An Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development Plug-In for Desktop Protégé 5

Our plug-in extends the Protégé Ontology Editor (link is external) by a set of useful features for Aspect-Oriented Ontology Development, such as

  1. Definition of pointcuts using the SPARQL (link is external) query language.
  2. An inference service extension for aspect-oriented ontologies that infers entailments caused by the presence of aspects.

Provalets

Provalets are rule-based software agents that act as inference component providing rule-based data access, processing and analytics functionalities using the Prova rule engine and language. Provalets are automatically deployed in trusted OSGi component run-time environments such as OSGI-compliant smart edge devices, as well as more centralized cloud infrastructures, ESBs or agent frameworks. The component-based agent model of Provalets allows encapsulating data intensive routines and rule-based analytic, decision and reaction logic at the component (e.g. device) level, ensuring, e.g., interface-based access, data/information hiding and privacy.

RoleDisc Plugin for Confluence

RoleDisc is a plugin that provides Role Discovery features within the collaborative software Confluence. Still in a prototype phase, the plugin provides a visual representation of the users who worked on each page as well as a global graph that shows the interactions between users and assigns roles to each one of them. Future releases will also mine the content of the pages to provide deeper insights about the activities of all actors in the system.

Extreme Tagging

Tagging has become the most common way of annotating information and knowledge in a wide range of applications. The activity of tagging consists in creating an association between a resource (information) and another entity (a tag). (more)

Trend Mining Ontology

Trendontologies improve the quality of automated trend detection. We used a knowledge-based approach and utilized formalized expert knowledge which we used to model three lightweight trend ontologies. (more)

RDF Preprocessing

In order to retrieve RDF-triples from a text stream, we have to preprocess texts. Our preprocessing component uses statistical parser from Stanford University and creates a timeline with parsed texts. (more)

leoné - a Light-weight Editor of Ontologies for Non-Experts

At the moment some ontology editors are available to model ontologies in research and industry, e.g., Protegé, TopBraid Composer, and OntoStudio. However, these tools are too complex and offer too much functionality that even experts in semantic technologies can hardly operate them properly. In contrast, our work focuses on developing an easy-to-use and light-weight ontology editor which can be used by non-experts w.r.t. semantic technologies. (more)
