Scalable methods to analyze Semantic Web data

Abstract

Semantic Web data is currently being heavily used as a data representation format in scientific communities, social networks, business companies, news portals and other domains. The irruption and availability of Semantic Web data is demanding new methods and tools to efficiently analyze such data and take advantage of the underlying semantics. Although there exist some applications that make use of Semantic Web data, advanced analytical tools are still lacking, preventing the user from exploiting the attached semantics.
