What's a URI and Why Does It Matter?

Tue, 17 Jan 2017 06:46:13 +0000

This brief article introduces the terminology and issues surrounding URIs and their role on the Web. This includes some historical context of what URI originally meant, as well as the ways it is used now and the direction in which it seems to be evolving. A key point is made regarding the difference between resources and their representations.

Introduction and Application Scenarios

Sun, 23 Oct 2016 05:39:27 +0000

This module introduces the main principles of Linked Data, the underlying technologies and background standards. It provides basic knowledge for how data can be published over the Web, how it can be queried, and what are the possible use cases and benefits. The module also includes some multiple choice questions in the form of a quiz, screencasts of popular tools, and embedded videos.

Multi-Agent and Semantic Web Systems: RDF Data Structures

Abi Evans — Fri, 13 Nov 2015 06:00:10 +0000

This slide presentation of lecture material was used as part of a course given at The University of Edinburgh School of Informatics. This lecture reviews the concepts of resources and HTTP URIs, then discusses literals and datatypes. Discusses "Instance-of" in RDF, the use of blank nodes, and mapping from the relational model to RDF.

Multi-Agent and Semantic Web Systems: Linked Open Data

Abi Evans — Fri, 13 Nov 2015 06:00:09 +0000

This slide presentation of lecture material was used as part of a course given at The University of Edinburgh School of Informatics. This lecture looked at a wide variety of topics, focusing in particular on Linked Open Data principles for publishing data, the purpose of using URIs, and content negotiation.

Challenges with Linked Data in Libraries

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 13:45:23 +0000

This talk addresses the obstacles that libraries will have to overcome in order to integrate library data into the Semantic Web reap the benefits of Linked Data: Linked data standards; multiple URIs; sophisticated query language issues; the challenge of navigating a different set of data silos. All will require libraries to re-think their approach as they move toward Linked Data.

Research Description Framework

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 13:45:23 +0000

This video is targeted for blind users- it contains no visuals, only audio. However, it contains a very thorough description of the RDF Data model, the use of HTTP URIs, and various serialization formats. RDF Schema and inferencing are given some coverage as well. Throughout the video, the history and development of each component is discussed along with the conceptual information. The video also lists an impressive number of resources for "further reading".

The Semantic Web In Breadth

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 13:45:22 +0000

This document discusses the different parts of the Semantic Web and how they fit together. The early date means that much has changed since it has been written. However, it serves the purpose of describing the early vision of the Semantic Web and would also give a complete novice a sense of the basic concepts.
