Furthermore, there are several interlinking frameworks that find semantically equivalent geospatial resources in related RDF data sources. However, many existing Linked Open Data sources are currently sparsely interlinked. Also, many RDF generation and interlinking frameworks require a solid knowledge of Semantic Web and Geospatial Semantic Web concepts to successfully deploy them. This article comparatively evaluates features and functionality of the current state-of-the-art geospatial RDF generation tools and interlinking frameworks. This evaluation is specifically performed for cultural heritage researchers and professionals who have limited expertise in computer programming. Hence, a set of criteria has been defined to facilitate the selection of tools and frameworks. -

Series ISSN: 2160-4711 LABRA GAYO • ET AL GAYO LABRA Series Editors: Ying Ding, Indiana University Paul Groth, Elsevier Labs Validating RDF Data Jose Emilio Labra Gayo, University of Oviedo Eric Prud’hommeaux, W3C/MIT and Micelio Iovka Boneva, University of Lille Dimitris Kontokostas, University of Leipzig VALIDATING RDF DATA This book describes two technologies for RDF validation: Shape Expressions (ShEx) and Shapes Constraint Language (SHACL), the rationales for their designs, a comparison of the two, and some example applications. 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. -

V Plzni dne 9. srpna 2020 Jan Palcút Poděkování Tímto bych chtěl poděkovat vedoucímu diplomové práce panu Ing. Romanovi Moučkovi, Ph.D. za cenné rady, připomínky a odborné vedení této práce. Abstract The work aims to verify the applicability of technologies and languages of the semantic web in creating an application for the management of electro- physiological experiments. The application will allow us to manage multiple experiments of the same characteristic type at once, display their metadata, and search in them. The theoretical part of the work describes the semantic web, selected data standards for electrophysiology, and the neuroinformat- ics laboratory of the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen. The analysis and design of the application describe requirements’ specifications and se- lect the data standard and technologies to implement the solution. Part of the proposal is also a description of the solution of writing metadata of experiments into the newly designed structure. Based on the design, the ap- plication for the selected data standard is implemented. The functionality of the application was verified on experiments of various types. Abstrakt Cílem této práce je ověření použitelnosti technologií a jazyků sémantického webu při tvorbě aplikace pro správu elektrofyziologických experimentů. Apli- kace umožní spravovat více experimentů stejného charakteristického typu najednou, zobrazovat jejich metadata a vyhledávat v nich. -
Introduction to Linked Data and Its Lifecycle on the Web
Introduction to Linked Data and its Lifecycle on the Web Sören Auer, Jens Lehmann, Axel-Cyrille Ngonga Ngomo, Amrapali Zaveri AKSW, Institut für Informatik, Universität Leipzig, Pf 100920, 04009 Leipzig {lastname}@informatik.uni-leipzig.de http://aksw.org Abstract. With Linked Data, a very pragmatic approach towards achieving the vision of the Semantic Web has gained some traction in the last years. The term Linked Data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and interlinking struc- tured data on the Web. While many standards, methods and technologies devel- oped within by the Semantic Web community are applicable for Linked Data, there are also a number of specific characteristics of Linked Data, which have to be considered. In this article we introduce the main concepts of Linked Data. We present an overview of the Linked Data lifecycle and discuss individual ap- proaches as well as the state-of-the-art with regard to extraction, authoring, link- ing, enrichment as well as quality of Linked Data. We conclude the chapter with a discussion of issues, limitations and further research and development challenges of Linked Data. This article is an updated version of a similar lecture given at Reasoning Web Summer School 2011. 1 Introduction One of the biggest challenges in the area of intelligent information management is the exploitation of the Web as a platform for data and information integration as well as for search and querying. Just as we publish unstructured textual information on the Web as HTML pages and search such information by using keyword-based search engines, we are already able to easily publish structured information, reliably interlink this informa- tion with other data published on the Web and search the resulting data space by using more expressive querying beyond simple keyword searches. -

We discuss Shape Expressions (ShEx), a concise, formal, modeling and validation language for RDF structures. For instance, a Shape Expression could prescribe that subjects in a given RDF graph that fall into the shape “Paper” are expected to have a section called “Abstract”, and any ShEx implementation can confirm whether that is indeed the case for all such subjects within a given graph or subgraph. There are currently five actively maintained ShEx implementations. We discuss how we use the JavaScript, Scala and Python implementa- tions in RDF data validation workflows in distinct, applied contexts. We present examples of how ShEx can be used to model and validate data from two different sources, the domain-specific Fast Healthcare Interop- erability Resources (FHIR) and the domain-generic Wikidata knowledge base, which is the linked database built and maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation as a sister project to Wikipedia. -

Creating a Linked Data-Friendly Metadata Application Profile for Archival Description Poster
Proc. Int’l Conf. on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications 2017 Creating a Linked Data-Friendly Metadata Application Profile for Archival Description Poster Matienzo, Mark A. Roke, Elizabeth Russey Carlson, Scott Stanford University, U.S.A. Emory University, U.S.A. Rice University, U.S.A. [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Keywords: archival description; linked data; archives; Schema.org; metadata mapping Abstract We provide an overview of efforts to apply and extend Schema.org for archives and archival description. The authors see the application of Schema.org and extensions as a low barrier means to publish easily consumable linked data about archival resources, institutions that hold them, and contextual entities such as people and organizations responsible for their creation. Rationale and Objectives Schema.org has become one of the most widely recognized and adopted mechanisms for publishing structured data on the World Wide Web, and has incorporated extensions to address the needs of specialist communities (Guha, et al., 2016). It has been used with some success in cultural heritage sector through libraries and digital collections platforms using both Schema.org core types and properties, as well as SchemaBibExtend, an extension for bibliographic information (bib.schema.org, n.d.). These uses include leveraging it as a means to improve search engine rankings (Scott, 2014), to publish library staff directories (Clark and Young, 2017) and to expose linked data about collections materials (Lampron, et al., 2016). However, the adoption of Schema.org in the context of archives has been somewhat limited. Our project focuses on identifying pragmatic methods to publish linked data about archives, archival resources, and their relationships, and to identify gaps between existing models.
