  Implementing semantics-aware services, which includes semantic Web services, requires novel techniques for modeling and analysis. The problems include automated support for service discovery, selection, negotiation, and composition. In addition, support for automated service contracting and contract execution is crucial for any large scale service environment where multiple clients and service providers interact. Many problems in this area involve reasoning, and a number of logic-based methods to handle these problems have emerged in the field of Semantic Web Services. In this paper, we lay down theoretical foundations for service modeling, contracting, and reasoning, which we call ServLog, by developing novel techniques for modeling and reasoning about service contracts with the help of Concurrent Transaction Logic. With this framework, we significantly extend the modeling power of the previous work by allowing expressive data constraints and iterative processes in the specification of services. This approach not only captures typical procedural constructs found in established business process languages, but also greatly extends their functionality, enables declarative specification and reasoning about services, and opens a way for automatic generation of executable business processes from service contracts.

  A comprehensive strategy combining remote sensing and field data can be helpful for more effective agriculture management. Satellite data are suitable for monitoring large areas over time, while LiDAR provides specific and accurate data on height and relief. Both types of data can be used for calibration and validation purposes, avoiding field visits and saving useful resources. In this paper, we propose a process for objective and automated identification of agricultural parcel features based on processing and combining Sentinel-2 data (to sense different types of irrigation patterns) and LiDAR data (to detect landscape elements). The proposed process was validated in several use cases in Spain, yielding high accuracy rates in the identification of irrigated areas and landscape elements. An important application example of the work reported in this paper is the European Union (EU) Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) funds assignment service, which would significantly benefit from a more objective and automated process for the identification of irrigated areas and landscape elements, thereby enabling the possibility for the EU to save significant amounts of money yearly.

  The telecommunication industry has been undergoing tremendous changes in recent times. It is obvious that the industry is currently going through an identity crisis. Porter’s Five Forces analysis is used in this paper to investigate the current state of the telecommunication industry in Norway today. The dwindling voice revenue of telcos necessitates the race to find the next revenue stream. This study explores the potential of mobile big data as a resource for telcos to gain competitive advantage with the VRIO Framework (Value-Rare-Imitability-Organization) from the Resources-based View(RBV) theory. Multiple case studies with embedded units that are explanatory and exploratory are applied to Norwegian telcos, following an inductive approach. This study finds that the outlook of the telecommunication industry is rather bleak and despite its promises, mobile big data can only provide temporary competitive advantage to the telcos. Mobile big data is valuable, rare and the telcos are organizing their other resources around it to exploit it, however mobile big data is imitable and not unique. The same data can be obtained by their peers in the industry. Instead, the interview data collected from qualitative research in this study has pointed to organizational culture as the resource that can provide sustained competitive advantage to the telcos. In a highly-competitive industry such as the telecommunication industry, telcos have to constantly rely on resources that can give them temporary competitive advantage; the ability to do this will ultimately be a resource itself that will give them sustained competitive advantage. Telcos have to constantly mix, match and reconfigure their different resources and capabilities to address a rapidly changing environment.

  Data preparation is the process of collecting, cleaning and consolidating raw datasets into cleaned data of certain quality. It is an important aspect in almost every data analysis process, and yet it remains tedious and time-consuming. The complexity of the process is further increased by the recent tendency to derive knowledge from very large datasets. Existing data preparation tools provide limited capabilities to effectively process such large volumes of data. On the other hand, frameworks and software libraries that do address the requirements of big data, require expert knowledge in various technical areas. In this paper, we propose a dynamic, service-based, scalable data preparation approach that aims to solve the challenges in data preparation on a large scale, while retaining the accessibility and flexibility provided by data preparation tools. Furthermore, we describe its implementation and integration with an existing framework for data preparation – Grafterizer. Our solution is based on Apache Spark, and exposes application programming interfaces (APIs) to integrate with external tools. Finally, we present experimental results that demonstrate the improvements to the scalability of Grafterizer.

  To achieve the necessary level of accuracy when measuring air pollution for scientific purposes, expensive and complicated instrumentation is required. Consequently, only federal, local governments and some industries, collect data of sufficient quality for research, and only for a small number of Air Quality components. This limitation makes it difficult to implement added value services, such as exposure and health assessments. Furthermore, due to increasing urban and peri-urban population density and consequent rise in air pollution, Air Quality management problems are becoming more complex. As a result, there is a vital need for enhanced Air Quality and exposure monitoring capabilities. This has been severely hampered by the high cost of traditional monitoring stations and the lack of high resolution data.

