Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which data contained in the web documents are machine-understandable.
On the other hand, Web Services provide a new model of the web in which sites exchange dynamic information on demand.

Ontology mapping involves the task of finding similarities among overlapping sources by using ontologies. In a Federated System in which distributed, autonomous and heterogeneous information sources must be integrated, ontologies have emerged as tools to solve semantic heterogeneity problems. In…

El presente artículo describe un sistema de adquisición de datos para un medidor de deformación. Se presenta el análisis del diseño de la circuitería y la programación, los resultados obtenidos y finalmente algunas conclusiones.

This article describes strategies devised to improve the efficiency of two classical index data structures for parallel textual databases. The design and cost evaluation is effected on top of the bulk-synchronous model of parallel computing. This allows us to compare…

Se comprobó el efecto antiulcerogénico del extracto crudo hidroalcólico (70%) de las hojas de Aster squamatus (ECH) frente a úlceras inducidas por etanol, indometacina y estrés
provocado por el frío. El ECH (500 y 1000mg/kg) redujo el índice de la…

This document describes a research and development project - Semantic Web and Cooperative Problem Solving for Online Communities of Practice. The aim of the project is to build a system supporting Cooperative Problem Solving within the framework of online Communities…

Software tools processing partially common set of data should share an understanding of what these data mean. Since ontologies have been used to express formally a shared understanding of information, we argue that they can be used to improve integration…

El objeto de este estudio fue el aislamiento y la caracterización de atranorina, uno de los principales constituyentes presentes en Cladina dendroides (des Abb.) y analizar su efecto antinociceptivo. La actividad antinociceptiva fue verificada por medio del ensayo en ratones…

Applying design patterns is considered a helpful technique for designing software systems.
Patterns description, however, results not sufficiently precise providing a weak understanding and making it difficult to be certain when a pattern is being used correctly. We have formally…

During recent years, new software engineering paradigms like component-based software engineering and COTS-based development have emerged. Both paradigms are concerned with reuse and customisation of existing components. The use of COTS software has become more and more important in state-of-the-art…
