XML (Extensible Markup Language)

documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-
readable

called RDF/XML

RDFS (RDF Schema)
a set of classes with certain properties using the RDF extensible
knowledge representation language, providing basic elements
for the description of ontologies, otherwise called RDF vocabularies,
intended to structure RDF resources

TBox - terminological component
rdf:type car:Vehicle rdf:Property

rdfs:Class rdfs:subClassOf rdf:type

rdf:type
car:Car car:body_style
rdfs:domain

rdf:type rdfs:range

car:A6 car:Sedan car:Style
car:body_style rdf:type

ABox - assertion component

Ontology

knowledge representation as a set of concepts within a domain, and
the relationships between those concepts
formal, explicit specification of a shared conceptualisation

"Ontologies are often equated with taxonomic hierarchies of
classes, class definitions, and the subsumption relation, but
ontologies need not be limited to these forms. Ontologies are
also not limited to conservative definitions — that is,
definitions in the traditional logic sense that only introduce
terminology and do not add any knowledge about the world.
To specify a conceptualization, one needs to state axioms
that do constrain the possible interpretations for the defined
terms."

OWL (Web Ontology Language)
a family of knowledge representation languages for authoring
ontologies on the Semantic Web

Semantics of RDF, RDFS, and OWL

Each language for the Semantic Web provides a formal meaning
based on a model-theoretic semantics in its abstract syntax.

car:Vehicle

rdfs:subClassOf

<x, y> is in IEXT(I(rdfs:subClassOf))
car:Car rdf:type
if and only if x and y are in IC
and ICEXT(x) is a subset of ICEXT(y) rdf:type

car:A6

Language for the Rule Description
SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) is a proposal for a Semantic
Web rules-language, combining sublanguages of the OWL Web Ontology
Language (OWL DL and Lite) with those of the Rule Markup Language
(Unary/Binary Datalog).

hasParent(?x1,?x2) ∧ hasBrother(?x2,?x3) ⇒ hasUncle(?x1,?x3)

<ruleml:imp>
<ruleml:_rlab ruleml:href="#example1"/>
<ruleml:_body>
<swrlx:individualPropertyAtom swrlx:property="hasParent">
<ruleml:var>x1</ruleml:var> <ruleml:var>x2</ruleml:var>
</swrlx:individualPropertyAtom>
<swrlx:individualPropertyAtom swrlx:property="hasBrother">
</ruleml:_body>
<ruleml:_head>
<swrlx:individualPropertyAtom swrlx:property="hasUncle">
</ruleml:_head>
</ruleml:imp>

Inference

being able to derive new data from data that you already know

hasWife
if hasParent(?x, ?y)
hasParent(?x, ?z)
Man(?y)
hasParent hasParent
Woman(?z)

then hasWife(?y, ?z)

SPARQL

an RDF query language, that is able to retrieve and manipulate data
stored in Resource Description Framework format

PREFIX foaf: <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/>
SELECT ?name ?email
WHERE {
?person a foaf:Person.
?person foaf:name ?name.
?person foaf:mbox ?email.
}

Linking Open Data

a method of publishing structured data to share information in a
way that can be read automatically by computers based on standard Web
technologies such as HTTP and URIs

Components for LOD

• URIs (specifically, of the dereferenceable variety)
• HTTP
• Resource Description Framework (RDF)
• Serialization formats (RDFa, RDF/XML, N3, Turtle, and others)

Four Principles of Linked Data
1. Use URIs to identify things.

2. Use HTTP URIs so that these things can be referred to and looked up
("dereferenced") by people and user agents.

3. Provide useful information about the thing when its URI is
dereferenced, using standard formats such as RDF/XML.

4. Include links to other, related URIs in the exposed data to improve
discovery of other related information on the Web.

Linked Open Data star scheme

★ make your stuff available on the Web
(whatever format) under an open license

★★ make it available as structured data
(e.g., Excel instead of image scan of a table)

★★★ use non-proprietary formats
(e.g., CSV instead of Excel)

★★★★ use URIs to identify things, so that people can
point at your stuff

★★★★★ link your data to other data to provide context

In 2010, we extended the social graph, via the
Open Graph protocol, to include 3rd party web
sites and pages that people liked throughout
the web. We are now extending the Open Graph
to include arbitrary actions and objects created
by 3rd party apps and enabling these apps to
integrate deeply into the Facebook experience.

anyone to use, re-use and re-
distribute.
Open Open

Gov By “government data” we mean data
Data
and information produced or
Data Gov
Data commissioned by government or
Gov government controlled entities.

Publishing Open Government Data
Step 1: The quickest and easiest way to make data available on the
Internet is to publish the data in its raw form (e.g., an XML file of polling
data from past elections). However, the data should be well-structured like
XML, RDF and CSV.

Step 2: Create an online catalog of the raw data so people can discover
what has been posted.

Step 3: Make the data both human- and machine-readable:
• enrich your resources with semantics, metadata, and identifiers;
• encode the data using open and industry standards - especially XML
- or create your own standards based on your vocabulary;
• make your data human-readable by either converting to (X)HTML,
or by using real-time transformations through CSS or XSLT.
• use permanent patterned and/or discoverable "Cool URIs";
• allow for electronic citations in the form of standardized hyperlinks.
