A case analysis of semantic technologies for R&D intermediation information management

Abstract

a b s t r a c tIt is evident that companies and research centres can find a myriad of instruments to fund their R&D (Research & Development) activities. Due to the dynamics of the information management in these circumstances there is a need for intermediary businesses intervention. Consequently, intermediary companies are thus involved in a complex process that needs to be managed and controlled. Within this scenario an Information Technology (IT) platform, named RDi-Advise, was developed by EgeoIT using semantic technologies to support R&D process decisions. This case analysis describes the development and implementation of the platform including the lessons learned during the activity period.

Semantic Data Integration Approaches for E-Governance

“…These challenges of informed decisions on policy issues underscored the need to rationalize various sources, sets and levels of data that are available to policy makers in various domains. EgeoIT's RDi-Advise kind of tools [38] that are developed for R & D intermediation information management using semantic technologies can be considered as a pilot study tool for the selection of 'quango' model partnership evaluation too.…”

“…It provides a programmatic environment for RDF, RDFS and OWL, SPARQL and includes a rule-based inference engine. Both ontology schemas and its populated instances are stored in theKAON2ontology repository, an infrastructure for managing OWL-DL ontologies [38]. The reasoning is obtained because of the vocabulary relationship expressed in the form of a parent-child relationship and also based on transitive dependency relationship.…”

Personalized Subject Learning Based on Topic Detection and Canonical Correlation Analysis

“…Due to its efficiency and effectiveness, such a breakthrough meets the practical demands in the fields of Community Question Answering (CQA) [36], social link management [37,38], learning for personal environment or R&D activities [39,40,41], preschool cognitive growth and hence, a distinguished patent has been granted [17].…”

Research on Improving the Technological Innovation Capability of SMEs by University - Industry Collaboration

“…At the same time, enterprises can timely feed back market information to universities and research institutes who can have timely access to a wealth of practical information and experience, and enhance the targeted purpose discipline construction and professional development [8]. Then experts and professors of universities and research institutes can not only concentrate on research and development according to market demand, can also participate in the whole process of technological innovation including the new products and new technology's idea, project, research and development, batch test and marketing.…”
