Talk Title: On-the-fly Integration of Static and Dynamic Linked Data

Abstract: The relevance of many types of data perishes or degrades
over time; to support timely decision-making, data integration systems
must provide access to live data and should make it easy to incorporate
new sources. We outline methods, based on web architecture that enable
(near) real-time access to data sources in a variety of formats and access
modalities. Our methods also enable rapid integration of new live sources
by modeling them with respect to a domain ontology, and by using these
models to generate a Linked Data interface to access them. Finally, we
present initial experimental results of a scenario involving several static
and dynamic sources from the web.

Biography: Dr. Andreas Harth is a post-doctoral researcher at Institute AIFB at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. His research interests are large-scale data interoperation on the Semantic Web, Linked Data, knowledge representation, computational logic and user interaction on web data. Andreas has published several dozen papers in these areas, and is author of a number of open source software systems. Recently, he has become interested in how to apply (RESTful) architectures and Read-Write Linked Data to cyber-physical systems (e.g., smart energy grids, surgery systems, mixed-reality systems).
Andreas was awarded his Ph.D. by the Digital Enterprise Research Institute (DERI) at the National University of Ireland, Galway. Andreas worked as intern at Fraunhofer Gesellschaft in Wuerzburg and at IBM's Silicon Valley Lab in San Jose, CA. His Diplom thesis was carried out in collaboration with Centro Politenico Superior at Universidad de Zaragoza, Spain. He visited USC's Information Sciences Institute in Marina del Rey, CA as a research assistant.
Andreas has participated in numerous EU and national projects. He served as program committee member of numerous conferences and is one of the co-organisers of the Consuming Linked Data (COLD) workshop series and of the Semantic Web Challenge.
