  • Mapping Spatiotemporal Data to RDF: a SPARQL Endpoint for Brussels
    International Journal of Geo-Information Article Mapping Spatiotemporal Data to RDF: A SPARQL Endpoint for Brussels Alejandro Vaisman 1, * and Kevin Chentout 2 1 Instituto Tecnológico de Buenos Aires, Buenos Aires 1424, Argentina 2 Sopra Banking Software, Avenue de Tevuren 226, B-1150 Brussels, Belgium * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +54-11-3457-4864 Received: 20 June 2019; Accepted: 7 August 2019; Published: 10 August 2019 Abstract: This paper describes how a platform for publishing and querying linked open data for the Brussels Capital region in Belgium is built. Data are provided as relational tables or XML documents and are mapped into the RDF data model using R2RML, a standard language that allows defining customized mappings from relational databases to RDF datasets. In this work, data are spatiotemporal in nature; therefore, R2RML must be adapted to allow producing spatiotemporal Linked Open Data.Data generated in this way are used to populate a SPARQL endpoint, where queries are submitted and the result can be displayed on a map. This endpoint is implemented using Strabon, a spatiotemporal RDF triple store built by extending the RDF store Sesame. The first part of the paper describes how R2RML is adapted to allow producing spatial RDF data and to support XML data sources. These techniques are then used to map data about cultural events and public transport in Brussels into RDF. Spatial data are stored in the form of stRDF triples, the format required by Strabon. In addition, the endpoint is enriched with external data obtained from the Linked Open Data Cloud, from sites like DBpedia, Geonames, and LinkedGeoData, to provide context for analysis.

  • Open Web Ontobud: an Open Source RDF4J Frontend
    Open Web Ontobud: An Open Source RDF4J Frontend Francisco José Moreira Oliveira University of Minho, Braga, Portugal [email protected] José Carlos Ramalho Department of Informatics, University of Minho, Braga, Portugal [email protected] Abstract Nowadays, we deal with increasing volumes of data. A few years ago, data was isolated, which did not allow communication or sharing between datasets. We live in a world where everything is connected, and our data mimics this. Data model focus changed from a square structure like the relational model to a model centered on the relations. Knowledge graphs are the new paradigm to represent and manage this new kind of information structure. Along with this new paradigm, a new kind of database emerged to support the new needs, graph databases! Although there is an increasing interest in this field, only a few native solutions are available. Most of these are commercial, and the ones that are open source have poor interfaces, and for that, they are a little distant from end-users. In this article, we introduce Ontobud, and discuss its design and development. A Web application that intends to improve the interface for one of the most interesting frameworks in this area: RDF4J. RDF4J is a Java framework to deal with RDF triples storage and management. Open Web Ontobud is an open source RDF4J web frontend, created to reduce the gap between end users and the RDF4J backend. We have created a web interface that enables users with a basic knowledge of OWL and SPARQL to explore ontologies and extract information from them.

There is a huge adoption of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) format for saving of web-based data. This massive adoption has paved the way for the development of various centralized and distributed RDF processing engines. These engines employ different mechanisms to implement key components of the query processing engines such as data storage, indexing, language support, and query execution. All these components govern how queries are executed and can have a substantial effect on the query runtime. For example, the storage of RDF data in various ways significantly affects the data storage space required and the query runtime performance. The type of indexing approach used in RDF engines is key for fast data lookup. The type of the underlying querying language (e.g., SPARQL or SQL) used for query execution is a key optimization component of the RDF storage solutions.

  • Website Analysis of Croatian Archives - Possibilities and Limits in Archive Use
    DAAAM INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC BOOK 2012 pp. 651-668 CHAPTER 54 WEBSITE ANALYSIS OF CROATIAN ARCHIVES - POSSIBILITIES AND LIMITS IN ARCHIVE USE PAVELIN, G. Abstract: The aim of this paper was to present the current status and characteristics of the Croatian archive websites. The paper describes the connection, similarities and differences between archives and the Internet as a media, whereby their similarity in terms of organization and presentation of information was indicated. Internet as a medium has its own laws and therefore preferences of users must be taken into account when creating websites. This is especially important for archives as institutions, because they present a national heritage through the Internet. The second part is a practical research of the characteristics of Croatian archive websites. Throughout three phases of website analysis it can be seen that Croatian archive websites are satisfactory designed, but have many shortcomings. The SWOT analysis shows how to improve a site, which also includes advantages and disadvantages, as well as opportunities and threats of Croatian archive websites.

  • A Framework for Ontology-Based Library Data Generation, Access and Exploitation
    Universidad Politécnica de Madrid Departamento de Inteligencia Artificial DOCTORADO EN INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL A framework for ontology-based library data generation, access and exploitation Doctoral Dissertation of: Daniel Vila-Suero Advisors: Prof. Asunción Gómez-Pérez Dr. Jorge Gracia 2 i To Adelina, Gustavo, Pablo and Amélie Madrid, July 2016 ii Abstract Historically, libraries have been responsible for storing, preserving, cata- loguing and making available to the public large collections of information re- sources. In order to classify and organize these collections, the library commu- nity has developed several standards for the production, storage and communica- tion of data describing different aspects of library knowledge assets. However, as we will argue in this thesis, most of the current practices and standards available are limited in their ability to integrate library data within the largest information network ever created: the World Wide Web (WWW). This thesis aims at providing theoretical foundations and technical solutions to tackle some of the challenges in bridging the gap between these two areas: library science and technologies, and the Web of Data. The investigation of these aspects has been tackled with a combination of theoretical, technological and empirical approaches. Moreover, the research presented in this thesis has been largely applied and deployed to sustain a large online data service of the National Library of Spain: datos.bne.es. Specifically, this thesis proposes and eval- uates several constructs, languages, models and methods with the objective of transforming and publishing library catalogue data using semantic technologies and ontologies. In this thesis, we introduce marimba-framework, an ontology- based library data framework, that encompasses these constructs, languages, mod- els and methods.

  • Lisa Cant Final Draft of Senior Thesis Professor Senocak 04/12/2012
    Lisa Cant Final Draft of Senior Thesis Professor Senocak C4997 04/12/2012 How the Preservation of Archives During WWII Led to a Radical Reformation of Strategic Intelligence Efforts Captured documents invariably furnish important and reliable information concerning the enemy which makes it possible to draw conclusions as to his organization, strength, and intentions and which may facilitate our war effort materially. -Captured German Order of the Day, as quoted in MIRS History.1 In 1943, in the midst of World War Two, the Allies established what was perhaps the most unusual and unexpected army unit of the war: the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives army unit (MFA&A), created not so much to further the war effort but specifically to address the fate of culturally significant objects. The unit notably placed archivists and art specialists within advancing American and British army units.2 Drawn from existing army divisions these volunteers had as their mission the safeguarding of works of art, monumental buildings, and— more significantly for this study—archives, for the preserved archives ultimately produced intelligence that was valuable both to the ongoing war effort and for the post-war administration of Allied occupied Germany. In order to achieve their mission effectively, the embedded archivists had to be on the front lines, as this was where the most damage could be expected to happen. This was also incidentally where the freshest information could be found. This paper will focus on the archives, what they produced, and what happened to them once they were captured. Although the MFA&A division was initially created to find looted objects and protect culturally relevant material including archives, the Military Intelligence Research Section (MIRS), a joint British and American program, recognized the possible intelligence benefits that 1 AGAR-S doc.
