Understands that to be “dereferencable”, a URI should be usable to retrieve a representation of the resource it identifies. – Linked Data for Professional Education

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.

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.

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?".

A Complete Example of How to Link Data, Part 3

Wed, 16 Nov 2016 05:44:22 +0000

This video picks up where the previous two left off, covering the steps of setting up a Fuseki server to store data, interlinking that data with Silk, and then using Pubby to publish the data on the Web. Demonstrates how to connect entities by their URIs (rather than their labels) using sameAs. The tutorial ends by showing how SPARQL can be used to successfully query and filter the data which has just been published.

An Introduction to Linked Data

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

These slides are from a workshop and served as instructions for completing activities designed to achieve the following objectives: 1) Introduce the concept, principles, and key features of Linked Data; 2) Provide hands-on experience of creating Linked Data; 3) Provide a broad technical understanding of how to publish Linked Data; 4) Highlight some of the tools available for publishing and consuming Linked Data.

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: 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.
