  • Linked Data - the Story So Far
    Linked Data - The Story So Far Christian Bizer, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany Tom Heath, Talis Information Ltd, United Kingdom Tim Berners-Lee, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA This is a preprint of a paper to appear in: Heath, T., Hepp, M., and Bizer, C. (eds.). Special Issue on Linked Data, International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (IJSWIS). http://linkeddata.org/docs/ijswis-special-issue Abstract The term Linked Data refers to a set of best practices for publishing and connecting structured data on the Web. These best practices have been adopted by an increasing number of data providers over the last three years, leading to the creation of a global data space containing billions of assertions - the Web of Data. In this article we present the concept and technical principles of Linked Data, and situate these within the broader context of related technological developments. We describe progress to date in publishing Linked Data on the Web, review applications that have been developed to exploit the Web of Data, and map out a research agenda for the Linked Data community as it moves forward. Keywords: Linked Data, Web of Data, Semantic Web, Data Sharing, Data Exploration 1. Introduction The World Wide Web has radically altered the way we share knowledge by lowering the barrier to publishing and accessing documents as part of a global information space. Hypertext links allow users to traverse this information space using Web browsers, while search engines index the documents and analyse the structure of links between them to infer potential relevance to users' search queries (Brin & Page, 1998).

    The Point of View Axis: Varying the Levels of Explanation Within a Generic RDF Data Browsing Environment Oshani Seneviratne [email protected] Tim Berners-Lee [email protected] Decentralized Information Group, MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory 1. Introduction 3. Panes in Tabulator RDF is at the heart of the Semantic Web as it is the primary Tabulator is capable of generic data browsing, but goes means by which applications can share data and interoper- one step further by allowing users to exploit the RDF data ate. Tabulator is a generic data browser and editor for linked browsing and editing capabilities to build custom applica- RDF data on the web. It was developed with the motiva- tions through a ’Pane’. tion of providing a natural and a seamless experience for browsing and editing data (Tim Berners-Lee, 2008). This paper describes how Tabulator can be used to develop cus- tom applications which consume RDF data, in addition to providing a generic data browsing and editing environment. The goal is to make sure that the end-user has the ability to view the RDF data in a visualization that is most suitable given the nature of the data. The paper is structured as follows. We begin by describ- ing some related work in Section 2. Section 3 gives an overview of the Pane System in Tabulator, and then in Sec- tion 4, we give an example where Tabulator can be used to provide varying levels of explanations through The Justi- fication User Interface. We then give a short overview of our future work in Section 5, and conclude the paper with a discussion of our results in Section 6.

Story 1st April 2019 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON ABSTRACT WEB AND INTERNET SCIENCE RESEARCH GROUP ELECTRONICS AND COMPUTER SCIENCE A mini-thesis submitted for transfer from MPhil toPhD by Henry J. Story The Internet and the World Wide Web are global engineering projects that emerged from questions around information, meaning and logic that grew out of telecommunication research. It borrowed answers provided by philosophy, mathematics, engineering, security, and other areas. As a global engineering project that needs to grow in a multi-polar world of competing and cooperating powers, such a system must be built to a number of geopolitical constraints, of which the most important is a peer-to-peer architecture, i.e. one which does not require a central power to function, and that allows open as well as secret communication. After elaborating a set of geopolitical constraints on any global information system, we show that these are more or less satisfied at the raw-information transmission side of the Internet, as well as the document Web, but fails at the Application web, which currently is fragmented in a growing number of large systems with panopticon like architectures. In order to overcome this fragmentation, it is argued that the web needs to move to generalise the concepts from HyperText applications known as browsers to every data consuming application.

