Cool Uris For The Semantic Web
Web document (information resource)
Like everything on the traditional Web, each of the pages mentioned above are Web documents. Every Web document has its own URI. Note that a Web document is not the same as a file: a single Web document can be available in many different formats and languages, and a single…
Content negotiation for RDF and HTML
Web clients and servers use the HTTP protocol [RFC2616] to request representations of Web documents and send back the responses. HTTP has a powerful mechanism for offering different formats and language versions of the same Web document known as content negotiation. When a user…
Cool URIs: be on the Web, be unambiguous
Given such a URI, how can we find out what it identifies? We need some way to answer this question, because otherwise it will be hard to achieve interoperability between independent information systems. We could imagine a service where we can look up a description of the…
URIs for things that are not web pages
Web documents have always been addressed with URIs (in common parlance often referred as Uniform Resource Locators, URLs). This is useful because it means we can easily make RDF statements about Web pages, but also dangerous because we can easily mix up Web pages and the…
Core : Three Access Levels To Underpin Open Access
Discovery of semantically related content
..information about the semantic relatedness of content can be used for a number of purposes, such as recommendation, navigation, duplicates or plagiarism detection. CORE estimates semantic relatedness between two textual fragments using the cosine similarity measure calculated…
From Babel To Knowledge: Data Mining Large Digital Collections
Data mining as a new humanities method
These computational methods, which allow us to find patterns, determine relationships, categorize documents, and extract information from massive corpuses, will form the basis for new tools for research in the humanities and other disciplines in the coming decade.
History And The Second Decade Of The Web
Historians should think in verbs, not nouns
Although technologists constantly praise computers as ‘universal machines’, and while it is true that they are remarkably flexible and powerful, this does not mean that we should use them for every kind of historical effort or production. We can truly begin to think about…
Linked Data: Evolving The Web Into A Global Data Space
Any HTTP URI should be dereferenceable
Any HTTP URI should be dereferenceable, meaning that HTTP clients can look up the URI using the HTTP protocol and retrieve a description of the resource that is identified by the URI. This applies to URIs that are used to identify classic HTML documents, as well as URIs that…
Long Live The Web : Article : Scientific American
Linked data
Today's Web is quite effective at helping people publish and discover documents, but our computer programs cannot read or manipulate the actual data within those documents. As this problem is solved, the Web will become much more useful, because data about nearly every aspect…
Ontology Views For Collaborative Ontology Development
Personal views of a shared ontology
...we propose making a web- accessible system (a Grid portal) that maintains a single centrally-held XML document containing the ontology for which all users in a specified group will have access and editing rights. The system will provide each user with their own view of the…
Rdf Primer
Setting a base URI with XML Base
...relative URIrefs such as #item10245 will be interpreted relative to a base URI. By default, this base URI would be the URI of the resource in which the relative URIref is used. However, in some cases it is desirable to be able to explicitly specify this base URI. For…
Reification can't point to a specific triple
...it is important to note that in the conventional use of reification, the subject of the reification triples is assumed to identify a particular instance of a triple in a particular RDF document, rather than some arbitrary triple having the same subject, predicate, and…
Naming statements happens outside RDF
RDF does not provide a built-in way of indicating how a URIref like exproducts:triple12345 is associated with a particular statement or graph, any more than it provides a built-in way of indicating how a URIref like exproducts:item10245 is associated with an actual tent…

Co-citation analysis vs bibliographic coupling
Both Small and Marshakova- Shaikevich contrasted co-citation with bibliographic coupling, which had been described by Myer Kessler in 196315. Bibliographic coupling measures subject similarity between documents based on the frequency of shared cited references: if two works…
Ten Pitfalls Of Enterprise Ontology Management
Shared meaning comes through shared trust
Just as a word processor helps you write a single document;; document management systems help you organize multiple documents. In the same light, you will need some simple tools and processes to manage the data elements in your corporate ontology as they grow from a single OWL…
Thesauri Of Historical Periods – A Proposal For Standardization.
A schema for period definition documents
The schema describes a single period concept as a single document (in the sequence called period definition document) that may link to other period definition documents and auxiliary concepts, such as bi bliography or gazetteer entries. A period thesaurus is built from a set…
Where Are The Semantics In The Semantic Web?
Informal semantics
At a further point along the continuum, the semantics are explicit and are expressed in an informal manner, e.g., a glossary or a text specification document. Given the complexities of natural language, machines have an extremely limited ability to make direct use of informally…
Word Clouds Considered Harmful » Nieman Journalism Lab
Word clouds
If you are fortunate enough to have no idea what a word cloud is, here is some background. A word cloud represents word usage in a document by resizing individual words in said document proportionally to how frequently they are used, and then jumbling them into some vaguely…
World War 1 As Linked Open Data
Problems with geo location of historical events
Regarding the locations of wartime events, a key point is that places are temporal instances, that is, they can change over time. Current geographical datasets such as GeoNames are thus not directly applicable to a historical case like WW1, as the documents and events often…
Problems historians encounter with digital collections
To better understand the problems humanities researchers encounter in utilizing these collections, re- searchers conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with CU faculty and students [11]. The major user needs identified were better support for: 1) locating documents and data…
Xml And Semantic Transparency
Xml markup as syntax plus metadata
How does XML help with the encoding of information at the semantic level? Or does it? New users sometimes refer to XML as "semantic markup," and may be heard to praise XML for its ability to express semantic clarity through markup. We understand what gives rise to this…
