The general idea is to create an efficient way to represent data on the World Wide Web and build a global linked database. The intent of this guide is to introduce the basic concepts of the Semantic Web, as well as some examples of development environments and the implementation of applications for manipulating data published on the Web. It was written to help readers understand this new universe that is emerging from the vast amount of data published daily on the Web, and to explain how to describe this information so that both people and machines can comprehend it. Readers with less technical knowledge can focus on sections 2 and 3, which give an overview and expound on the current state of the Web. Subsequent sections go into more detail in terms of the proposed technical infrastructure to describe published data. Section 2 presents the concepts that define the World Wide Web, showing how the Web has evolved since its invention, starting as a Web of Documents, and then expanding in the direction of a universal platform to run applications, until reaching its current extension as a Web of Data. This section also introduces the concepts of semantics and metadata. The next section discusses the ecosystem that encompasses data on the Web, where the roles played by different types of participants in this environment are presented, in addition to the data life cycle and the architecture underlying this ecosystem. In Section 4, the guide moves into a more technical description, presenting the technologies and standards that define the Semantic Web, followed by a section that presents the basis of the concept of Linked Data, with its principles, classification scheme and some examples. Section 6 deals with an essential aspect for achieving the goal that the meaning intended by the data publisher is the same as the meaning understood by the data consumer: the use of vocabularies that have well-defined semantics. This section addresses some of the most-used reference vocabularies for the semantic definition of data and definition of domain-specific ontologies. Last comes the conclusion to the guide, followed by an appendix that gives some examples of software currently used in development environments to generate applications that manipulate Linked Data. 7 Semantic Web Guideline The purpose of this guide is not to delve deeply into the technical side of the subjects presented, but rather to introduce the reader to this new universe of data. Those interested in further technical details have at their disposal a set of more than 100 links to related specifications and documents. All the references in this guide are available on the Web. Bon Voyage! 8 WWW AND SEMANTICS

Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

    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.

  • Spatial Data Infrastructures and Linked Data
    Spatial Data Infrastructures and Linked Data Carlos Granell Centre for Interactive Visualization Universitat Jaume I, Castellón, Spain Sven Schade European Commission - Joint Research Centre Institute for Environment and Sustainability, Ispra, Italy Gobe Hobona Centre for Geospatial Science University of Nottingham, Nottingham, United Kingdom ABSTRACT A Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is a type of information infrastructure for enhancing geospatial data sharing and access. At the moment, we face the transition from the service-oriented second generation of SDI to a third generation, characterized by user-centric approaches. This new movement closes the gap between classical SDI and Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). Public use and acquisition of information provides additional challenges within and beyond the geospatial domain. Linked data has been suggested recently as a possible overall solution. This notion refers to a best practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting resources in the (semantic) web. In this paper, we project the linked data approach to SDI and suggest it as a possibility to combine SDI with VGI. We advocate a Spatial Linked Data Infrastructure, which applies solutions for linked data to classical SDI standards. We detail different implementing strategies, give examples, and argue for benefits, while at the same time trying to outline possible fallbacks. We hope that this contribution will enlighten a way towards a single shared information space. 2 INTRODUCTION A Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is a type of information infrastructure for enhancing geospatial data sharing and access. An SDI embraces a set of rules, standards, procedures, guidelines, policies, institutions, data, networks, technology and human resources for enabling and coordinating the management and exchange of geospatial data between stakeholders in the spatial data community (Nebert, 2004; Rajabifard et al., 2006; Masser, 2007).

These documents contain significant amounts of structured data, which is largely unavailable to tools and applications. When publishers can express this data more completely, and when tools can read it, a new world of user functionality becomes available, letting users transfer structured data between applications and web sites, and allowing browsing applications to improve the user experience: an event on a web page can be directly imported - 1 - How to Read this Document RDFa in XHTML: Syntax and Processing into a user’s desktop calendar; a license on a document can be detected so that users can be informed of their rights automatically; a photo’s creator, camera setting information, resolution, location and topic can be published as easily as the original photo itself, enabling structured search and sharing.

  • A Visual Notation for the Integrated Representation of OWL Ontologies
    A Visual Notation for the Integrated Representation of OWL Ontologies Stefan Negru1 and Steffen Lohmann2 1Faculty of Computer Science, Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, General Berthelot 16, 700483 Iasi, Romania 2Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems (VIS), Universit¨atsstraße 38, 70569 Stuttgart, Germany [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Ontology Visualization, Visual Notation, OWL, Semantic Web, Knowledge Visualization, Ontologies. Abstract: The paper presents a visual notation for the Web Ontology Language (OWL) providing an integrated view on the classes and individuals of ontologies. The classes are displayed as circles, with the size of each circle representing its connectivity in the ontology. The individuals are represented as sections in the circles so that it is immediately clear from the visualization how many individuals the classes contain. The notation can be used to visualize the property relations of either the classes (conceptual layer) or of selected individuals (integrated layer), while certain elements are always shown for a better understanding. It requires only a small number of graphical elements and the resulting visualizations are comparatively compact. Yet, the notation is comprehensive, as it defines graphical representations for all OWL elements that can be reasonably visualized. The applicability of the notation is illustrated by the example of the Friend of a Friend (FOAF) ontology. 1 INTRODUCTION reasoning.

  • An Introduction to AJAX
    An Introduction to AJAX By : I. Moamin Abughazaleh Page 2 /25 How HTTP works? Classical HTTP Process 1. The visitor requests a page Page 3 /25 2. The server send the entire HTML, CSS and Javascript code at once to the client 3. So, the communication is synchronious Page 4 /25 What is Javascript programming actually? What is Javascript programming? It is programming the browsers. So, we are limited to the objects that the Page 5 /25 browser presents us An Alternative for Managing requests - AJAX AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript And XML. AJAX is based on XMLHttpRequest object of Page 6 /25 Javascript - so the browser and XMLHttpRequest is a standard http://www.w3.org/TR/XMLHttpRequest/ It was introduced with IE-5.0 as an ActiveX object (1999) Later all the major browsers added XMLHttpRequest into their object bases. AJAX = Asynchronous JavaScript and XML It is a technique for creating better, faster, and more interactive web applications With XMLHttpRequest object JavaScript can trade data with a web server, without reloading Page 7 /25 the page AJAX uses “asynchronous data transfer” => allowing web pages to request small bits of information from the server instead of whole pages We can create desktop application like web applications using AJAX, this paradigm is also called “WEB 2.0” programming AJAX - Based on Web Standards AJAX is based on the following web standards: XHTML and CSS Presentation DOM Dynamic display of and interaction with data XML and XSLT Tranfering data back and forth Page 8 /25 XMLHttpRequest Asynchronous transfer of data Javascript Bring these technologies together AJAX applications are browser and platform independent The XMLHttpRequest object is supported in Internet Explorer 5.0+, Safari 1.2, Mozilla 1.0 / Firefox, Opera 8+, and Netscape 7.
