ABSTRACT
We demonstrate Sig.ma, both a service and an end user application to access the Web of Data as an integrated information space.
Sig.ma uses an holistic approach in which large scale semantic web indexing, logic reasoning, data aggregation heuristics, ad hoc ontology consolidation, external services and responsive user interaction all play together to create rich entity descriptions. These consolidated entity descriptions then form the base for embeddable data mashups, machine oriented services as well as data browsing services. Finally, we discuss Sig.ma's peculiar characteristics and report on lessions learned and ideas it inspires.

Using semantic web technologies for knowledge management in e-commerce applications
ACS'11: Proceedings of the 11th WSEAS international conference on Applied computer scienceThe scope of the paper is to present a model for knowledge management using Semantic Web technologies in e-commerce applications. Knowledge management refers to the representation, processing and sharing of knowledge. We will represent knowledge for an ...
