Big Data technology has discarded traditional data modeling approaches as no longer applicable to distributed data processing. It is, however, largely recognized that Big Data impose novel challenges in data and infrastructure management. Indeed, multiple components and procedures must be coordinated to ensure a high level of data quality and accessibility for the application layers, e.g., data analytics and reporting. In this paper, the third of its kind co-authored by members of IFIP WG 2.6 on Data Semantics, we propose a review of the literature addressing these topics and discuss relevant challenges for future research. Based on our literature review, we argue that methods, principles, and perspectives developed by the Data Semantics community can significantly contribute to address Big Data challenges.
... Bergamaschi et al. [21] contend that keyword search over relational databases is still a considerable challenge, despite the effort that the research community has put in the field in the last fifteen years and the significant number of scientific publications and prototypes developed. The authors discuss two main issues that have hampered the design and development of next generation systems for keyword search over structured data: (i) the lack of systemic approaches that account for all the issues of keyword search, from the interpretation of user needs to the computation, retrieval, ranking and presentation of the results; and (ii) the absence of a shared and complete evaluation methodology measuring user satisfaction, achieved utility and required effort for carrying out informative tasks. ...

The Web is the main channel for circulating information in modern society. Such information can be found in various storage media, therefore an interface is needed to retrieve it. As a simple and effective technique, keyword-based querying has proved ideal for this purpose and has become the interaction standard between users and the Web. However, most of the information found on the Web is currently stored in relational databases, and such repositories offer limited support for keyword-based queries. Performing queries in relational databases requires knowledge of storage structures and syntax of a structured language, and both are not familiar to the majority of users. Given keyword-based queries, this study presents a method that integrates search and selection of relational databases available on the Web, and semantic query processing to retrieve relevant information to the user.

The Energy Community Platform (ECP) is a modular system conceived to promote a conscious use of energy by the users inside local energy communities. It is composed of two integrated subsystems: the Energy Community Data Platform (ECDP), a middleware platform designed to support the collection and the analysis of big data about the energy consumption inside local energy communities, and the Energy Community Tokenization Platform (ECTP), which focuses on tokenizing processed source data to enable incentives through smart contracts hosted on a decentralized infrastructure possibly governed by multiple authorities. We illustrate the overall design of our system, conceived considering some real-world projects (dealing with different types of local energy community, different amounts and nature of incoming data, and different types of users), analyzing in detail the key aspects of the two subsystems. In particular, the ECDP acquires data of different nature in a heterogeneous format from multiple sources and supports a data integration workflow and a data lake workflow, designed for different uses of the data. We motivate our technological choices and present the alternatives taken into account, both in terms of software and of architectural design. On the other hand, the ECTP operates a tokenization process via smart contracts to promote good behavior of users within the local energy community. The peculiarity of this platform is to allow external parties to audit the correct behavior of the whole tokenization process while protecting the confidentiality of data and the performance of the platform. The main strengths of the presented system are flexibility and scalability (guaranteed by its modular architecture), which allow its applicability to any type of local energy community.

Keyword-based query specification to extract data from structured databases has attracted considerable attention from various researchers, and many interesting proposals may be found in the scientific literature. However, many of these studies focus on finding a set of interconnected tuples containing all or some of the query keywords. The architecture introduced by this paper covers from the selection of databases on the Web to ranked relevant results. The approach also includes important aspects such as the proximity between keywords, query segmentation, and the use of aggregate functions, among others. The empirical evaluation analyzes the relevance of results and proves competitive as regards related studies.

With the progress of new technologies of information and communication, more and more producers of data exist. On the other hand, the web forms a huge support of all these kinds of data. Unfortunately, existing data is not proper due to the existence of the same information in different sources, as well as erroneous and incomplete data. The aim of data integration systems is to offer to a user a unique interface to query a number of sources. A key challenge of such systems is to deal with conflicting information from the same source or from different sources. We present, in this paper, the resolution of conflict at the instance level into two stages: references reconciliation and data fusion. The reference reconciliation methods seek to decide if two data descriptions are references to the same entity in reality. We define the principles of reconciliation method then we distinguish the methods of reference reconciliation, first on how to use the descriptions of references, then the way to acquire knowledge. We finish this section by discussing some current data reconciliation issues that are the subject of current research. Data fusion in turn, has the objective to merge duplicates into a single representation while resolving conflicts between the data. We define first the conflicts classification, the strategies for dealing with conflicts and the implementing conflict management strategies. We present then, the relational operators and data fusion techniques. Likewise, we finish this section by discussing some current data fusion issues that are the subject of current research.
