Linked Open Data is publicly available structured data which is stored and modelled according to Semantic Web standards and interlinked with other Open Data. The Linked Open Data cloud comprises of Linked Data sources and has been growing significantly in recent years. Complementary to this, mashups allow non-professional users to access, consume, and analyze data from various sources. The basic component of a mashup is a widget that can access certain datasets, process data, and provide additional functionality. Mashups can partly handle Linked Data consumption for knowledge workers. The main challenges are finding the appropriate widget when the amount of available widgets is increasing, categorizing and finding widgets with similar functionality, and adding provenance information to widgets. The primary purpose of this thesis is to design a semantic model for a mashup platform that enables (i) publishing of widget information on the Linked Open Data Cloud, (ii) widget discovery, (iii) widget composition, and (iv) smart data consumption based on semantic model. Additionally, the semantic model should provide provenance information in order to provide additional information about origin and authenticity of data, and increase trust in data resources. During this research work existing approaches applicable for Semantic Web Service descrip- tion have been compared and Semantic Web Service description techniques concerning appli- cation in the area of Web Widgets have been evaluated. Requirements to the semantic model are derived from literature review and complemented with requirements for mashup systems. Finally, the semantic widget model is implemented into a mashup prototype to demonstrate its usability. v Kurzfassung Das Semantische Web beschreibt ein Konzept zu Informationspeicherung, -austausch und -abruf im Web durch Hinzufügen maschinenlesbarer Metainformation. Ziel ist es, Daten eine Bedeu- tung zu geben. Zu diesem Konzept zählt auch Linked Open Data. Dabei handelt es sich um Daten, die der Resource Description Framework Spezifikation entsprechend modelliert und ge- speichert sind. Zudem sind diese Daten öffentlich verfügbar und miteinander verknüpft. Die Linked Open Data Cloud beeinhaltet alle bedeutenden Linked Data Quellen und befindet sich seit den letzten Jahren in einem ständigen Wachstum. Ergänzend dazu ermöglichen Mashups nicht fachkundigen Anwendern Zugang zu Konsum und Analyse von Linked Data. Die Grund- komponente eines Mashups ist ein Widget. Dieses kann auf bestimmte Datensätze zugreifen, Daten verarbeiten und zusätzliche Funktionen zur Verfügung stellen. Bis dato können Mashups nur teilweise die vorhandenen Probleme für Wissensarbeiter, die mit der Verwendung von Linked Data zusammenhängen, lösen. Die größten Herausforderungen sind es, passende Widgets zu finden, während die Anzahl verfügbarer Widgtes steigt, Widgets mit ähnlichen Funktionalitäten zu kategorisieren und zu finden, und Informationen über die Her- kunft und Vertrauenswürdigkeit von Daten hinzuzufügen. Der Hauptzweck dieser Masterarbeit ist die Entwicklung eines semantischen Modells für ei- ne Mashup Platform. Das Modell ermöglicht (i) die automatische Veröffentlichung der Widget- information in die Linked Open Data Cloud, (ii) Widget Auffindung, (iii) Widget Zusammenset- zung und (iv) smarte Anwendung von Daten basiert auf semantische Modellen. Zusätzlich soll das Modell Informationen über die Herkunft von Daten beinhalten. Während meiner Forschung evaluierte ich Änlichkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen Web Widgets und Semantic Web Services, verglich existierende Ansätze zu Semantic Web Service Beschreibungen und evaluierte Semantic Web Service Beschreibungstechniken, die für eine An- wendung im Bereich Web Widgets relevant sind. Anforderungen an das Modell werden von vorhandener Literatur abgeleitet und mit den Anforderungen an Mashupsysteme ergänzt. Ab- schließend wird das semantische Widget Modell mittels eines Prototyps implementiert, um des- sen praktische Nutzbarkeit zu demonstrieren. vii Contents 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Motivation . 1 1.2 Problem Statement . 2 1.3 Structure of the Thesis . 5 2 Web of Data 7 2.1 Web 2.0 . 7 2.2 Web 3.0 . 9 2.3 Resource Description Framework (RDF) . 11 2.4 Web Ontology Language (OWL) . 16 2.5 SPARQL.

The idea originally was conceived 25 years ago by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailiau [15]. The main goals of the project were: to provide a protocol for requesting and exchanging information with use of networks; provide a method of reading information; provide search mechanisms; provide a collection of documents [15]. The documents were presented by a list of references, so-called hyperlinks, to other text sources over the Internet. In general, the Web is based on following technologies: • documents written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)1, the language that “was pri- marily designed as a language for semantically describing scientific documents“ [67], • Uniform Resource Locator (URL) references to a resource that consists of “a naming scheme specifier followed by a string whose format is a function of the naming scheme“ and Uniform Resource Identifier (URI), “a compact sequence of characters that identify an abstract or physical resource“ [1], i.e. the name of Web sources, • Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP), a protocol for “distributed, collaborative, hyperme- dia information systems“ [64] With widespread use of the Web we saw the next stage in this evolution, the so called “Read- Write“ Web, or Web 2.0, where information can be distributed.

In WCAG 2.1 there is only color contrast 3:1 guideline. :focus { Focus styles outline: 0.25rem solid #222; } Color contrast? In 2.2 draft there are also guidelines for change of contrast and minimum area. Focus styles Note that if box-shadow is used, still use transparent outline for WIN high contrast mode. Good examples Never use :focus { outline: 0 } CSS :focus { box-shadow: ... outline: 0.25rem solid transparent; } :focus-visible is for that and now also Safari 14.1 supports it. // Base focus styles :focus { outline: 0.25em solid $color; Focus styles outline-offset: 0.25em; } What about when focus styles // Be careful to remove focus styles are triggered also using mouse // for “mouse” users. click? :focus:not(:focus-visible) { outline: none; More about focus styles. } <nav> <ul> Navigation <li><a href=”url”>Link 1</a></li> <li><a href=”url”>Link 2</a></li> </ul> Start with semantic markup </nav> Navigation <nav aria-label=”Main”> If there are several <ul> navigation, it’s good to add <li><a href=”url”>Link 1</a></li> name using aria-label <li><a href=”url”>Link 2</a></li> attribute.

    Enriching Unstructured Media Content About Events to Enable Semi-Automated Summaries, Compilations, and Improved Search by Leveraging Social Networks Thomas Steiner Departament de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya A thesis submitted for the degree of Philosophiæ Doctor (PhD) February 2014 1st Advisor: Joaquim Gabarró Vallés Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain 2nd Advisor: Michael Hausenblas Digital Enterprise Research Institute, Galway, Ireland MapR Technologies, San Jose, CA, USA ii Abstract (i) Mobile devices and social networks are omnipresent Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or digital cameras together with social networks enable people to create, share, and consume enormous amounts of media items like videos or photos both on the road or at home. Such mobile devices—by pure definition—accompany their owners almost wherever they may go. In consequence, mobile devices are omnipresent at all sorts of events to capture noteworthy moments. Exemplary events can be keynote speeches at conferences, music concerts in stadiums, or even natural catastrophes like earthquakes that affect whole areas or countries. At such events—given a stable network connection—part of the event-related media items are published on social networks both as the event happens or afterwards, once a stable network connection has been established again. (ii) Finding representative media items for an event is hard Common media item search operations, for example, searching for the of- ficial video clip for a certain hit record on an online video platform can in the simplest case be achieved based on potentially shallow human-generated metadata or based on more profound content analysis techniques like optical character recognition, automatic speech recognition, or acoustic fingerprint- ing.
