Pablo Abella Vallina's FOAF File

As I'm member of WESO Research Group and we try to spread the Semantic Web around the world, our partner César thought that it would be interesting to publish a RDF file with our personal data using the FOAF vocabulary.

This is a well known vocabulary that is used in lots of semantic web applications because it provides a very usefull and meaningfull way for publishing personal data.

In the following link you can view the RDF/XML file describing me using the FOAF vocabulary.

Tadej Stajner research

The other day, Labra shared with us some research work made by Tadej Štajner. I found very interesting two of his papers, related with entity resolution and desambiguation. I think it would be very interesting for both BCN mediator and Periodicis (the first of the papers bases his research in news archives).

I left you the links below:
This is a very short paper, but it explains very well the problem about find related news with a certain topic.
Story link detection with entity resolution

In this second paper, Štajner describes some methods for indetifying and resolving entities from structured data using semi-structure background knowledge database.

Hello research world!

This is the first post of this blog in which I will show my research work. I'm doing my research in computer science at the University of Oviedo, being a member of WESO Research Group.

I will try to submit new posts each week showing some reviews of research papers related with my work.

Hope you enjoy reading me!
