Open Services on the Web
Techreport ID: kmi-09-05

Author(s): Maria Maleshkova
The goal of the here described research is to explore the possibilities of combining Semantic Web technologies and fundamental Web principles, including URIs and HTTP, and to apply these on open services on the Web, in order to contribute to a Semantic Web, which is not only an extension of the current Web with more semantic descriptions of data but is rather more dynamic and seamlessly integrates services as sources of that data, which can be automatically discovered, composed and executed by the computer on behalf of its user. This document is the first year probation report of this PhD study on open services on the Web.

Semantic Web and Knowledge Services is...
Our research in the Semantic Web area looks at the potentials of fusing together advances in a range of disciplines, and applying them in a systemic way to simplify the development of intelligent, knowledge-based web services and to facilitate human access and use of knowledge available on the web. For instance, we are exploring ways in which tnatural language interfaces can be used to facilitate access to data distributed over different repositories. We are also developing infrastructures to support rapid development and deployment of semantic web services, which can be used to create web applications on-the-fly. We are also investigating ways in which semantic technology can support learning on the web, through a combination of knowledge representation support, pedagogical theories and intelligent content aggregation mechanisms. Finally, we are also investigating the Semantic Web itself as a domain of analysis and performing large scale empirical studies to uncover data about the concrete epistemologies which can be found on the Semantic Web. This exciting new area of research gives us concrete insights on the different conceptualizations that are present on the Semantic Web by giving us the possibility to discover which are the most common viewpoints, which viewpoints are mutually inconsistent, to what extent different models agree or disagree, etc...
Our aim is to be at the forefront of both theoretical and practical developments on the Semantic Web not only by developing theories and models, but also by building concrete applications, for a variety of domains and user communities, including KMi and the Open University itself.
