The advances of the Linked Open Data LOD initiative are giving rise to a more structured Web of data. Indeed, a few datasets act as hubs e.g., DBpedia connecting many other datasets. They also made possible new Web services for entity detection inside plain text e.g.,i¾?DBpedia Spotlight, thus allowing for new applications that can benefit from a combination of the Web of documents and the Web of data. To ease the emergence of these new applications, we propose a query-biased algorithm LDRANK for the ranking of web of data resources with associated textual data. Our algorithm combines link analysis with dimensionality reduction. We use crowdsourcing for building a publicly available and reusable dataset for the evaluation of query-biased ranking of Web of data resources detected in Web pages. We show that, on this dataset, LDRANK outperforms the state of the art. Finally, we use this algorithm for the construction of semantic snippets of which we evaluate the usefulness with a crowdsourcing-based approach.
@cite_20: With the development of the Semantic Web, more and more ontologies are available for exploitation by semantic search engines. However, while semantic search engines support the retrieval of candidate ontologies, the final selection of the most appropriate ontology is still difficult for the end users. In this paper, we extend existing work on ontology summarization to support the presentation of ontology snippets. The proposed solution leverages a new semantic similarity measure to generate snippets that are based on the given query. Experimental results have shown the potential of our solution in this problem domain that is largely unexplored so far.
@cite_20 , the authors first identify a topic thanks to an off-line hierarchical clustering algorithm. Next, they compute a list of RDF sentences (i.e. sets of connected RDF statements) semantically close to the topic. Finally, they rank the selected RDF statements by considering both structural properties of the RDF graph and lexical features of the terms present in the ontology (by way of a Wordnet-based similarity measure).
