Ontological user profiling in recommender systems

S. Middleton, N. Shadbolt, D. Roure
Computer Science
TOIS
2004

We explore a novel ontological approach to user profiling within recommender systems, working on the problem of recommending on-line academic research papers. Expand

The design and realisation of the myExperiment Virtual Research Environment for social sharing of workflows

D. Roure, C. Goble, R. Stevens
Computer Science
Future Gener. Comput. Syst.
1 May 2009

In this paper we suggest that the full scientific potential of workflows will be achieved through mechanisms for sharing and collaboration, empowering scientists to spread their experimental protocols and to benefit from those of others. Expand

e-Science offers a promising vision of how computer and communication technology can support and enhance the scientific process. Expand

Why Linked Data is Not Enough for Scientists

S. Bechhofer, I. Buchan, +13 authors C. Goble
Computer Science
IEEE Sixth International Conference on e-Science
1 February 2013

We propose a scientific data publication model on top of linked data and introduce the notion of \emph{Research Objects} as first class citizens for sharing and publishing. Expand

The Semantic Grid: Past, Present, and Future

D. Roure, N. Jennings, N. Shadbolt
Computer Science
Proceedings of the IEEE
29 May 2005

Grid computing offers significant enhancements to our capabilities for computation, information processing, and collaboration, and has exciting ambitions in many fields of endeavor. We argue that the… Expand

The Evolution of the Grid

D. Roure, Mark A. Baker, N. Jennings, N. Shadbolt
Computer Science
30 May 2003

We describe the evolution of grid systems, identifying three generations: first generation systems which were the forerunners of the Grid as we recognise it today; second generation systems with a focus on middleware to support large scale data and computation; and third generation systems where the emphasis shifts to distributed global collaboration, a service oriented approach and information layer issues.

Zooniverse: observing the world's largest citizen science platform

R. Simpson, Kevin R. Page, D. Roure
Computer Science
WWW '14 Companion
7 April 2014

We introduce the Zooniverse citizen science project and software framework, outlining its structure from an observatory perspective: both as an observable web-based system in itself, and as an example of a platform iteratively developed according to real-world deployment and used at scale. Expand

Capturing knowledge of user preferences: ontologies in recommender systems

S. Middleton, D. Roure, N. Shadbolt
Computer Science
K-CAP '01
22 October 2001

The Quickstep recommender system is presented and two empirical studies evaluate it in a real work setting, measuring the effectiveness of using a hierarchical ontology compared with an extendable flat list. Expand

Software Design for Empowering Scientists

D. Roure, C. Goble
Computer Science
IEEE Software
2009

Scientific research is increasingly digital. Some activities, such as data analysis, search, and simulation, can be accelerated by letting scientists write workflows and scripts that automate routine… Expand

The Distributed Link Service: A Tool for Publishers, Authors, and Readers

L. Carr, D. Roure, W. Hall, G. Hill
Computer Science
World Wide Web J.
1 December 1995
