Semantic Grid practical

Pinar Alper and Oscar Corcho

Contents:

Introductory practical: development of semantically-enabled sticky notes, extending the work done in the GT4 tutorial.
Advanced practical: exploring the possibility of including lifetime information for the semantic metadata generated for sticky notes.

The practical will involve extending the implementation provided for the GT4 sticky note tutorial. Sticky notes will be created with associated semantics in the form of RDF triples based on a RDFS ontology. Each note will be associated with a type of event according to an event domain model, will have different information about the contents, etc. Users will be able to query community indices according to this model in order to retrieve notes in such a way that reasoning will be required.

Ms. Pinar Alper (MPhil, MSc)

Pinar Alper (MPhil, MSc.) works as a Research Associate in the Information Management Group, University of Manchester. She currently participates in the EU FP6 IST project OntoGrid (FP6-511513), and has participated in UK e-Science pilot project myGrid. Her research work focuses on application of semantics in the areas of Web Services and the service oriented Grid. Particularly her focus is on semantically enabled service description and discovery.
