- Abstract
Integrating social networks data in the process of promoting business and marketing applications is widely addressed by several researchers. However, regarding the isolation between social network platforms managing such data has become a challenging task facing data scientist. In this respect, the present paper is designed to put forward a special semantic data integration approach, whereby a unified presentation and access to social networks data can be maintained. To this end, the novel SNOWL (Social Network OWL) ontology aims to provide a new social network content modeling, following the UPON Lite ontology-construction methodology. The advanced ontology is not created from scratch; it is but a continuation of some previously devised ontologies, elaborated to integrate an additional selection of newly incorporated social entities, such as content and user popularity. Additionally, and for an effective advantage of the model to be gained, a special mapping of the social networks data has been firstly implemented to the designed ontology, developed on the basis of the RML mapping language. Secondly, the SNOWL ontology is evaluated through the OOPS! Pitfall tool. Finally, a set of SPARQL-based services has also been designed on top of the SNOWL ontology in a bid to ensure a unified access to the mapped social data.
