Refining Big Data Semantics Layer for Balancing Efficiency Effectiveness
As one may notice, the developments in the Big Data semantics layer are
mainly focused on posing and appropriately transforming the semantics of
queries all the way down to the available data, using networked ontologies.
At least two shortcomings of this, in fact, unidirectional

approach need to
be identied:
1. Scalability overhead implies insufcient efciency. Indeed, executing
queries at the data layer implies processing volumes at the scale of
stored data. Additional overhead is caused by the query tra ...
