(mentor) Faculty Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science Department Software Techology, Web Information Systems Programme Information Architecture Date 2011-02-16 Abstract An increasing amount of datasets that can be combined with other datasets is emerging. Particularly the SemanticWeb allows creating links between datasets, which increase the value of the dataset that is being linked. Finding links between datasets, as well as capturing the data inside another dataset that is of interest is a process for which tools have yet to be perfected. Often the process of enriching data involves understanding how to access the data, and finding clues how to use auxiliary data to add value to the original dataset. This Thesis document proposes a framework for visually specifying the enrichment of RDF data. The framework is called RDF Gears, and allows incremental enrichment of RDF datasets. The platform provides functionality for composing enrichment flows from individual enrichment steps. The enrichment flow describes the order in which RDF data will be gathered from remote RDF datasources. After specifying the flow, the enrichments can be applied to the RDF dataset. RDF Gears also provides functionality for creating and reusing enrichment steps and (nested) flows. The approach discussed in this document shows the potential of specifying RDF enrichments incrementally. Also the possibility for abstracting Semantic Web technologies using the visual programming paradigm is shown. The main deliverable of this Master Thesis is the RDF Gears framework.
