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.

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.

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.

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.

Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies

Tue, 18 Oct 2016 05:39:02 +0000

This document describes best practice recipes for publishing vocabularies or ontologies on the Web (in RDF Schema or OWL). The features of each recipe are described in detail, so that vocabulary designers may choose the recipe best suited to their needs. Each recipe introduces general principles and an example configuration for use with an Apache HTTP server (which may be adapted to other environments). The recipes are all designed to be consistent with the architecture of the Web as currently specified, although the associated example configurations have been kept intentionally simple.

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.

Semantic Technologies: Motivation and Standards

Abi Evans — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 05:13:00 +0000

This lecture covers a lot of topics. It hits all the basic standards and technologies in the Semantic Web stack: the RDF data model, SPARQL, RDF Schema, and OWL- however, none in great depth. However, the focus is placed on how these technologies sit on top of the Web infrastructure which is already in place. HyperText Transport Protocol (HTTP) is discussed in detail.

Publishing Relational Databases as Linked Data

Abi Evans — Wed, 21 Oct 2015 20:15:07 +0000

These slides appear to have been used for a course in Database Management Systems at the University of Toronto, but contain material which the creator attributes to other authors. Part 1 outlines a six-step process for "Publishing Linked Data on the Web". Part 2, "How to Publish Relational Databases as Linked Data", covers the following subjects: Mapping relational databases to RDF; following Linked Data Principles and guidelines; mapping and publication tools; the D2R Server.

Publishing RDF Vocabularies on Jazz.net

Abi Evans — Sat, 10 Oct 2015 12:05:44 +0000

This page is part of a wiki used by the Jazz development teams to plan and discuss technical designs and operational procedures related to the development projects at Jazz.net. This page contains an overview of policies and best practices guidelines that may be of use to others seeking to develop and document their own RDF vocabularies following Linked Data Principles. Also contains several XSLT scripts that could be used as examples.
