Background:Semantic Web Challenge 2003
Winner• CS AKTive Space
– Gather data – UK People, projects, publications
• Research funding
• Top Universities
– Geographical presentation
• AKT Project (www.aktors.org)
![Page 4: Prototype Knowledge Base: an on-line information service in dependability and security Hugh Glaser Electronics & Computer Science University of Southampton](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516055555034694308b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The Challenges• Scientific Intelligence
– Who is doing what where?– What impact are they having?
• Integrating resources
– CORDIS, Institutional DBs and web sites, ePrints, NSF, CiteSeer, RISKS list, ISO LoCodes…
• Information: distributed and heterogeneous– Not under own control– Not in a common format– Not where you expect it
• Presenting to users & agents

ReSIST - Start Again
• A ReSIST Knowledge Base - The RKB
• Project Infrastructure support• Europe (no longer UK-centric), the World• Up to date• Extra subject targets (resilience)• Browser & platform independent• Engineer for maintenance
– Empower partners and other contributors– Empower other application builders

ReSIST - and deliver
• D10 - 2007-01-01T00:00:00A• In fact it is just a URI to a service:
– http://resist.ecs.soton.ac.uk/sparql/
• Or the raw content can be browsed– http://resist.ecs.soton.ac.uk/browse/
• But there is a brand new faceted browser– http://resist.ecs.soton.ac.uk/explorer/
• The RKB is embedded in the infrastructure• The prototype is already being used

So what is RDF...?
• Resource Description Framework
• W3C recommendation– From Semantic Web research efforts
• Modelling language– Represents facts about resources
• Can model any abstract domain– Things do not have to be accessible on the web– But can be described in it
![Page 24: Prototype Knowledge Base: an on-line information service in dependability and security Hugh Glaser Electronics & Computer Science University of Southampton](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516055555034694308b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
RDF: Basic components
• RDF graphs are formed by triples
subject predicate object
![Page 25: Prototype Knowledge Base: an on-line information service in dependability and security Hugh Glaser Electronics & Computer Science University of Southampton](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516055555034694308b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Important Components3store and CRS
• 3store– Open source semantic store– Scalable
• ReSIST - 50 million facts– (cf Wikipedia metadata)
• CRS - Consistent Reference Service– Bridges between disparate sources
![Page 26: Prototype Knowledge Base: an on-line information service in dependability and security Hugh Glaser Electronics & Computer Science University of Southampton](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516055555034694308b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Openness
• Almost nothing shown was private
• Except– Wiki project discussion pages
• But semantic relations go to RKB
– Data entry• Controlled
• Not moderated
![Page 27: Prototype Knowledge Base: an on-line information service in dependability and security Hugh Glaser Electronics & Computer Science University of Southampton](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516055555034694308b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Future for ReSIST & the RKB• Improve on the Prototype
– Sources– CRS– UI
• Resilient-Explicit Computing– Model expert knowledge– Model processes, components, mechanisms
• Support Engineer/Scientist– Move effectively between
• System design• Knowledge Base• People
– To choose cost, characteristics, etc
• Support Run-Time Deployment– Dynamic Reconfiguration
![Page 28: Prototype Knowledge Base: an on-line information service in dependability and security Hugh Glaser Electronics & Computer Science University of Southampton](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516055555034694308b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Future Resources
• Original proposal– Now primarily maintenance
• Victim of success?– Important infrastructure– Serious resources to be maintained– People want to provide data (costs)
![Page 29: Prototype Knowledge Base: an on-line information service in dependability and security Hugh Glaser Electronics & Computer Science University of Southampton](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070306/5516055555034694308b4dc3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Response• ReSIST
– Has increased future RKB resources
• Other Funding and Additionality– Lithuania & Saarbrücken– JISC
• Longer term– Self-funding - SIGs, Clubs– Infrastructure - EU, EPSRC, NSF
• Engineer for Maintenance and Openness• Open
– Knowledge Sources– Knowledge Publishing

Some Review Highlights
• One year of work - one RF funded• ReSIST has done what it said it would do
– And more• In particular, 1M -> 40M• Sophisticated UI
• Real tool for the network, from outset• Excellent Partner co-operation
– Data– Evaluation– Ontology work
• Much Value in Expert Involvement
