– A –

abstraction layer

A technology implementing a separation of concerns

a way of hiding the working details of a subsystem, allowing the separation of concerns to facilitate interoperability and platform independence

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstraction_layer

Apache Spark

One of the most popular open source projects for "Big Data" infrastructure, based on [zahariacfss10]. Spark provides a classic example of applicative systems used for data analytics.

knowledge graph

One of the more concise, contemporary definitions is given in [hogan2020knowledge]:

We refer to a knowledge graph as a data graph potentially enhanced with representations of schema, identity, context, ontologies and/or rules.

OSFA

abbr. "One size fits all", a common antipattern in technology

a description for a product that would fit in all instances

see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_size_fits_all

– P –

probabilistic graph inference

probabilistic soft logic

A computationally efficient form of statistical relational learning described in [bachbhg17]

We unite three approaches from the randomized algorithms, probabilistic graphical models, and fuzzy logic communities, showing that all three lead to the same inference objective.

semantic technologies

Semantic Web

A proposed evolution of the World Wide Web, discussed in retrospect by [shadbolt06semantic], and coordinated through the W3C. The intent was to move from documents for humans to read, to a Web that included data and information for computers to manipulate.
