Urban infrastructure assets perform critical functions to the health and well-being of the society. In this paper, we present a prototype decision support system for sustainable subsurface inter-asset manageme...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The growing number of available data graphs in the form of RDF Linked Data enables the development of semantic exploration applications in many domains. Often, the users are not domain experts and are therefo...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper presents a computational model for measuring diversity in terms of variety, balance and disparity. This model is informed by the Stirling’s framework for understanding diversity from social science ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Assessing the Underworld (ATU) is a large interdisciplinary UK research project, which addresses challenges in integrated inter-asset maintenance. As assets on the surface of the ground (e.g. roads or pavement...

Chapter and Conference Paper
In the culture domain, questionnaires are often used to obtain profiles of users for adaptation. Creating questionnaires requires subject matter experts and diverse content, and often does not scale to a varie...
Chapter and Conference Paper
There are growing arguments that linked data technologies can be utilised to enable user-oriented exploratory search systems for the future Internet. Recently, search over linked data has been studied in diffe...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The rapidly growing learning simulations market calls urgently for innovative ways to facilitate the simulation design process [1],[2]. Social spaces can provide an extensive source of reports on individuals’ ...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Social web provides rich content for gaining an understanding about the users which can empower adaptation. There is a current trend to extract user profiles from social media content using semantic augmentati...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This paper presents a knowledge representation approach to modelling and manipulating spatio-temporal data and to grounding a spatio-temporal geographic ontology upon the data. This approach has been developed...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This demonstration will present a system, called I-CAW, which aggregates content from social spaces into a semantic-enriched data browser to promote informal learning. The work pioneers a new way to interact w...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Modern learning models require linking experiences in training environments with experiences in the real-world. However, data about real-world experiences is notoriously hard to collect. Social spaces bring ne...
Chapter and Conference Paper
This research considers the application of simulated environments for adult training, and adopts the view that effective adaptive solutions for adults should be underpinned by appropriate adult learning theori...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Humans tend to interpret a temporal series of geographical spatial data in terms of geographical processes. They also often ascribe certain properties to processes (e.g. a process may be said to accelerate). Give...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Recent work on ontology engineering has seen the adoption of controlled natural languages to ease the process of ontology authoring. However, CNL-based tools still require good knowledge engineering skills to ...

The effectiveness of personalized support provided to virtual communities depends on what we know about a particular community and in which areas the community may need support. Following organizational psycho...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Some of today’s most widely spread applications are social systems where people can form communities and share knowledge. However, knowledge sharing is not always effective and communities often do not sustain...