  Linked data has emerged as an interesting technology for Publishing structured data on the Web but also as a powerful mechanism for integrating disparate data sources. Various tools and approaches have been developed in the semantic Web community to produce and consume linked data, however little attention has been paid to monetization of linked data. In this paper we introduce a data marketplace – proDataMarket – that enables data providers to generate, advertise, and sell linked data, and data consumers to purchase linked data on the marketplace. The marketplace was originally designed with a focus on geospatial linked data (targeting property-related data providers and consumers) but its capabilities are generic and can be used for data in various domains. This demo will highlight the capabilities offered to the providers and consumers of the data made available on the marketplace.

  Earthquakes, landslides, and other natural hazard events have severe negative socio-economic impacts. Among other consequences, those events can cause damage to infrastructure networks such as roads and railways. Novel methodologies and tools are needed to analyse the potential impacts of extreme natural hazard events and aid in the decision-making process regarding the protection of existing critical road and rail infrastructure as well as the development of new infrastructure. Enabling uniform, integrated, and reliable access to data on historical failures of critical transport infrastructure can help infrastructure managers and scientist from various related areas to better understand, prevent, and mitigate the impact of natural hazards on critical infrastructures. This paper describes the construction of the InfraRisk ontology for representing relevant information about natural hazard events and their impact on infrastructure components. Furthermore, we present a software prototype that visualizes data published using the proposed ontology.

  The Norwegian State of Estate (SoE) report includes information about all Norwegian state-owned properties and buildings in the public sector and aims to assist government decision makers to allocate resources more effectively. A Linked Data based approach is presented here to increase the transparency in the government administration, improve the report generating process and also the report quality. Cross- domain government data originated from the business entity register, the cadastral system, the building accessibility register and the old SoE report are acquired, prepared, cleaned, transformed to Linked Data format and published. The source datasets are then integrated, augmented and interlinked before the results are published as a SPARQL endpoint, used for data visualization and report generation.

The domain ontology model is a key input to the approach and is enriched by new knowledge extracted from the regulatory text. This semantic technology enhanced rule extraction approach standardized the rule extraction process by covering the whole lifecycle from regulatory text to executable rules. It is based on the open standards and applies open source tools and thereby portable and extendable. It conforms to the open BIM principle to support knowledge sharing cross domains and disciplines. The approach is also adaptable to other types of regulatory rules in the building industry.

  This paper presents the Norwegian State of Estate (SoE) dataset containing data about real estates owned by the central government in Norway. The dataset is produced by integrating cross-domain government datasets including data from sources such as the Norwegian business entity register, cadastral system, building accessibility register and the previous SoE report. The dataset is made available as Linked Data. The Linked Data generation process includes data acquisition, cleaning, transformation, annotation, publishing, augmentation and interlinking the annotated data as well as quality assessment of the interlinked datasets. The dataset is published under the Norwegian License for Open Government Data (NLOD) and serves as a reference point for applications using data on central government real estates, such as generation of the SoE report, searching properties suitable for asylum reception centres, risk assessment for state-owned buildings or a public building application for visitors.

  Subterranean infrastructure damages caused by excavation works of all kinds are costly and potentially dangerous for workers. Such damages are often caused by poor subterranean data or inappropriate use of the existing data. We aim to provide solutions and services that will hinder obstacles related to the use of subterranean infrastructure data to ensure less damage and less time spent on finding and integrating data about subterranean infrastructure. The result of the work reported in this paper is an augmented reality application that can provide users the ability to see what subterranean infrastructure is located at a given physical location. In this paper we demonstrate a method to create such an application using Linked Data technologies.

