KDDML-G: a grid-enabled knowledge discovery system

CONCURRENCY AND COMPUTATION: PRACTICE & EXPERIENCE, Issue 13 2007
Andrea Romei
Abstract KDDML-G is a middleware language and system for knowledge discovery on the grid. The challenge that motivated the development of a grid-enabled version of the ,standalone' KDDML (Knowledge Discovery in Databases Markup Language) environment was on one side to exploit the parallelism offered by the grid environment, and on the other side to overcome the problem of data immovability, a quite frequent restriction on real-world data collections that has principally a privacy-preserving purpose. The last question is addressed by moving the code and ,mining' the data ,on the place', that is by adapting the computation to the availability and localization of the data.

21 CFR Part 11: electronic records.

QUALITY ASSURANCE JOURNAL, Issue 2 2002
An interactive voice response system.
Abstract A large full-service clinical research organization in the US needed to replace their legacy interactive voice response system which did not provide 21 CFR Part 11 compliant audit trails. They chose to custom-build the new software using C++ component architecture, eXtensible Markup Language (XML), Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), and Microsoft web telephony engine. The case study described in this article illustrates that when systems developers read, study, understand, and embrace 21 CFR Part 11 before designing and validating their product, the regulations are easily met.

A standard transformation from XML to RDF via XSLT

ASTRONOMISCHE NACHRICHTEN, Issue 7 2009
F. Breitling
Abstract A generic transformation of XML data into the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and its implementation by XSLT transformations is presented. It was developed by the grid integration project for robotic telescopes of AstroGrid-D to provide network communication through the Remote Telescope Markup Language (RTML) to its RDF based information service. The transformation's generality is explained by this example. It automates the transformation of XML data into RDF and thus solves this problem of semantic computing. Its design also permits the inverse transformation but this is not yet implemented (© 2009 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim) [source]


Lempel-Ziv compression of highly structured documents

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR INFORMATION SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, Issue 4 2007
Joaquín Adiego
The authors describe Lempel-Ziv to Compress Structure (LZCS), a novel Lempel,Ziv approach suitable for compressing structured documents. LZCS takes advantage of repeated substructures that may appear in the documents, by replacing them with a backward reference to their previous occurrence. The result of the LZCS transformation is still a valid structured document, which is human-readable and can be transmitted by ASCII channels. Moreover, LZCS transformed documents are easy to search, display, access at random, and navigate. In a second stage, the transformed documents can be further compressed using any semistatic technique, so that it is still possible to do all those operations efficiently; or with any adaptive technique to boost compression. LZCS is especially efficient in the compression of collections of highly structured data, such as extensible markup language (XML) forms, invoices, e-commerce, and Web-service exchange documents. The comparison with other structure-aware and standard compressors shows that LZCS is a competitive choice for these type of documents, whereas the others are not well-suited to support navigation or random access. When joined to an adaptive compressor, LZCS obtains by far the best compression ratios. [source]
