Comparison of approaches to storing linked open data
Hanuš, Jiří ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
The aim of this diploma thesis is a detail description of current possibilities and ways of storing open data. It focuses on tools and database systems used for storing linked open data as well as on the selection of such systems for subsequent analysis and comparison. The practical part of the thesis then focuses on the comparison of selected systems based on a selected use case. This thesis introduces the fundamental terms and concepts concerning linked open data. Besides that, various approaches and formats for storing linked open data (namely file ori-ented approaches and database approaches) are analyzed. . The thesis also focuses on the RDF format and database systems. Ten triplestore database solutions (solutions for storing data in the RDF format) are introduced and described briefly. Out of these, three are cho-sen for a detailed analysis by which they are compared with one another and with a rela-tional database system. The core of the detail analysis lies in performance benchmarks. Ex-isting performance oriented benchmarks of triplestore systems are described and analyzed. In addition to that, the thesis introduces a newly developed benchmark as a collection of database queries. The benchmark is then used for the performance testing. The following systems have been tested: Apache Jena TDB/Fuseki, OpenLink Virtuoso, Oracle Spatial and Graph a Microsoft SQL Server. The main contribution of this thesis consists in a comprehensive presentation of current possibilities of storing linked open data.

OpenStreetMap contributor activity in the Czech Republic
Vaidiš, Martin ; Moudrý, Vítězslav (advisor) ; Komárek, Jan (referee)
Today on the internet, the amount of User generated content (UGC) is increasing as fast as never before. One of its very well usable representatives are Volunteered geographic informations (VGI), which were recently gathering a lot of interest. This applies especially on the most succesfull project based on collaborative mapping - OpenStreetMaps (OSM). Beside the brief introduction of VGI and its possibilities of use, the literature research part of this work takes a closer look at OSM, its structure and its comunity of more than two and a half millions members. The paper also presents ways to get information about the activity of contributors, which is then applied it the analytical part of the work. That is mainly focused on active users in the Czech Republic and its neighbours - Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Austria. By examining data of one year, it was found, among other facts, that the number of contributors in Czech Republic is increasing much more slowly than in the community as a whole. Also, the ratio of the most active members in Czech Republic is significantly lower than usual. The results also showed, that the number of edits made to the OSM database by an average Czech contributor is significantly greater than by others, which were inclueded in this reaserch. At the same time, the importance and potential causes of these anomalies are discussed, and finally, it is proposed how the results may be used for future research.

Support the publication of open data in municipalities
Tichý, Petr ; Chlapek, Dušan (advisor) ; Kučera, Jan (referee)
This thesis deals with so-called open data. Specifically, it aims to support the publication of open data in municipalities. The work has three defined objectives - to analyze the issue of open and linked data, to analyze and select data suitable for opening, and to create an application to facilitate the opening and visualization of data. Each goal provides some partial benefit, but the main and the biggest benefit is the verification of standardized process that allow for opening and publication of data in a small village. The structure of the work is partly based on defined goals. It consists of an introduction, theoretical part, practical part and conclusion. The introductory part deals with basic introduction to the work, defining goals and present searches resources. In the theoretical part basic concepts of open and linked data are defined, then presents the benefits and risks associated with the opening of data are presented. Then, a standardized process of opening and publication of data is introduced as well as the evaluation of the current situation of open data in the Czech Republic and in other countries. The practical part sets objectives subdivided to the described process of opening and publication of data in the selected municipality and describes the process of designing and creating applications using open data from the previous process. The conclusion summarizes the whole work, and discusses whether and how the objectives are reached.
