Industrialized construction has raised the requirements of procurement methods used in the construction industry. The rapid development of e-commerce offers efficient and effective solutions, however the large number of participants in the construction industry means that the data involved are complex, and problems arise related to volume, heterogeneity, and fragmentation. Thus, the sector lags behind others in the adoption of e-commerce. In particular, data integration has become a barrier preventing further development. Traditional e-commerce platform, which considered data integration for common product data, cannot meet the requirements of construction product data integration. This study aimed to build an information-integrated e-commerce platform for industrialized construction procurement (ICP) to overcome some of the shortcomings existing platforms. We proposed a platform based on Building Information Modelling (BIM) and linked data, taking an innovative approach to data integration. It uses industrialized construction technology to support product standardization, BIM to support procurement process, and linked data to connect different data sources. The platform was validated using a case study. With the development of an e-commerce ontology, industrialized construction component information was extracted from BIM models and converted to Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. Related information from different data sources was also converted to RDF format, and Simple Protocol and Resource Description Framework Query Language (SPARQL) queries were implemented. The platform provides a solution for the development of e-commerce platform in the construction industry.

Objective: Most of the current search engines follow informal keyword based search. Finding the user intention and improving the relevancy of results are the major issues faced by the current traditional keyword based search. Targeting to solve the problems of traditional search and to boost the retrieval process, a framework for semantic based information retrieval is planned. Methods: Social and wine ontologies are used to find the user intention and retrieving it. User’s natural language queries are translated into SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol and Resource Description Framework query language) query for finding related items from those ontologies.Results: The proposed method makes a significant improvement over traditional search in terms of some searches required for searching a particular number of pages using performance graph.Conclusion: Semantic based search can understand the user intention and gives better results than traditional search.

AbstractThe Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a flexible model for representing information about resources on the Web. As a W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Recommendation, RDF has rapidly gained popularity. With the widespread acceptance of RDF on the Web and in the enterprise, a huge amount of RDF data is being proliferated and becoming available. Efficient and scalable management of RDF data is therefore of increasing importance. RDF data management has attracted attention in the database and Semantic Web communities. Much work has been devoted to proposing different solutions to store RDF data efficiently. This paper focusses on using relational databases and NoSQL (for ‘not only SQL (Structured Query Language)’) databases to store massive RDF data. A full up-to-date overview of the current state of the art in RDF data storage is provided in the paper.

Penelitian ini mengusulkan tentang desain baru dari ontologi untuk tanaman obat Indonesia berdasarkan konsep morfologi. Morfologi adalah studi yang mempelajari tentang karakteristik tumbuhan. Dalam penelitian ini menggunakan morfologi sebagai konsep pengetahuan. Ontologi merupakan model pengetahuan yang mendefinisikan hubungan dan klasifikasi dari beberapa konsep dalam domain tertentu. <em>Resource description framework</em> (RDF) dan <em>web ontology language</em> (OWL) digunakan dalam merepresentasikan ontologi. SPARQL protocol and <em>RDF query language</em> (SPARQL) digunakan untuk <em>query</em> data. Protégé 4.3 digunakan untuk memodelkan ontologi tanaman obat. Hasil dari pemodelan ontologi tumbuhan obat dapat diterapkan ke sistem semantik web tanaman obat Indonesia.<br /><br />Kata kunci: morfologi, ontologi, tumbuhan obat
