This open access book explores cutting-edge solutions and best practices for big data and data-driven AI applications for the data-driven economy. It provides the reader with a basis for understanding how technical issues can be overcome to offer real-world solutions to major industrial areas. The book starts with an introductory chapter that provides an overview of the book by positioning the following chapters in terms of their contributions to technology frameworks which are key elements of the Big Data Value Public-Private Partnership and the upcoming Partnership on AI, Data and Robotics. The remainder of the book is then arranged in two parts. The first part "Technologies and Methods" contains horizontal contributions of technologies and methods that enable data value chains to be applied in any sector. The second part "Processes and Applications" details experience reports and lessons from using big data and data-driven approaches in processes and applications. Its chapters are co-authored with industry experts and cover domains including health, law, finance, retail, manufacturing, mobility, and smart cities. Contributions emanate from the Big Data Value Public-Private Partnership and the Big Data Value Association, which have acted as the European data community's nucleus to bring together businesses with leading researchers to harness the value of data to benefit society, business, science, and industry. The book is of interest to two primary audiences, first, undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers in various fields, including big data, data science, data engineering, and machine learning and AI. Second, practitioners and industry experts engaged in data-driven systems, software design and deployment projects who are interested in employing these advanced methods to address real-world problems.

The book at hand re?ects on the increasing convergence of Social Media and Semantic Web technologies. It was the editors' intention to collect - to-date and high quality contributions that illustrate various approaches to this young and emerging technology area. To guarantee this we invited be- of authors from the international conferences I-SEMANTICS and I-KNOW from the years 2007 & 2008 that took place in Graz / Austria to prepare - tended contributions that illustrate this agile and fast-evolving development and hint at trends that might accompany us for the years to come. More than 60 authors from 12 countries with either academic or industrial ba- ground provided us with 20 articles covering a broad range of topics related to frameworks, applications and concrete use cases. After more than a year of preparation we would like to thank all authors for sharing their experiences and insights with the reader. We also would like to thank them for their motivation, dedication and creativity uncompla- inglyincludingourfeedbackintotheircontributionstherebyensuringthehigh qualityofthebook.

This book constitutes revised selected papers from the 13th International Conference on Data Integration in the Life Sciences, DILS 2018, held in Hannover, Germany, in November 2018.The 5 full, 8 short, 3 poster and 4 demo papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 22 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: big biomedical data integration and management; data exploration in the life sciences; biomedical data analytics; and big biomedical applications.

Linked Open Data (LOD) is a pragmatic approach for realizing the Semantic Web vision of making the Web a global, distributed, semantics-based information system. This book presents an overview on the results of the research project "LOD2 -- Creating Knowledge out of Interlinked Data". LOD2 is a large-scale integrating project co-funded by the European Commission within the FP7 Information and Communication Technologies Work Program. Commencing in September 2010, this 4-year project comprised leading Linked Open Data research groups, companies, and service providers from across 11 European countries and South Korea. The aim of this project was to advance the state-of-the-art in research and development in four key areas relevant for Linked Data, namely 1. RDF data management; 2. the extraction, creation, and enrichment of structured RDF data; 3. the interlinking and fusion of Linked Data from different sources and 4. the authoring, exploration and visualization of Linked Data.

Die Herausgeber und Autoren fuhren praxisnah in neue Methoden und Technologien des (Meta-)Daten-Managements fur die Vernetzung und Integration verteilter, heterogener Datenbestande ein. Dabei werden die neuen Technologien und Methoden von bereits etablierten Ansatzen deutlich abgegrenzt, ihre Potenziale und auch ihre Grenzen klar benannt. Vor allem Semantic-Web-Technologien, deren betrieblicher Einsatz anhand anschaulicher Fallstudien erlautert wird, spielen eine zentrale Rolle."
