XML Projects in Japan and Fujitsu's Approach to Xlink/Xpointer UDC 621.395.74:651.55:681.32 XML Projects in Japan and Fujitsu’s Approach to XLink/XPointer VToshimitsu Suzuki VMasatomo Goto (Manuscript received June 2, 2000) The Extensible Markup Language (XML)1) is a markup language developed in response to a recommendation by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).2) It is a meta lan- guage used to make an information structure. XML’s original specification is the Stan- dard Generalized Markup Language (SGML).3) Now, XML is used not only as a format language but also as a framework in various areas beyond the SGML field. This paper describes the XML technology trends, the current state of XML technology, and some case studies in Japan and at Fujitsu.

    Toward the Discovery and Extraction of Money Laundering Evidence from Arbitrary Data Formats using Combinatory Reductions Alonza Mumford, Duminda Wijesekera George Mason University [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—The evidence of money laundering schemes exist undetected in the electronic files of banks and insurance firms scattered around the world. Intelligence and law enforcement analysts, impelled by the duty to discover connections to drug cartels and other participants in these criminal activities, require the information to be searchable and extractable from all types of data formats.

  • Annotea: an Open RDF Infrastructure for Shared Web Annotations
    Proceedings of the WWW 10th International Conference, Hong Kong, May 2001. Annotea: An Open RDF Infrastructure for Shared Web Annotations Jos´eKahan,1 Marja-Riitta Koivunen,2 Eric Prud’Hommeaux2 and Ralph R. Swick2 1 W3C INRIA Rhone-Alpes 2 W3C MIT Laboratory for Computer Science {kahan, marja, eric, swick}@w3.org Abstract. Annotea is a Web-based shared annotation system based on a general-purpose open RDF infrastructure, where annotations are modeled as a class of metadata.Annotations are viewed as statements made by an author about a Web doc- ument. Annotations are external to the documents and can be stored in one or more annotation servers.One of the goals of this project has been to re-use as much existing W3C technol- ogy as possible. We have reacheditmostlybycombining RDF with XPointer, XLink, and HTTP. We have also implemented an instance of our system using the Amaya editor/browser and ageneric RDF database, accessible through an Apache HTTP server. In this implementation, the merging of annotations with documents takes place within the client. The paper presents the overall design of Annotea and describes some of the issues we have faced and how we have solved them. 1Introduction One of the basic milestones in the road to a Semantic Web [22] is the as- sociation of metadata to content. Metadata allows the Web to describe properties about some given content, even if the medium of this content does not directly provide the necessary means to do so. For example, ametadata schema for digital photos [15] allows the Web to describe, among other properties, the camera model used to take a photo, shut- ter speed, date, and location.

Norrie Dr. Beat Signer Global Information Systems Group Institute of Information Systems Department of Computer Science 12th October 2005 Copyright © 2005 Global Information Systems Group. Abstract The iServer architecture is an extensible cross-media information platform enabling links between arbitrary typed objects. It provides some fundamental link concepts and is based on a plug-in mechanism to support various media types. The goal of this semester work was to develop a XHTML plug-in for iServer which enables links from XHTML documents to other XHTML documents as well as parts of them. The resulting iServext is a Firefox extension for iServer which provides visualization and authoring functionality for XHTML links. Furthermore, we investigated research in the area of link augmentation and provide an overview of recent technologies. iii iv Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Augmented Linking 3 2.1 Need for augmented linking ........................... 3 2.1.1 Current link model ............................ 3 2.1.2 Approaches for link augmentation ................... 5 2.2 Related work .................................... 6 2.2.1 Chimera .................................. 6 2.2.2 Hyper-G/Hyperwave ........................... 6 2.2.3 Distributed Link Service ......................... 6 2.2.4 DHM/WWW and Extend Work ..................... 6 2.2.5 HyperScout ................................. 7 2.2.6 Link Visualization with DHTML ..................... 7 2.2.7 Amaya project ............................... 8 2.3 Link integration and authoring ......................... 9 2.4 Link visualization .................................. 11 2.4.1 Today’s link visualization ......................... 11 2.4.2 Possible presentations of link information .............. 11 2.4.3 Examples of link visualization .....................

