    Context-Based Entity Matching for Big Data
    (Cham : Springer, 2020) Tasnim, Mayesha; Collarana, Diego; Graux, Damien; Vidal, Maria-Esther; Janev, Valentina; Graux, Damien; Jabeen, Hajira; Sallinger, Emanuel
    In the Big Data era, where variety is the most dominant dimension, the RDF data model enables the creation and integration of actionable knowledge from heterogeneous data sources. However, the RDF data model allows for describing entities under various contexts, e.g., people can be described from its demographic context, but as well from their professional contexts. Context-aware description poses challenges during entity matching of RDF datasets—the match might not be valid in every context. To perform a contextually relevant entity matching, the specific context under which a data-driven task, e.g., data integration is performed, must be taken into account. However, existing approaches only consider inter-schema and properties mapping of different data sources and prevent users from selecting contexts and conditions during a data integration process. We devise COMET, an entity matching technique that relies on both the knowledge stated in RDF vocabularies and a context-based similarity metric to map contextually equivalent RDF graphs. COMET follows a two-fold approach to solve the problem of entity matching in RDF graphs in a context-aware manner. In the first step, COMET computes the similarity measures across RDF entities and resorts to the Formal Concept Analysis algorithm to map contextually equivalent RDF entities. Finally, COMET combines the results of the first step and executes a 1-1 perfect matching algorithm for matching RDF entities based on the combined scores. We empirically evaluate the performance of COMET on testbed from DBpedia. The experimental results suggest that COMET accurately matches equivalent RDF graphs in a context-dependent manner.

    SDM-RDFizer: An RML Interpreter for the Efficient Creation of RDF Knowledge Graphs
    (New York City, NY : Association for Computing Machinery, 2020) Iglesias, Enrique; Jozashoori, Samaneh; Chaves-Fraga, David; Collarana, Diego; Vidal, Maria-Esther
    In recent years, the amount of data has increased exponentially, and knowledge graphs have gained attention as data structures to integrate data and knowledge harvested from myriad data sources. However, data complexity issues like large volume, high-duplicate rate, and heterogeneity usually characterize these data sources, being required data management tools able to address the negative impact of these issues on the knowledge graph creation process. In this paper, we propose the SDM-RDFizer, an interpreter of the RDF Mapping Language (RML), to transform raw data in various formats into an RDF knowledge graph. SDM-RDFizer implements novel algorithms to execute the logical operators between mappings in RML, allowing thus to scale up to complex scenarios where data is not only broad but has a high-duplication rate. We empirically evaluate the SDM-RDFizer performance against diverse testbeds with diverse configurations of data volume, duplicates, and heterogeneity. The observed results indicate that SDM-RDFizer is two orders of magnitude faster than state of the art, thus, meaning that SDM-RDFizer an interoperable and scalable solution for knowledge graph creation. SDM-RDFizer is publicly available as a resource through a Github repository and a DOI.
