Using Rdfa to Link Text and Dictionary Data for Medieval French Using RDFa to Link Text and Dictionary Data for Medieval French Sabine Tittel,∗ Helena Bermúdez-Sabel, Christian Chiarcos◦ ∗Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and Humanities, Heidelberg, Germany Laboratorio de Innovación en Humanidades Digitales, UNED, Madrid, Spain ◦Goethe University Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main, Germany [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper presents an endeavor to transform a scholarly text edition (of a medical treatise written in Middle French) into a digital edition enriched with references to an on-line dictionary. Hitherto published as a book, the resulting digital edition will use RDFa to interlink its vocabulary with the corresponding lexical entries of the Dictionnaire étymologique de l’ancien français (DEAF). We demonstrate the feasibility of RDFa for the semantic enrichment of digital editions within the philologies. In particular, the technological support for RDFa excels beyond domain-specific solutions favored by the TEI community. Our findings may thus contribute to future technological bridges between TEI/XML and (Linguistic) Linked Open Data resources. The original data of the edition is available in a LATEX format that includes profound semantic markup. We convert this data into XML/TEI, and integrate RDFa-compliant attributes for every lexeme attested in the text. The HTML5 edition generated from the XML sources preserves the RDFa attributes and thus (a) embeds (links) its vocabulary within the overall system of the medieval French language, and that (b) provides and displays linguistic features (say, sense definitions given in the original corpus data) along with the critical apparatus of the original book publication.

RDF and Linked Data have broad applicability across many fields, from aircraft manufacturing to zoology. Requirements for detecting bad data differ across communities, fields, and tasks, but nearly all involve some form of data validation. This book introduces data validation and describes its practical use in day-to-day data exchange. The Semantic Web offers a bold, new take on how to organize, distribute, index, and share data. Using Web addresses (URIs) as identifiers for data elements enables the construction of distributed databases on a global scale. Like the Web, the Semantic Web is heralded as an information revolution, and also like the Web, it is encumbered by data quality issues. The quality of Semantic Web data is compromised by the lack of resources for data curation, for maintenance, and for developing globally applicable data models. At the enterprise scale, these problems have conventional solutions. Master data management provides an enterprise-wide vocabulary, while constraint languages capture and enforce data structures. Filling a need long recognized by Semantic Web users, shapes languages provide models and vocabularies for expressing such structural constraints.

  • Where Is the Semantic Web? – an Overview of the Use of Embeddable Semantics in Austria
    Where Is The Semantic Web? – An Overview of the Use of Embeddable Semantics in Austria Wilhelm Loibl Institute for Service Marketing and Tourism Vienna University of Economics and Business, Austria [email protected] Abstract Improving the results of search engines and enabling new online applications are two of the main aims of the Semantic Web. For a machine to be able to read and interpret semantic information, this content has to be offered online first. With several technologies available the question arises which one to use. Those who want to build the software necessary to interpret the offered data have to know what information is available and in which format. In order to answer these questions, the author analysed the business websites of different Austrian industry sectors as to what semantic information is embedded. Preliminary results show that, although overall usage numbers are still small, certain differences between individual sectors exist. Keywords: semantic web, RDFa, microformats, Austria, industry sectors 1 Introduction As tourism is a very information-intense industry (Werthner & Klein, 1999), especially novel users resort to well-known generic search engines like Google to find travel related information (Mitsche, 2005). Often, these machines do not provide satisfactory search results as their algorithms match a user’s query against the (weighted) terms found in online documents (Berry and Browne, 1999). One solution to this problem lies in “Semantic Searches” (Maedche & Staab, 2002). In order for them to work, web resources must first be annotated with additional metadata describing the content (Davies, Studer & Warren., 2006). Therefore, anyone who wants to provide data online must decide on which technology to use.

  • Rdfa Versus Microformats: Exploring the Potential for Semantic Interoperability of Mash-Up Personal Learning Environments
    RDFa versus Microformats: Exploring the Potential for Semantic Interoperability of Mash-up Personal Learning Environments Vladimir Tomberg, Mart Laanpere Tallinn University, Narva mnt. 25, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. This paper addresses the possibilities for increasing semantic interoperability of mash-up learning environments through the use of automatically processed metadata associated with both learning resources and learning process. We analyze and compare potential of two competing technologies for this purpose: microformats and RDFa. 1 Introduction Mash-up Personal Learning Environments have become a fast developing trend in the world of technology-enhanced learning, partly because of their flexibility and lightweight integration features. Although it is quite easy to aggregate the RSS feeds from the blogs of learners, it is more difficult to get an overview of course and its learning activities. A course is not just a syllabus, it also involves various dynamic processes that can be described in many aspects. The course always has certain learning goals, a schedule that consists learning activities (assignments, discussions), registered participants like teachers and students, and different types of resources. It would be useful, if we would be able to extract such information also from mash-up personal learning environments (just like it can be done in traditional Learning Management Systems) and allow exchanging it between the course participants. Today for semantic tagging of Web content in general and learning content as special case various technologies are used. But there are no tools and ways exist for semantic annotation of learning process that takes place in a distributed network of mash-up personal learning environments.

The Resource Description Framework and its Schema Fabien L. Gandon, INRIA Sophia Antipolis Reto Krummenacher, STI Innsbruck Sung-Kook Han, STI Innsbruck Ioan Toma, STI Innsbruck 1. Abstract RDF is a framework to publish statements on the web about anything. It allows anyone to describe resources, in particular Web resources, such as the author, creation date, subject, and copyright of an image. Any information portal or data-based web site can be interested in using the graph model of RDF to open its silos of data about persons, documents, events, products, services, places etc. RDF reuses the web approach to identify resources (URI) and to allow one to explicitly represent any relationship between two resources.

The Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL) has been recently introduced as a W3C recommendation to define con- straints (called shapes) for validating RDF graphs. In this paper a novel SHACL-driven multi-view editor is presented: SHAPEness. It empowers users by offering them a rich interface for assessing and improving the quality of RDF graphs. SHAPEness has been developed and tested in the framework of the European Plate Observing System (EPOS). In this context, the SHAPEness features have proven to be a valuable solution to easily create and maintain valid graphs according to the EPOS data model. The SHACL-driven approach underpinning SHAPEness, makes this tool suitable for a broad range of do- mains, or use cases, which structure their knowledge by means of SHACL constraints.

Copyright © 2010-2013 W3C®(MIT, ERCIM, Keio, Beihang), All Rights Reserved. W3C liability, trademark and document use rules apply. Abstract The last couple of years have witnessed a fascinating evolution: while the Web was initially built predominantly for human consumption, web content is increasingly consumed by machines which expect some amount of structured data. Sites have started to identify a page's title, content type, and preview image to provide appropriate information in a user's newsfeed when she clicks the "Like" button. Search engines have started to provide richer search results by extracting fine-grained structured details from the Web pages they crawl. In turn, web publishers are producing increasing amounts of structured data within their Web content to improve their standing with search engines. A key enabling technology behind these developments is the ability to add structured data to HTML pages directly. RDFa (Resource Description Framework in Attributes) is a technique that allows just that: it provides a set of markup attributes to augment the visual information on the Web with machine- readable hints.
