THE SEMANTIC WEB
DEMO HOUR
LUIGI DE RUSSIS
SUMMARY
SOME TOOLS
how to write, visualize and query an ontology?
SOME OTHER PROJECTS
recent projects involving Semantic Web technologies
RESEARCH AREAS
current research areas in the Semantic Web
TOOLS
PROTÉGÉ
protégé is one of the (few) application for modeling ontologies.
It is Java-based, extensible, and provides a plug-and-play environment. It
is released for all the desktop platforms and offers a web client.
protégé is actively maintained by the Stanford Center for Biomedial
Informatics Research.

PROTÉGÉ
ANZO FOR EXCEL
Anzo is an Excel plugin to associate an ontology to some Excel data.one
of the (few) application for modeling ontologies.
It is a commercial product.

NOTEPAD (AND SIMILAR)
JELLY-ONT
Jelly-Ont is a touch-based mobile ontology browser, realized as an
Android app.
It is under active development by the e-Lite research group at
Politecnico di Torino.
An apk for Android 4.x is available for download (tested on a 10’’
tablet).

OTHER PROJECTS
THE LINKING OPEN DATA CLOUD
DIAGRAM
The Open Data Movement aims at making data freely available to
everyone. There are already various interesting open data sets available
on the Web (such as Wikipedia, Geonames or MusicBrainz).
The goal of the W3C Linked Open Data community project is to extend
the Web with data commons by publishing various open data sets as
RDF and by setting RDF links between them.
Upon this dataset, a LOD cloud diagram has been developed (http://lodcloud.net).

LOCCIONI LEAF ISLAND
Loccioni Group is an Italian company, located near Ancona, Marche. Its
main area of interest is quality control, industrial automation and
management of energy processes.
The company has a strong R&D area. Recently, they are experimenting
the idea of a Leaf Community (http://energy.loccioni.com/sustainablecommunity/), an area where people live in zero-emissions homes, can
use electrical and hydrogen-powered cars, children go to solar-powered
schools, etc.
LOCCIONI LEAF ISLAND
The Leaf Island is a prototype for an energy management software
system for the Leaf Community.
Such a prototype is powered by the Leaf Ontology, which comprises
both Smart Grid reference models and Building Automation concepts.
The goal is to assess the energetic independence of the Loccioni
microgrid and eventually acting on the appropriate devices to enforce it,
thus minimizing energy exchanges with the bulk energy supply.
DOGONT
DogOnt is an ontology for Intelligent Domotic Environment.
It is able to face interoperation issues allowing to describe where a
device is located, the set of its capabilities, the technology-specific
features needed to interface it, etc.
It is a research product of the e-Lite research group at Politecnico di
Torino.

RESEARCH AREAS
RESEARCH AREAS
SCALABLE REASONING
reasoning has always been an hot topic in the Semantic Web
community
there is increasing demand for reasoners that can scale into billions of
triples and handle messy data
SPARQL PERFORMANCE
high performance SPARQL engine
RESEARCH AREAS
LINKED DATA “SCIENCE”
how interact with Linked Data? how consume it? how useful is it?
What kind of quality is expected?
SEMANTIC SENSOR STREAMS
how can Semantic Web technologies help to make sense of data streams
produced by the various Internet-connected devices?
can such streams be reasoned and queried?
RESEARCH AREAS
VISUALIZATION/UI
how to effectively interact with ontologies, RDF documents, …?