  One essential and challenging task in data science is data cleaning - the process of identifying and eliminating data anomalies. Different data types, data domains, data acquisition methods, and final purposes of data cleaning have resulted in different approaches in defining data anomalies in the literature. This paper proposes and describes a set of basic data anomalies in the form of anomaly patterns commonly encountered in tabular data, independently of the data domain, data acquisition technique, or the purpose of data cleaning. This set of anomalies can serve as a valuable basis for developing and enhancing software products that provide general-purpose data cleaning facilities and can provide a basis for comparing different tools aimed to support tabular data cleaning capabilities. Furthermore, this paper introduces a set of corresponding data operations suitable for addressing the identified anomaly patterns and introduces Grafterizer - a software framework that implements those data operations

  The amount of open and free satellite earth observation data combined with available data from other sectors (e.g. biodiversity, landscape elements, cadaster data) has the potential to enhance decisionmaking processes in various domains. An example of such a domain is agriculture, where the ability to objectively and automatically identify dfferent types of agricultural features (e.g., irrigation patterns and landscape elements) can lead to more effective agriculture management. In this paper we show the possibility to publish and integrate multi-sectoral data from several sources into an existing data-intensive service targeting better and fairer Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) funds assignments to farmers and land owners. We show an end-to-end approach for integrating multi-sectoral data and publishing the result as Linked Data with the help of the DataGraft platform. To demonstrate the use of the resulted dataset, we developed a visualization system prototype showing various information about agricultural parcel features.

  Data sharing presents extensive opportunities and challenges in domains such as the public sector, health care and financial services. This paper introduces the concept of "trusted data marketplaces" as a mechanism for enabling trusted sharing of data. It takes credit scoring-an essential mechanism of the entire world-economic environment, determining access for companies and individuals to credit and the terms under which credit is provisioned-as an example for the realization of the trusted data marketplaces concept. This paper looks at credit scoring from a data perspective, analyzing current shortcomings in the use and sharing of data for credit scoring, and outlining a conceptual framework in terms of a trusted data marketplace to overcome the identified shortcomings. The contribution of this paper is two-fold: (1) identify and discuss the core data issues that hinder innovation in credit scoring; (2) propose a conceptual architecture for trusted data marketplaces for credit scoring in order to serve as a reference architecture for the implementation of future credit scoring systems. The architecture is generic and can be adopted in other domains where data sharing is of high relevance.

  This case study is focused on the impact of big data in exploration and production of oil & gas in the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Overall, the industry is currently transitioning from mere data collection practices to more proactive uses of data, especially in the operations area. Positive economical impacts associated with the use of big data comprise data generation and data analytics business models, commercial partnerships around data, and the embracement of open data by the Norwegian regulator. On the negative side there are concerns regarding the future of existing business models and the reluctance of oil companies to share data. Positive social and ethical impacts include mitigation of safety and environment concerns with big data, personal privacy not really a problem, and creation of new jobs for data scientists; on the other hand cyberthreats are becoming a serious concern and there are trust issues with data.

  Many different open information sources currently exist for protecting the environment in Europe, mainly focused on Natura 2000 network, and areas where environmental protection and activities like tourism need to be balanced. Managing these data and integrating them for supporting decision makers and for novel uses is a challenging task. The SmartOpenData project (2013-1015) aims to define mechanisms for acquiring, adapting and using Open Data provided by existing sources for environment protection in European protected areas. Through target pilots in these areas, the project will harmonise metadata, improve spatial data fusion and visualisation and publish the resulting information according to user requirements and Linked Open Data principles to provide new opportunities for use. SmartOpenData will be based on previous experiences of Habitats project, which defined models and tools for managing spatial data in environmental protection areas. This paper provides an introduction to the SmartOpenData with a specific focus on the motivation, goals, and technical focus of the project, and outlines the architecture of the approach taken by SmartOpenData.

  The Tragsa Group is part of the group of companies administered by the Spanish state-owned holding company Sociedad Estatal de Participaciones Industriales (SEPI). Its 37 years of experience have placed this business group at the forefront of different sectors ranging from agricultural, forestry, livestock, and rural development services, to conservation and protection of the environment in Spain. Tragsa is currently developing a business case around the implementation of a Common Agriculture Policy Assignment Service (CAPAS) – an extension of a currently active and widely used service (more than 20 million visits per year). The extension of the service in this business case is based on leveraging new cross-sectorial data sources, and targets a substantial reduction of incorrect agricultural funds assignments to farmers and land owners. This paper provides an overview of the business case, technical challenges related to the implementation of CAPAS (in areas such as data integration), discusses the current solution and potential use of rule technologies.

