The Semantic Web promises that the pools of semantic data it interweaves together will enable people to find information that they could not otherwise find by revealing knowledge not explicitly visible in the distributed source data.  In order for this promise to be fulfilled within the humanities, the Semantic Web data being created must have certain features, but what are they? This article provides some background on Semantic Web inferencing and then argues that there are three things that humanists can do to prepare their data to participant in this sort of inference generation: add more data, reciprocate links across repositories, and add metadata specifically to support inferencing.

Semantic Web database is an RDF database due to increased use of Semantic Web in real life applications; one can find heavy growth in RDF database. As there is a tremendous increase in RDF data, performance and scalability issues are of main concern. This chapter discusses improving and scaling up query performance for increasingly growing Semantic Web. It discusses current Semantic Web data storage techniques, which have been found to scale poorly and have poor query performance. It discusses the partitioning techniques vertical and horizontal partitioning to improve query performance. To further improve the query performance, along with these partitioning techniques, various compression techniques can also be used. Relational data offers faster execution of queries as compared to RDF data. To demonstrate these ideas, semantic data is converted to relational data and then query performance improvement techniques are applied. The scaling up of Semantic Web data is also discussed.

Data stream learning has been largely studied for extracting knowledge structures from continuous and rapid data records. In the semantic Web, data is interpreted in ontologies and its ordered sequence is represented as an ontology stream. Our work exploits the semantics of such streams to tackle the problem of concept drift i.e., unexpected changes in data distribution, causing most of models to be less accurate as time passes. To this end we revisited (i) semantic inference in the context of supervised stream learning, and (ii) models with semantic embeddings. The experiments show accurate prediction with data from Dublin and Beijing.

Drug discovery is a lengthy, expensive and difficult process. Indentifying and understanding the hidden relationships among drugs, genes, proteins, and diseases will expedite the process of drug discovery. In this paper, we propose an effective methodology to discover drug-related semantic relationships over large-scale distributed web data in medicine, pharmacology and biotechnology. By utilizing semantic web and distributed system technologies, we developed a novel hierarchical knowledge abstraction and an efficient relation discovery protocol. Our approach effectively facilitates the realization of the full potential of harnessing the collective power and utilization of the drug-related knowledge scattered over the Internet.
