity in weakly structured environments, in particular the World Wide Web. Addressing problems like missing conceptual models, unclear system boundaries, and heterogeneous representations, they design a framework for ontology-based information sharing in weakly structured environments like the Semantic Web. For researchers and students in areas related to the Semantic Web, the authors provide not only a comprehensive overview of the State of the art, but also present in detail recent research in areas like ontology design for information integration, metadata generation and management, and representation and management of distributed ontologies. For professionals in areas such as e-commerce (e.g., the exchange of product knowledge) and knowledge management (e.g., in large and distributed organizations), the book provides decision support on the use of novel technologies, information about potential problems, and guidelines for the successful application of existing technologies.
