TL;DR: This analysis shows that, while there is still some way to go before semantic annotation tools will be able to address fully all the knowledge management needs, research in the area is active and making good progress.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that with its Web-metaphor, adherence to OWL recommendations and key unique features, such as Collaborative Annotation using Annotea, Swoop acts as a useful and efficient Web Ontology development tool.

TL;DR: A framework for aligning and merging biomedical ontologies (SAMBO), a first step towards a general framework that can be used for comparative evaluations of alignment strategies and their combinations and compared SAMBO with two other systems.

TL;DR: Semantic Web Mining aims at combining the two fast-developing research areas Semantic Web and Web Mining as mentioned in this paper. But the full potential of this convergence is not yet realized, and the authors of this paper give an overview of where the two areas meet today and sketches ways of how a closer integration could be profitable.

TL;DR: An approach called Risk Minimization based Ontology Mapping (RiMOM) is proposed, which automates the process of discoveries on 1:1, n: 1, 1:null and null:1 mappings and uses thesaurus and statistical technique to deal with the problem of name conflict in mapping process.

TL;DR: This paper presents a syntactic and semantic extension of the Web Ontology language that covers E-Connections of OWL-DL ontologies, and shows how to use such an extension as an alternative to the owl:imports construct in many modeling situations.

TL;DR: The level of human involvement required for mapping concepts of the source ontologies to their intended meanings is explored and it is concluded that, although an effective fully automated process is not attainable, the process can be carried out efficiently with minimum human involvement.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Foundational Model of Anatomy (FMA) from its representation with frames in Protege to its logical representation in OWL and their experience in reasoning with it is described.

TL;DR: A Reference Architecture is proposed that extends OGSA to support the explicit handling of semantics, and defines the associated knowledge services to support a spectrum of service capabilities.

TL;DR: SWAN is a project to develop an effective, integrated scientific knowledge infrastructure for Alzheimer Disease researchers, enabled by Semantic Web technology and deployed on Alzforum (www.alzforum.org), a scientific web community for AD research.

TL;DR: A decidable extension of OWL DL, called OWL-Eu, that supports customised datatypes and a detailed proof of the decidability of OWC Semantic Web Best Practices and Development Working Group has been presented.

TL;DR: A matchmaking framework for service discovery in Grid environments based on three selection stages which are context, semantic and registry selection is proposed, which provides a better service discovery process by using semantic descriptions stored in ontologies which specify both the Grid services and the application knowledge.

TL;DR: A simplified query tool, Ontoligent Interactive Query (OntoIQ) that allows the user to browse and build queries from a selection of query patterns and ontology content, and discusses the challenges encountered during the development of semantic infrastructure for fungal enzyme biotechnologists.

TL;DR: An overview of the major ontological components of the SEEK project, SEEK (''Science Environment for Ecological Knowledge''), is presented, and a discussion of potential applications of these ontologies on the Semantic Web is presented.

TL;DR: An implementation of a Semantic Web infrastructure that utilizes the scalable Oracle Resource Description Framework (RDF) Data Model as the repository and Seamark Navigator for browsing and searching the data is described.

TL;DR: The CombeChem e-Science project has demonstrated the advantages of using Semantic Web technology, in particular RDF and the associated triplestores, to describe and link diverse and complex chemical information covering the whole process of the generation of chemical knowledge from inception in the synthetic chemistry laboratory.

TL;DR: This Dagstuhl Seminar brought together world-leading experts from the diverse organizations and research areas to realize the vision of the Semantic Grid.

TL;DR: ConFOTO, a browsing and annotation service for conference photos which combines current web trends such as data sharing and collaborative tagging with Resource Description Framework (RDF) system advantages like unrestricted aggregation and ontology re-use is described.

TL;DR: This paper builds on prior experiences with both agents and grids to illustrate the benefits of bringing agents into the mix to provide the ingredients to create the fabric for a new generation of distributed intelligent systems.

TL;DR: GOHSE applies COHSE to Bioinformatics, using the Gene Ontology (GO) as an ontology and associated keyword mappings and GO associations as link targets and the resulting demonstrator provides both glossary functionality and the possibility of building knowledge based hypertext structures linking bio informatics resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Basic Formal Ontology (BFO) to describe the IPAP Schizophrenia Algorithm and showed how it can be used in Semantic Web applications.

TL;DR: The use of semantic web technology and Description Logic for facilitating the integration of molecular pathway data, illustrated by an Web Ontology Language (OWL)-based transformation of a more complex pathway structure into a simpler one (HPRD).

TL;DR: Overall, this special issue shows that the life sciences can benefit from the semantic web, and usecases are encouraging to move to the next step in which real, scalable semantic web applications for the life Sciences are built.

TL;DR: A prototypical system is implemented with the corresponding functionality in the area of digital music of MusicBrainz and the use of recommendation mechanisms as a basis for supporting information access.

TL;DR: This describes an extension to the Resource Description Framework/Schema (RDF/S) [RDF Vocabulary] to specify relations between parts of the same whole (composite structure), and proposes a small taxonomy of part-whole relations specifically for application with part-part relations.

TL;DR: Fuzzy SWRL as discussed by the authors is a fuzzy extension to SWRL to include fuzzy assertions such as ‘Mary is tall in the degree of 0.9' and fuzzy rules such as "being healthy is more important than being rich to determine if one is happy".