  • Hyperdata: Update Apis for RDF Data Sources (Vision Paper)⋆
    Hyperdata: Update APIs for RDF Data Sources (Vision Paper)? Jacek Kopeck´y Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, UK [email protected] Abstract. The Linked Data effort has been focusing on how to publish open data sets on the Web, and it has had great results. However, mech- anisms for updating linked data sources have been neglected in research. We propose a structure for Linked Data resources in named graphs, con- nected through hyperlinks and self-described with light metadata, that is a natural match for using standard HTTP methods to implement application-specific (high-level) public update APIs. 1 Vision A major function of Web APIs is to give users a way to contribute to data sources (whether they be social networks, photo sharing sites, or anything else) through rich scripted web sites, rather than through simple web forms, and also through external (even 3rd-party) tools. Facebook API, Flickr API and so on, support interactive Web interfaces as well as mobile apps or desktop tools. Some of the data in these apps then gets published as Linked Data, a machine- friendly representation suitable for combining with other data. Commonly, there is a technologies disconnect, though, between the Linked Data read-only view on the data source (which employs RDF and URIs), and the update APIs (with JSON or XML, and non-URI identifiers). In this paper, we describe a vision of hyperdata1 | data that is not only hyperlinked and self-describing in terms of its schema, but also self-describing on how it can be updated.

  • Approaches to Visualising Linked Data: a Survey
    Semantic Web 1 (2011) 1–2 1 IOS Press Approaches to Visualising Linked Data: A Survey Editor(s): Krzysztof Janowicz, Pennsylvania State University, USA Solicited review(s): Anthony Robinson, Pennsylvania State University, USA; Sarven Capadisli, National University of Ireland, Ireland Aba-Sah Dadzie a,∗ and Matthew Rowe b a OAK Group, Department of Computer Science, Regent Court, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] b Knowledge Media Institute, The Open University, Milton Keynes, United Kingdom E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The uptake and consumption of Linked Data is currently restricted almost entirely to the Semantic Web community. While the utility of Linked Data to non-tech savvy web users is evident, the lack of technical knowledge and an understanding of the intricacies of the semantic technology stack limit such users in their ability to interpret and make use of the Web of Data. A key solution in overcoming this hurdle is to visualise Linked Data in a coherent and legible manner, allowing non-domain and non-technical audiences to obtain a good understanding of its structure, and therefore implicitly compose queries, identify links between resources and intuitively discover new pieces of information. In this paper we describe key requirements which the visualisation of Linked Data must fulfil in order to lower the technical barrier and make the Web of Data accessible for all. We provide an extensive survey of current efforts in the Semantic Web community with respect to our requirements, and identify the potential for visual support to lead to more effective, intuitive interaction of the end user with Linked Data.

  • An Entity Retrieval Model
    Searching Web Data: an Entity Retrieval Model Renaud Delbru Supervisor: Dr. Giovanni Tummarello Internal Examiner: Prof. Stefan Decker External Examiner: Dr. J´er^omeEuzenat External Examiner: Dr. Fabrizio Silvestri Dissertation submitted in pursuance of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Digital Enterprise Research Institute Galway National University of Ireland, Galway / Ollscoil na hEireann,´ Gaillimh December 14, 2011 Abstract More and more (semi) structured information is becoming available on the Web in the form of documents embedding metadata (e.g., RDF, RDFa, Microformats and others). There are already hundreds of millions of such documents accessible and their number is growing rapidly. This calls for large scale systems providing effective means of searching and retrieving this semi-structured information with the ultimate goal of making it exploitable by humans and machines alike. This dissertation examines the shift from the traditional web doc- ument model to a web data object (entity) model and studies the challenges and issues faced in implementing a scalable and high per- formance system for searching semi-structured data objects on a large heterogeneous and decentralised infrastructure. Towards this goal, we define an entity retrieval model, develop novel methodologies for sup- porting this model, and design a web-scale retrieval system around this model. In particular, this dissertation focuses on the following four main aspects of the system: reasoning, ranking, indexing and querying. We introduce a distributed reasoning framework which is tolerant against low data quality. We present a link analysis approach for computing the popularity score of data objects among decentralised data sources. We propose an indexing methodology for semi-structured data which offers a good compromise between query expressiveness, query processing and index maintenance compared to other approaches.
