Towards a Semantic WebTowards a Semantic WebThe current Web represents information using
natural language (English, Hungarian, Chinese,…)graphics, multimedia, page layout
Humans can process this easilycan deduce facts from partial informationcan create mental associationsare used to various sensory information
(well, sort of… people with disabilities may have serious problems on the Web with rich media!)

Towards a Semantic WebTowards a Semantic WebTasks often require to combine data on the Web:
hotel and travel information may come from different sitessearches in different digital librariesetc.
Again, humans combine these information easilyeven if different terminologies are used!

However…However…However: machines are ignorant!
partial information is unusabledifficult to make sense from, e.g., an imagedrawing analogies automatically is difficultdifficult to combine information automatically
is <foo:creator> same as <bar:author>?…

Example: automatic airline reservationExample: automatic airline reservationYour automatic airline reservation
knows about your preferencesbuilds up knowledge base using your pastcan combine the local knowledge with remote services:
airline preferences dietary requirements calendaring etc
It communicates with remote information(M. Dertouzos: The Unfinished Revolution)

Example: data(base) integrationExample: data(base) integrationDatabases are very different in structure, in contentLots of applications require managing several databases
after company mergerscombination of administrative data for e-Governmentbiochemical, genetic, pharmaceutical researchetc.
Most of these data are accessible from the Web (though not necessarily public yet)

Example: social networksExample: social networksSocial sites are everywhere these days (LinkedIn, Facebook, Dopplr, Digg, Plexo, Zyb, …)How many times did you have to add your contacts? Applications should be able to get to those data via standard means
there are, of course, privacy issues…

What is needed?What is needed?(Some) data should be available for machines for further processingData should be possibly combined, merged on a Web scaleSometimes, data may describe other data…… but sometimes the data is to be exchanged by itself, like my calendar or my travel preferencesMachines may also need to reason about that data

The rough structure of data integrationThe rough structure of data integration1.Map the various data onto an abstract data
representationmake the data independent of its internal representation…
2.Merge the resulting representations3.Start making queries on the whole!
queries not possible on the individual data sets

Some notes on the exporting the dataSome notes on the exporting the dataData export does not necessarily mean physical conversion of the data
relations can be generated on-the-fly at query time via SQL “bridges” scraping HTML pages extracting data from Excel sheets etc.
One can export part of the data

However, more can be achieved…However, more can be achieved…We “feel” that a:author and f:auteur should be the sameBut an automatic merge does not know that!Let us add some extra information to the merged data:
a:author same as f:auteurboth identify a “Person”a term that a community may have already defined:
a “Person” is uniquely identified by his/her name and, say, homepage
it can be used as a “category” for certain type of resources

merging datasets “A” and datasets “F”adding three simple extra statements as an extra “glue”

Is that surprising?Is that surprising?Maybe but, in fact, no…What happened via automatic means is done every day by Web users!The difference: a bit of extra rigour so that machines could do this, too

It could become even more powerfulIt could become even more powerfulWe could add extra knowledge to the merged datasets
e.g., a full classification of various types of library datageographical informationetc.
This is where ontologies, extra rules, etc, come inontologies/rule sets can be relatively simple and small, or huge, or anything in between…
Even more powerful queries can be asked as a result

RDF triplesRDF triplesLet us begin to formalize what we did!
we “connected” the data…but a simple connection is not enough… it should be named somehowhence the RDF Triples: a labelled connection between two resources

RDF triples (cont.)RDF triples (cont.)An RDF Triple (s,p,o) is such that:
“s”, “p” are URI-s, ie, resources on the Web; “o” is a URI or a literal
“s”, “p”, and “o” stand for “subject”, “property”, and “object”here is the complete triple:
RDF is a general model for such triples (with machine readable formats like RDF/XML, Turtle, N3, RXR, …)

RDF triples (cont.)RDF triples (cont.)Resources can use any URI; it can denote an element within an XML file on the Web, not only a “full” resource, e.g.:
http://www.example.org/file.xml#element(home)http://www.example.org/file.html#home http://www.example.org/file2.xml#xpath1(//q[@a=b])
RDF triples form a directed, labelled graph (best way to think about them!)

Blank nodes: some more remarksBlank nodes: some more remarksBlank nodes require attention when merging
blanks nodes with identical nodeID-s in different graphs are differentimplementations must be careful…
Many applications prefer not to use blank nodes and define new URI-s “on-the-fly”
eg, when triples are in a databaseFrom a logic point of view, blank nodes represent an “existential” statement

RDF in programming practiceRDF in programming practiceFor example, using Java+Jena (HP’s Bristol Lab):
a “Model” object is createdthe RDF file is parsed and results stored in the Modelthe Model offers methods to retrieve:
triples (property,object) pairs for a specific subject (subject,property) pairs for specific object etc.
the rest is conventional programming…Similar tools exist in Python, PHP, etc.

