BOEMIE: Bootstrapping Ontology Evolution with Multimedia Information Extraction (2006-2009)
Abstract:
BOEMIE will pave the way towards automation of the process of knowledge acquisition from multimedia content, by introducing the notion of
evolving multimedia ontologies which will be used for the extraction of information from multimedia content in networked sources, both public and
proprietary. BOEMIE advocates a synergistic approach that combines multimedia extraction and ontology evolution in a bootstrapping process involving,
on the one hand, the continuous extraction of semantic information from multimedia content in order to populate and enrich the ontologies and,
on the other hand, the deployment of these ontologies to enhance the robustness of the extraction system.
BOEMIE will develop a new methodology for extraction and evolution, using a rich multimedia semantic model, and realized as an open architecture.
The architecture will be coupled with the appropriate set of tools, implementing the advanced methods that will be developed in BOEMIE.
Furthermore, BOEMIE aims to initiate a new research activity on the automation of knowledge acquisition from multimedia content, through ontology evolution.
The resulting technology has a wide range of applications in commerce, tourism, e-science, etc. During the project, the technology will be evaluated through the development of an automatic content collection and annotation service for public events in a number of major European cities. The extracted semantic information will enrich a digital map, which will provide a friendly interface to the end user.

Masther Thesis: Cost-Efficient Web Service Compositions
Abstract:
In the near future, description logic reasoning services will be offered as web services and intial versions of, for instance, OWL QL web services have
already been developed. Due to the proliferation of web services that offer the same functionality, the problem of selecting a particular service binding
in order to minimizing resource consumption in a particular web service composition has emerged.
The question is: Which server to select for a specific service invocation?
In this thesis optimization techniques for web service compositions involving multiple reasoning service invocations is discussed. In particular,
WS compositions are investigated that define a large-scale inference process, where each WS partner of the composition provides
reasoning services over (possibly heterogeneous) ontologies. The optimization problem in this context is expressed in terms of a configuration problem
in which candidate web services become objects to be combined such that they satisfy certain criteria.
