| - | ===== Interactive maps of the ULB campuses ===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | This project aims at developing a platform hosting interactive maps of the main campuses of the ULB. These maps will be a convenient guide for students, staff and visitors helping them to reach our campuses, to find buildings or lectures halls and to locate the main facilities (e.g. bike racks, car parks, restaurants, sanitary facilities, etc.). These maps will also be very useful for disabled people allowing them to prepare their visit in advance by identifying accessible routes and facilities. The maps will be then integrated into the new website of the ULB. | ||
| - | This project is a unique opportunity to contribute directly to improving the quality of the experience on campus and to work towards a “smart campus”. | ||
| - | This project will be developed in collaboration with the Environment and Mobility Service of the ULB. A detailed description of the project can be found {{:teaching:mfe:interactivemaps.pdf|here}}. | ||

| - | =====Publishing and Using Spatio-temporal Data on the Semantic Web===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | [[http://www.w3c.org/|RDF]] is the [[http://www.w3c.org/|W3C]] proposed framework for representing information | ||
| - | in the Web. Basically, information in RDF is represented as a set of triples of the form (subject,predicate,object). RDF syntax is based on directed labeled graphs, where URIs are used as node labels and edge labels. The [[http://linkeddata.org/|Linked Open Data]] (LOD) initiative is aimed at extending the Web by means of publishing various open datasets as RDF, setting RDF links between data items from different data sources. Many companies and government agencies are moving towards publishing data following the LOD initiative. | ||
| - | In order to do this, the original data must be transformed into Linked Open Data. Although most of these data are alphanumerical, most of the time they contained a spatial or spatio-temporal component, that must also be transformed. This can be exploited | ||
| - | by application providers, that can build attractive and useful applications, in particular, for devices like mobile phones, tablets, etc. | ||
| - | |||
| - | The goals of this thesis are: (1) study the existing proposals for mapping spatio-temporal data into LOD; (2) apply this mapping to a real-world case study (as was the case for the [[http://www.oscb.be/|Open Semantic Cloud for Brussels]] project; (3) Based on the produced mapping, and using existing applications like the [[http://linkedgeodata.org/|Linked Geo Data project]], build applications that make use of LOD for example, to find out which cultural events are taking place at a given time at a given location. | ||