Need for RDF schemasNeed for RDF schemasFirst step towards the “extra knowledge”:
define the terms we can usewhat restrictions applywhat extra relationships are there?
Officially: “RDF Vocabulary Description Language”the term “Schema” is retained for historical reasons…

Classes, resources, …Classes, resources, …Think of well known traditional ontologies or taxonomies:
use the term “novel”“every novel is a fiction”“«The Glass Palace» is a novel”etc.
RDFS defines resources and classes:everything in RDF is a “resource”“classes” are also resources, but……they are also a collection of possible resources (i.e., “individuals”)
“fiction”, “novel”, …
![Page 52: Semantic Web Tutorial at ESTC2008, Vienna, on September 24, 2008](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020217/54bc9f664a795993058b4581/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)

Classes, resources, … (cont.)Classes, resources, … (cont.)Relationships are defined among classes/resources:
“typing”: an individual belongs to a specific class: “«The Glass Palace» is a novel” to be more precise: “«http://.../000651409X» is a novel”
“subclassing”: all instances of one are also the instances of the other (“every novel is a fiction”)
RDFS formalizes these notions in RDF

“if such and such triples are in the graph, add this and this”do that recursively until the graph does not change
The relevant rule for our example:

StmtIterator iter=model.listStatements(subject,null,null);while(iter.hasNext()) { st = iter.next(); p = st.getProperty(); o = st.getObject(); do_something(p,o);
In practice, more complex queries into the RDF data are necessary
something like: “give me the (a,b) pair of resources, for which there is an x such that (x parent a) and (b brother x) holds” (ie, return the uncles)these rules may become quite complex

“datatype property” means that its range are typed literals

OWL makes a stronger distinction between classes and individuals
referring to its own Class and to “Thing”, respectively

Property value restrictionsProperty value restrictionsClasses are created by restricting the property values on a superclassFor example: how would I characterize a “listed price”?
it is a price (which may be a general term), but one that is given in one of the “allowed” currencies (say, €, £, or $)more formally:
the value of “p:currency”, when applied to a resource on listed price, must take one of those values…
…thereby defining the class of “listed price”

or “hasValue”, when restricted to one specific value

extend the basic RDF and RDFS possibilities with new featuresexpect to infer new relationships based on those
However… a full inference procedure is hard not implementable with simple rule engines, for examplein some cases, it may even be impossible

Note on OWL profilesNote on OWL profilesOWL profiles are defined to reflect compromises:
expressibility vs. implementabilitySome application just need to express and interchange terms (with possible scruffiness): OWL Full is fine
they may build application-specific reasoning instead of using a general one
Some applications need rigour, but only a simple set of statements: a rule engine based profile might be o.k.Some applications need rigour and complex term classification: OWL DL might be the good choice

Ontology developmentOntology developmentThe hard work is to create the ontologies
requires a good knowledge of the area to be describedsome communities have good expertise already (e.g., librarians)OWL is just a tool to formalize ontologies
Large scale ontologies are often developed in a community processOntologies should be shared and reused
can be via the simple namespace mechanisms……or via explicit inclusions
Applications can also be developed with very small ontologies, though

We have not covered everything…We have not covered everything…Some other aspects of SW are being developed● some at W3C, others are still research
For example:● RIF: using general rule engines with SW data; also
interchange rule descriptions (just like data are interchanged)
● SKOS: general framework to express term structures like vocabularies, taxonomies, glossaries
● eg, to interface bibliographic records

““Core” vocabulariesCore” vocabulariesThere are also a number “core vocabularies” (not necessarily OWL based)
Dublin Core: about information resources, digital libraries, with extensions for rights, permissions, digital right managementFOAF: about people and their organizationsDOAP: on the descriptions of software projectsSIOC: Semantically-Interlinked Online CommunitiesvCard in RDF…
One should never forget: ontologies/vocabularies must be shared and reused!

Application patternsApplication patternsIt is fairly difficult to “categorize” applications (there are always overlaps)With this caveat, some of the application patterns:● data integration (ie, integrating data from major databases)● intelligent (specialized) portals (with improved local search
based on vocabularies and ontologies)● content and knowledge organization● knowledge representation, decision support● X2X integration (often combined with Web Services)● data registries, repositories● collaboration tools (eg, social network applications)
