Canadian Semantic Web

The emergence of Web technologies for the distribution of an immense amount of data and knowledge has given rise to the need for supportive frameworks for kno- edge management. Semantic Web technologies aim at providing shared semantic spaces for Web contents, such that people, applications and communities can use a common platform to share information. Canadian Semantic Web: Technologies and Applications aims at contributing to the advancement of the Semantic Web by providing the most recent signi?cant - search on Semantic Web theory, techniques and applications in academia, industry and government in Canada and all over the world. It also enlightens possible - mantic Web research directions in future by reporting some works in-progress that presenton-goingresearchonprinciplesandapplicationsoftheSemanticWeb,while their implementation or deployment may have not been completed. This book consists of ten chapters. The chapters are extended versions of a - lected set of papers from the second Canadian Semantic Web Working Symposium (CSWWS 2009) and the twenty-?rst international Conference on Software En- neering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE 2009). CSWWS 2009 was held in Kelowna, British Columbia in May 2009. Since many of the challenging aspects of the research problems tackled in the Semantic Web area fall in the realm of Ar- ?cial Intelligence or employ of AI techniques, CSWWS 2009 was organized in - nd sociation with the 22 Canadian Conference on Arti?cial Intelligence.

Introduces the most recent advanced working theories, prototypes and applications Provides a special focus on applications of semantic web technology on electronic health Provides contents on semantic web technologies for both researchers and practitioners

Klappentext

The emergence of Web technologies for data and knowledge interaction gives rise to the need for supportive frameworks for knowledge distribution. Semantic Web technologies aim at providing shared semantic spacesfor Web contents, such that people, applications and communities can use a common platform to share information. Also, many of the challenging aspects of the research problems tackled in the Semantic Web area fall in the realm of artificial intelligence or employment of AI techniques.

* Canadian Semantic Web: Technologies and Applications* is an edited volume contributed by worldwide leaders in Semantic Web research, and was based on the May 2009, Canadian Semantic Web Symposium, Kelowna, BC. This volume will introduce the most advanced working theories, prototypes and applications on; AI technologies in the Semantic Web, Languages, tools and methodologies for the Semantic Web, Searching, querying, visualizing and interpreting the Semantic Web, Semantic Web-based Knowledge Management, Semantic Grid and semantic Grid services, Trust, privacy, security on the Semantic Web and more. A special focus on applications of semantic web technology on electronic health.
