For this aim an effective approach is the adoption of a product configurator. The product configuration is the activity of customising a product to meet the needs of a particular customer that, usually, expresses his/her preferences by the use of the natural language. In this scenario a challenging problem is the definition of a common vocabulary that opens possibilities such as the ability to express the customer requirements and to exchange knowledge. For this aim the adoption of the ontological formalism is an effective approach. Ontology, in fact, is a key factor for enabling interoperability across heterogeneous systems, services and users. This paper presents an ontology-based configurator system that maximally satisfies users' needs starting from the desired requirements, the available components, the context information and previous similar configurations.","PeriodicalId":111629,"journal":{"name":"Int.

For resolving semantic problems we propose a security global solution for the new generation of SCADA systems. The proposed solution aims at protecting critical semantic SCADA processes from the effects of major failures and semantic vulnerabilities in the modern IT-SCADA network. We used a security block in the global network access point, security protocols deployed in different network OSI levels and security ontologies deployed in security devices. We used our mixed coordinates ECC cryptography solution, this is an encryption technology developed specifically for low latency embedded applications. We integrated security mechanisms in specific SCADA protocols as Modbus. Moreover, we made use of the WS-Security framework and we crypt and signed all the improved security protocols frames with our mixed ECC and a hash function.","PeriodicalId":111629,"journal":{"name":"Int.

We propose an approach based on LOD, which moves the focus from the systems handling the data to the data themselves with the main goal of increasing the level of interoperability of geolinguistic applications and the reuse of the data. We defined an extensible ontology for geolinguistic resources based on the common ground defined by current European linguistic projects. We provide a Geolinguistic Linked Open Dataset based on the data case study of a linguistic project named ASIt. Finally, we show a geolinguistic application, which exploits this dataset for dynamically generating linguistic maps.","PeriodicalId":111629,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Metadata Semant.

This paper deals with the evaluation of the quality of data managed by eScience applications. Our approach is based on data provenance, i.e. the history of the origins and transformations applied to a given data product. Our contributions include a the specification of a framework to track data provenance and use it to derive quality information, b a model for data provenance based on the Open Provenance Model, and c a methodology to evaluate the quality of data based on its provenance.

Although analysis patterns can facilitate the work of analysts and developers, the access to them is still very poor because of the way they are usually described and made available. In order to reduce these limitations as well as to support the cataloguing and to encourage the reuse of analysis patterns, the Analysis Patterns Reuse Infrastructure (APRI) was proposed. This infrastructure comprises a repository of analysis patterns documented through a specific metadata profile that can be accessed via web services. Based on the proposal of APRI, this paper introduces a machine-processable metadata profile suited to the documentation of analysis patterns, called Dublin Core Application Profile for Analysis Patterns (DC2AP). This metadata profile is described by RDF files identified via URI, thus providing linked data that increase the potential for reusing the analysis patterns.","PeriodicalId":111629,"journal":{"name":"Int.

While there are many techniques for automatic annotation based on image content analysis, less work has utilised image metadata as a basis for image tagging. We investigate the ability to automatically tag images based solely on image metadata, and present a novel approach to image tagging using a combination of the metadata geo-location, date/time and category keyword. We aim to collect relevant tags for a target image by selecting tags from related images on a community image collection, such as Flickr. Contributions of our approach are the use of dynamic techniques that adapt tag selection to the availability of relevant images and tags in the community collection. Through testing we demonstrate the usefulness of the techniques and the use of metadata information in the image tagging process.","PeriodicalId":111629,"journal":{"name":"Int. J. Metadata Semant.