  Service-oriented computing has brought special attention to service description, especially in connection with semantic technologies. The expected proliferation of publicly accessible services can benefit greatly from tool support and automation, both of which are the focus of Semantic Web Service (SWS) frameworks that especially address service discovery, composition and execution. As the first SWS standard, in 2007 the World Wide Web Consortium produced a lightweight bottom-up specification called SAWSDL for adding semantic annotations to WSDL service descriptions. Building on SAWSDL, this article presents WSMO-Lite, a lightweight ontology of Web service semantics that distinguishes four semantic aspects of services: function, behavior, information model, and nonfunctional properties, which together form a basis for semantic automation. With the WSMO-Lite ontology, SAWSDL descriptions enable semantic automation beyond simple input/output matchmaking that is supported by SAWSDL itself. Further, to broaden the reach of WSMO-Lite and SAWSDL tools to the increasingly common RESTful services, the article adds hRESTS and MicroWSMO, two HTML microformats that mirror WSDL and SAWSDL in the documentation of RESTful services, enabling combining RESTful services with WSDL-based ones in a single semantic framework. To demonstrate the feasibility and versatility of this approach, the article presents common algorithms for Web service discovery and composition adapted to WSMO-Lite.

  A number of past and current research and development projects aim to improve the sharing and use of environmental information. In 2010, the Environmental Infrastructures and Platforms (ENVIP) initiative was introduced as a means to identify the European potentials and specify common building blocks (‘services and enablers’) related to these projects. Work began with a set of projects supporting the Shared Environmental Information System (SEIS). This paper briefly summarizes the ongoing result collection and introduces the next wave of activities, which will follow two newly emerging trends: Citizens Observatories and Linked Open Data. We invite interested parties and project consortia to provide their contributions for future analysis and synergies through the CEN/TC287 TR 15449-2 Best practices registry and the ENVIP initiative

  Extracting integration rules to handle semantic heterogeneity is one of the main challenges of achieving seamless connectivity between distributed systems. Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR)’s machine and human readability and platform independence make it potentially suitable and interesting to study, as a central semantic hub of different systems. Semantic heterogeneity can be identified by comparing and analyzing vocabularies, fact models and business rules in the hub. Integration rules can then be extracted based on the semantic heterogeneity analysis. This article investigates and evaluates the usage of SBVR in heterogeneous systems integration. It provides a real- life case study and experience report on extracting integration rules based on an analysis of two Norwegian public sector’s heterogeneous IT-systems modeled in SBVR.

  With Norway being one of the few countries outside of the English speaking world with a clear governmental strategy and commitment to open data, combined with one of the highest Internet penetration and mobile access in Europe, it offers interesting opportunities for becoming a great testbed for consuming Linked Open Data (LOD). With this paper we aim at presenting potential applications consuming Norwegian LOD and showing practical benefits of aggregating open data in highly sensitive domains for governments and the general public such as regional development and environmentally friendly behaviour. At the same time, this paper will serve as an overview of the Norwegian LOD as of mid 2011. The proposed applications will not only aim at demonstrating the benefits of the current Norwegian LOD, but will also make contributions to the improvement and extension of the existing data sets.

  The ENVISION Portal is a Web-enabled infrastructure for the discovery, annotation, and composition of environmental services. It is a tool to create Web sites dedicated to particular domain-specific scenarios such as oil spill drift modeling or landslide risk assessment. The underlying architecture based on pluggable user interface components is briefly discussed, followed by a presentation of the components resulting from the first iteration of the implementation. A walkthrough explains how to create a scenario website and populate it with the user interface components required for one specific scenario. The paper concludes with a discussion of open challenges identified during the implementation.

  Service modeling is a key element of any service-oriented system. It is the foundation on which core service-related tasks such as service discovery, composition, and mediation rely. During the past years standardization bodies such as W3C, OMG and OASIS have been working on standardizing various aspects of services such as service functionalities, behavior, quality of services, etc. At the same time, initiatives from academia focused on developing ontologies and formal languages for specifying services. In this paper we give a brief overview of relevant initiatives and standardization activities in the area of service modeling, and, as an example of the use of such standards, guide the reader through the use of the OMG Service oriented architecture Modeling Language (SoaML) in a concrete service-oriented scenario in the manufacturing domain.

