Linked Data for Libraries, Archives and Museums: How to clean, link and publish your metadata

Mon, 22 May 2017 07:03:30 +0000

This handbook teaches how to unlock the value of existing metadata through cleaning, reconciliation, enrichment and linking, as well as how to streamline the process of new metadata creation. It introduces the key concepts related to metadata standards and Linked Data and how they can be practically applied to existing metadata. Chapters are dedicated to modeling, cleaning, reconciling, enriching, and publishing one's data.

Making Ontology Documentation with LODE

Sat, 14 Jan 2017 06:46:01 +0000

This paper provides a brief overview of the main features of LODE, the Live OWL Documentation Environment. LODE is an online service that generates a human-readable description of any OWL ontology, taking into account both the ontological axioms and the annotations, and ordering these with the appearance and functionality of a W3C Recommendations Web page, namely as an HTML page with embedded links for ease of browsing and navigation.

thing-described-by.org

Sat, 14 Jan 2017 06:46:01 +0000

Thing-described-by.org is a 303-redirect service. It provides a convenient mechanism for minting dereferenceable http URIs for things that are not necessarily web resources, such as people, cars or concepts in an ontology.

Designing URI Sets for the UK Public Sector

Tue, 10 Jan 2017 06:45:33 +0000

This document defines the design considerations and guidance by which UK public sector Universal Resource Identifier (URI) sets should be developed and maintained. They are designed both to encourage those that definitively own reference data to make it available for re-use, and to give those that have data that could be linked, the confidence to re-use a URI set that is not under their direct control.

Simple Protege Tutorial: Publishing the Ontology

Mon, 09 Jan 2017 06:45:28 +0000

In this video, the ontology file created using the Protege tool is published online. The presenter uses FileZilla to upload the file, but any other FTP tool would work as well. A Web browser is opened and the ontology page is viewed to confirm that the upload was successful.

Is Your Linked Data Vocabulary 5-Star?

Thu, 22 Dec 2016 06:43:15 +0000

This blog post argues that is is not enough just to publish one's Linked Data datasets according to a set of best practices, it is also necessary to make sure that the vocabulary the dataset uses, including its RDF Schema and OWL classes and properties, are also published according to community-accepted standards. Just because datasets share the common RDF data model, there is no guarantee that others can reliably make sense of their semantics in the absence of such standards. To solve this problem, the author suggests his own 5-Star rating system for Linked Data vocabularies.

Permanent Identifiers and Vocabulary Publication: purl.org and w3id

Thu, 22 Dec 2016 06:43:15 +0000

This blog post addresses concerns with the stability of purl for hosting permanent URIs. As a possible alternative, the author presents w3id.org, an effort launched by the W3C permanent identifier community group that has been adopted by a great part of the community and is supported by several companies.

The AMOR Manifesto: Blueprint for an Ontology Ecosystem

Thu, 22 Dec 2016 06:43:15 +0000

The goal for the AMOR Manifesto is to articulate the vision of an ecosystem of Accessible, Machine-readable, Open, and Reusable ontologies that facilitates the reuse of these ontologies or parts of them. To this end, a set of principles have been distilled, based on the 5 star scheme defined for Linked Open Data.

Tutorial on Metadata Provenance

Wed, 23 Nov 2016 05:50:23 +0000

This two-part slide presentation was used at the Semantic Web in Libraries (SWIB) Conference. "Part 1: Linked Data Provenance" answers the questions, "How can we identify RDF data, statements within RDF data, Linked Data, … in order to provide provenance?". "Part 2: The PROV Ontology" addresses, "How can we represent the provenance of resources?".
