ABSTRACT
Many applications have been developed in the area of semantic data integration. However little or no usability practices are in the place to make such applications useful. This paper presents our experiences in building ARCH Data Integration Framework. ARCH combines usability issues with semantic web technologies in order to provide an efficient and user-friendly mapping process. The conducted usability evaluations on ARCH have shown that this tool efficiently supports users dealing with data matching.

MINTE: semantically integrating RDF graphs
WIMS '17: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Web Intelligence, Mining and SemanticsThe nature of the RDF data model allows for numerous descriptions of the same entity. For example, different RDF vocabularies may be utilized to describe pharmacogenomic data, and the same drug or gene is represented by different RDF graphs in DBpedia ...
