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.

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.

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.

Cookbook for Translating Relational Data Models to RDF Schemas

Abi Evans — Tue, 15 Sep 2015 02:33:10 +0000

This slide presentation provides guidance for a person tasked with translating a Domain Model into an RDF schema. Modelling initiatives usually focus on a Domain Model that shows the classes, properties and relationships as this greatly aids human understanding of the information space. To achieve interoperability between two systems that need to seamlessly exchange data, a conceptual Domain Model needs to be implemented in a machine-readable and –understandable format, such as XML or RDF.

Learn OWL and RDFS

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:20 +0000

This set of lessons is an introduction to OWL and an introduction to RDF Schema (RDFS). OWL and RDFS are key Semantic Web technologies that give one a way to write down rich descriptions of RDF data. The lessons include introductory tutorials suitable to beginners and also an OWL reference for beginners and experienced practitioners alike.

XSD (XML Schema Definition)

Abi Evans — Thu, 13 Aug 2015 03:26:19 +0000

Defines the purpose of an XML Schema as defining the legal building blocks of an XML document. An XML Schema defines: elements and attributes that can appear in a document; which elements are child elements, their number, and their order; whether an element is empty or can include text; data types as well as default and fixed values for elements and attributes. An XML Schema is: extensible to future additions; is written in XML; supports data types, and supports namespaces.
