The books (LNCS 6088 and 6089) constitute the refereed proceedings of the 7th European Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2010, held in Heraklion, Crete, Greece, in May/June 2010. The 52 revised full papers of the research track presented together with 10 PhD symposium papers and 17 demo papers were carefully reviewed and selected from more than 245 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on mobility track, ontologies and reasoning track, semantic web in use track, sensor networks track (part I), and services and software track, social web track, web of data track, demo and poster track, PhD symposium (part II).

The Semantic Web: Research and Applications

7th Extended Semantic Web Conference, ESWC 2010, Heraklion, Crete, Greece, May 30 - June 2, 2010, Proceedings

This volume contains papers from the technical program of the 7th Extended Semantic Web Conference (ESWC 2010), held from May 30 to June 3, 2010, in Heraklion, Greece. ESWC 2010 presented the latest results in research and applications of Semantic Web technologies. ESWC 2010 built on the success of the former European Semantic Web Conference series, but sought to extend its focus by engaging with other communities within and outside Information and Communication Technologies, in which semantics can play an important role. At the same time, ESWC has become a truly international conference. Semantics of Web content, enriched with domain theories (ontologies), data about Web usage, natural language processing, etc., will enable a Web that p- vides a qualitatively new level of functionality. It will weave together a large network of human knowledge and make this knowledge machine-processable. Various automated services, based on reasoning with metadata and ontologies, will help the users to achieve their goals by accessing and processing infor- tion in machine-understandable form. This network of knowledge systems will ultimately lead to truly intelligent systems, which will be employed for va- ous complex decision-making tasks. Research about Web semantics can bene?t from ideas and cross-fertilization with many other areas: arti?cial intelligence, natural language processing, database and information systems, information - trieval, multimedia, distributed systems, social networks, Web engineering, and Web science.

This book constitutes a collection of research achievements mature enough to provide a firm and reliable basis on modular ontologies. It gives the reader a detailed analysis of the state of the art of the research area and discusses the recent concepts, theories and techniques for knowledge modularization. The 13 papers presented in this book were all carefully reviewed before publication. They have been organized in three parts: Part I gives a general introduction to the idea and issues characterizing modularization and offers an in-depth analysis of properties, criteria and knowledge import techniques for modularization. Part II describes four major research proposals for creating modules from an existing ontology either by partitioning an ontology into a collection of modules or by extracting one or more modules from the ontology. Part III reports on collaborative approaches where modules that pre-exist are linked together through mappings to form a virtual large ontology.

Just like the industrial society of the last century depended on natural resources, today’s society depends on information and its exchange. Staab and Stuckenschmidt structured the selected contributions into four parts: Part I, "Data Storage and Access", prepares the semantic foundation, i.e. data modelling and querying in a flexible and yet scalable manner. These foundations allow for dealing with the organization of information at the individual peers. Part II, "Querying the Network", considers the routing of queries, as well as continuous queries and personalized queries under the conditions of the permanently changing topological structure of a peer-to-peer network. Part III, "Semantic Integration", deals with the mapping of heterogeneous data representations. Finally Part IV, "Methodology and Systems", reports experiences from case studies and sample applications. The overall result is a state-of-the-art description of the potential of Semantic Web and peer-to-peer technologies for information sharing and knowledge management when applied jointly.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 42nd German Conference on Artificial Intelligence, KI 2019, held in Kassel, Germany, in September 2019. The 16 full and 10 short papers presented together with 3 extended abstracts in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 82 submissions. KI 2019 has a special focus theme on "AI methods for Argumentation" and especially invited contributions that use methods from all areas of AI to understand, formalize or generate argument structures in natural language.

Durch die Entwicklung des Semantic Web finden Ontologien große Beachtung. Inzwischen stehen auch Technologien zur Verfügung, die die Verwendung von Ontologien in Informationssystemen ermöglichen. Beginnend mit den grundlegenden Ontologie-Konzepten aus Philosophie und Linguistik stellt der Autor den aktuellen Stand im Bereich unterstützender Technologien dar und zeigt vielversprechende Anwendungsgebiete auf. Für Leser, die Interesse an Ontologien als Teil der Informationstechnologie haben und sich einen schnellen Einstieg in das Gebiet wünschen.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management, EKAW 2012, held in Galway City, Ireland, in October 2012. The 44 revised full papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 107 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on knowledge extraction and enrichment, natural language processing, linked data, ontology engineering and evaluation, social and cognitive aspects of knowledge representation, application of knowledge engineering, and demonstrations.
