Publication: On the formulation of performant SPARQL queries

On November 15, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: On the formulation of performant SPARQL queries

The combination of the flexibility of RDF and the expressiveness of SPARQL provides a powerful mechanism to model, integrate and query data. However, these properties also mean that it is nontrivial to write performant SPARQL queries. Indeed, it is quite easy to create queries that tax even the most optimised…

Publication: Scientific Lenses to Support Multiple Views over Linked Chemistry Data

When are two entries about a small molecule in different datasets the same? If they have the same drug name, chemical structure, or some other criteria? The choice depends upon the application to which the data will be put. However, existing Linked Data approaches provide a single global view over…

Publication: Scientific Lenses over Linked Data: An approach to support task specific views of the data. A vision.

On November 12, 2012, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,,,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: Scientific Lenses over Linked Data: An approach to support task specific views of the data. A vision.

Within complex scientific domains such as pharmacology, operational equivalence between two concepts is often context-, user- and task-specific. Existing Linked Data integration procedures and equivalence services do not take the context and task of the user into account. We present a vision for enabling users to control the notion of operational…
