Semantic Analytics on Social Networks: Experiences in Addressing the Problem of Conflict of Interest Detection

@inproceedings{citeulike:984696, abstract = {In this paper, we describe a Semantic Web application that detects Conflict of Interest (COI) relationships among potential reviewers and authors of scientific papers.