  • Dynamic and Interactive R Graphics for the Web: the Gridsvg Package
    JSS Journal of Statistical Software MMMMMM YYYY, Volume VV, Issue II. http://www.jstatsoft.org/ Dynamic and Interactive R Graphics for the Web: The gridSVG Package Paul Murrell Simon Potter The Unversity of Auckland The Unversity of Auckland Abstract This article describes the gridSVG package, which provides functions to convert grid- based R graphics to an SVG format. The package also provides a function to associate hyperlinks with components of a plot, a function to animate components of a plot, a function to associate any SVG attribute with a component of a plot, and a function to add JavaScript code to a plot. The last two of these provides a basis for adding interactivity to the SVG version of the plot. Together these tools provide a way to generate dynamic and interactive R graphics for use in web pages. Keywords: world-wide web, graphics, R, SVG. 1. Introduction Interactive and dynamic plots within web pages are becomingly increasingly popular, as part of a general trend towards making data sets more open and accessible on the web, for example, GapMinder (Rosling 2008) and ManyEyes (Viegas, Wattenberg, van Ham, Kriss, and McKeon 2007). The R language and environment for statistical computing and graphics (R Development Core Team 2011) has many facilities for producing plots, and it can produce graphics formats that are suitable for including in web pages, but the core graphics facilities in R are largely focused on static plots. This article describes an R extension package, gridSVG, that is designed to embellish and transform a standard, static R plot and turn it into a dynamic and interactive plot that can be embedded in a web page.

  • RDF/XML: RDF Data on the Web
    Developing Ontologies • have an idea of the required concepts and relationships (ER, UML, ...), • generate a (draft) n3 or RDF/XML instance, • write a separate file for the metadata, • load it into Jena with activating a reasoner. • If the reasoner complains about an inconsistent ontology, check the metadata file alone. If this is consistent, and it complains only when also data is loaded: – it may be due to populating a class whose definition is inconsistent and that thus must be empty. – often it is due to wrong datatypes. Recall that datatype specification is not interpreted as a constraint (that is violated for a given value), but as additional knowledge. 220 Chapter 6 RDF/XML: RDF Data on the Web • An XML representation of RDF data for providing RDF data on the Web could be done straightforwardly as a “holds” relation mapped according to SQLX (see ⇒ next slide). • would be highly redundant and very different from an XML representation of the same data • search for a more similar way: leads to “striped XML/RDF” – data feels like XML: can be queried by XPath/Query and transformed by XSLT – can be parsed into an RDF graph. • usually: provide RDF/XML data to an agreed RDFS/OWL ontology. 221 A STRAIGHTFORWARD XML REPRESENTATION OF RDF DATA Note: this is not RDF/XML, but just some possible representation. • RDF data are triples, • their components are either URIs or literals (of XML Schema datatypes), • straightforward XML markup in SQLX style, • since N3 has a term structure, it is easy to find an XML markup. <my-n3:rdf-graph xmlns:my-n3="http://simple-silly-rdf-xml.de#"> <my-n3:triple> <my-n3:subject type="uri">foo://bar/persons/john</my-n3:subject> <my-n3:predicate type="uri">foo://bar/meta#name</my-n3:predicate> <my-n3:object type="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string">John</my-n3:object> </my-n3 triple> <my-n3:triple> ..

  • Progressive Imagery with Scalable Vector Graphics -..:: VCG Rostock
    Progressive imagery with scalable vector graphics Georg Fuchsa, Heidrun Schumanna, and Ren´eRosenbaumb aUniversity of Rostock, Institute for Computer Science, 18051 Rostock, Germany; bUC Davis, Institute of Data Analysis & Visualization, Davis, CA 95616 U.S.A. ABSTRACT Vector graphics can be scaled without loss of quality, making them suitable for mobile image communication where a given graphics must be typically represented in high quality for a wide range of screen resolutions. One problem is that file size increases rapidly as content becomes more detailed, which can reduce response times and efficiency in mobile settings. Analog issues for large raster imagery have been overcome using progressive refinement schemes. Similar ideas have already been applied to vector graphics, but an implementation that is compliant to a major and widely adopted standard is still missing. In this publication we show how to provide progressive refinement schemes based on the extendable Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) standard. We propose two strategies: decomposition of the original SVG and incremental transmission using (1) several linked files and (2) element-wise streaming of a single file. The publication discusses how both strategies are employed in mobile image communication scenarios where the user can interactively define RoIs for prioritized image communication, and reports initial results we obtained from a prototypically implemented client/server setup. Keywords: Progression, Progressive refinement, Scalable Vector Graphics, SVG, Mobile image communication 1. INTRODUCTION Vector graphics use graphic primitives such as points, lines, curves, and polygons to represent image contents. As those primitives are defined by means of geometric coordinates that are independent of actual pixel resolutions, vector graphics can be scaled without loss of quality.