  With the B2B data exchange becoming ubiquitous nowadays, automating as much as possible the exchange of data between collaborative enterprise systems is a key requirement for ensuring agile interoperability and scalability in B2B collaborations. Semantic differences and inconsistencies between conceptual models of the exchanged B2B data hinder agility, and ultimately the interoperability in B2B collaborations. In this paper we introduce a model-driven technique and prototype that support humans in reconciling the differences between the data models of the parties involved in a data exchange, and enable a high degree of automation in the end-to-end data exchange process. Our approach is based on the use of OMG Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) for abstracting platform-specific schemas and instances to platform-independent metamodels and models, specification of transformations at the platform-independent level, and generation of executable mappings for run-time data exchange. This paper presents the MDA-based data exchange framework we have developed, and focuses on the mapping metamodel and the generation of executable mappings from platform-independent transformations. Benefits of the proposed framework include the possibility of the mappings creator to focus on the semantic, object-oriented model behind the different platformspecific schemas and specify the mappings at a more abstract, semantic level, with both specification and execution of data mappings (i.e. design- and run-time mapping) provided in a single, unifying framework.

  We present our ideas of an open Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platform for monitoring, mapping and managing our environment. The envisioned solution bridges the gap between the Internet of Things, Content and Services, and highly specific applications, such as oil spill detection or marine monitoring. On the one hand, this environmental platform should be open to new technologies; on the other hand, it has to provide open standard interfaces to various application domains. We identify core components, standards, and needs for new standard development in ICT for environment. We briefly outline how our past and present activities contribute to the development of the desired open environmental platform. Future implementations shall contribute to sustainable developments in the environmental domain.

  Visualizing Resource Description Framework (RDF) data to support decision-making processes is an important and challenging aspect of consuming Linked Data. With the recent development of JavaScript libraries for data visualization, new opportunities for Web-based visualization of Linked Data arise. This paper presents an extensive evaluation of JavaScript-based libraries for visualizing RDF data. A set of criteria has been devised for the evaluation and 15 major JavaScript libraries have been analyzed against the criteria. The two JavaScript libraries with the highest score in the evaluation acted as the basis for developing LODWheel (Linked Open Data Wheel) – a prototype for visualizing Linked Open Data in graphs and charts – introduced in this paper. This way of visualizing RDF data leads to a great deal of challenges related to data-categorization and connecting data resources together in new ways, which are discussed in this paper.

Full text in Research Archive. Show summary

  As data exchange and model transformation become ubiquitous nowadays, it is a key requirement to improve interoperability of enterprise systems at the semantic level. Many approaches in Model-driven Architecture (MDA) and Model-driven Interoperability (MDI) emerge to fulfil the above requirement. However, most of them still demand significant user inputs and provide a low degree of automation, especially when it comes to finding the mappings. A generic approach that can easily handle both semantic interoperability and automatic transformation is currently missing. This paper presents AutoMapping, a semi-automatic model transformation architecture. This approach focuses on two aspects: 1) semi-automatic mapping between data models expressed as class diagrams by involving minimal user interactions at design-time; 2) generation of executable mappings. Particularly at design-time, a semantic engine that solves various kinds of semantic attribute mismatches is devised, such as type, scale, synonym, homonym, granularity, etc. Furthermore, a heuristic-based similarity analysis between each pair of classes is proposed, which takes all relations of classes into account, such as inheritance, reference, etc. Finally, a method is given to match fragments and then generate mappings specification that conforms the proposed mapping metamodel for solving existing semantic mismatches. The main contribution of this paper is to create a generic platform-independent approach for semi- automatic model transformation towards semantic interoperability, with tool-based implementation and motivating case experiment, showing the feasibility of using MDA and MDI techniques for semantic

  This talk will present novel techniques for modeling and reasoning about service contracts with the help of Concurrent Transaction Logic and introduce a unifying framework called UniLFS — a Unifying Logical Framework for Service modeling and contracting. This framework significantly extends the modeling power of the previous works by allowing expressive data constraints and iterative processes in the specification of services. This approach not only captures typical procedural constructs found in established business process languages such as BPMN, but also greatly extends their functionality, enables declarative specification and reasoning about them, and opens a way for automatic generation of executable business processes from service contracts.
