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.

Methodological Guidelines for Publishing Government Linked Data

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

Publishing Linked Data is a process that involves many steps, design decisions and technologies. Some initial guidelines have been provided by Linked Data publishers, but these are still far from covering all the steps that are necessary. This chapter, from the book "Linking Government Data" (Springer, 2011), proposes a set of methodological guidelines for the activities involved in the publication process. These guidelines are the result of the authors' experience in the production of Linked Data in several Governmental contexts and are validated by the GeoLinkedData and AEMETLinkedData use cases.

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.

Linking Spatial Data: Semi-Automated Conversion of Geoinformation Models and GML data to RDF

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

Linked Data provides an alternative route for the dissemination of spatial information compared to the traditional Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)-based Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) approach. The traditional approach has provided a wealth of standardized and structured location data based on Geography Markup Language (GML), while Linked Data provides an open mechanism for sharing and combining this data with anything, once the data is available as Linked Data. The first part of the paper focuses on deriving Linked Data from GML data. In the second part, it examines how more meaningfully expressed RDF data can be created from GML by transforming it from Unified Modeling Language (UML) to OWL.

NCBI RDF URI Standards

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:18 +0000

Topic: Publishing RDF; Competency: Determines whether to use hash (#) or slash (/). This document describes standards for NCBI-minted persistent URIs that identify RDF resources. The goals of this document include: Provide guidance to help projects get started publishing data on the Semantic Web; Provide standards and recommendations for the forms that the published RDF URIs should take; Provide distributed authority and control, that allows for groups/projects to mint their own identifiers, by providing namespaces; Specify a centralized system for handling HTTP requests to RDF URIs, in accordance with current best practices (e.g. HTTP 303 redirects)

Best Practice Recipes for Publishing RDF Vocabularies

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:17 +0000

This document describes best practice recipes for publishing an RDF Schema or OWL vocabulary or ontology on the Web. The features of each recipe are clearly described, so that vocabulary or ontology creators may choose the recipe best suited to the needs of their particular situations. Each recipe contains an example configuration for use with an Apache HTTP server, although the principles involved may be adapted to other environments. The recipes are all designed to be consistent with the architecture of the Web as currently specified.
