Abstract

This book offers a comprehensive guide to the world of metadata, from its origins in the ancient cities of the Middle East, to the Semantic Web of today. The author takes us on a journey through the centuries-old history of metadata up to the modern world of crowdsourcing and Google, showing how metadata works and what it is made of. The author explores how it has been used ideologically and how it can never be objective. He argues how central it is to human cultures and the way they develop. Metadata: Shaping Knowledge from Antiquity to the Semantic Web is for all readers with an interest in how we humans organize our knowledge and why this is important. It is suitable for those new to the subject as well as those know its basics. It also makes an excellent introduction for students of information science and librarianship.

Abstract

Web search engines such as Google, Yahoo! MSN/Bing, and Ask are far from the consummate Web search solution: they do not typically produce direct answers to queries but instead typically recommend a selection of related documents from the Web. We note that in more recent years, search engines have begun to provide direct answers to prose queries matching certain common templates-for example, "population of china" or "12 euro in dollars"-but again, such functionality is limited to a small subset of popular user queries. Furthermore, search engines now provide individual and focused search interfaces over images, videos, locations, news articles, books, research papers, blogs, and real-time social media-although these tools are inarguably powerful, they are limited to their respective domains. In the general case, search engines are not suitable for complex information gathering tasks requiring aggregation from multiple indexed documents: for such tasks, users must manually aggregate tidbits of pertinent information from various pages. In effect, such limitations are predicated on the lack of machine-interpretable structure in HTML-documents, which is often limited to generic markup tags mainly concerned with document renderign and linking. Most of the real content is contained in prose text which is inherently difficult for machines to interpret.

Abstract

With the advance of the semantic Web, increasing amounts of data are available in a structured and machine-understandable form. This opens opportunities for users to employ semantic queries instead of simple keyword-based ones to accurately express the information need. However, constructing semantic queries is a demanding task for human users [11]. To compose a valid semantic query, a user has to (1) master a query language (e.g., SPARQL) and (2) acquire sufficient knowledge about the ontology or the schema of the data source. While there are systems which support this task with visual tools [21, 26] or natural language interfaces [3, 13, 14, 18], the process of query construction can still be complex and time consuming. According to [24], users prefer keyword search, and struggle with the construction of semantic queries although being supported with a natural language interface. Several keyword search approaches have already been proposed to ease information seeking on semantic data [16, 32, 35] or databases [1, 31]. However, keyword queries lack the expressivity to precisely describe the user's intent. As a result, ranking can at best put query intentions of the majority on top, making it impossible to take the intentions of all users into consideration.

Abstract

Peter and Alice are at home, it is a calm winter night, snow is falling, and it is too cold to go outside. "Why don't we just order a pizza and watch a movie?" says Alice wrapped in her favorite blanket. "Why not?"-Peter replies-"Which movie do you wanna watch?" "Well, what about some comedy, romance-like one? Com'on Pete, look on Facebook, there is that nice application Kara suggested me some days ago!" answers Alice. "Oh yes, MORE, here we go, tell me a movie you like a lot," says Peter excited. "Uhm, I wanna see something like the Bridget Jones's Diary or Four Weddings and a Funeral, humour, romance, good actors..." replies his beloved, rubbing her hands. Peter is a bit concerned, he is more into fantasy genre, but he wants to please Alice, so he looks on MORE for movies similar to the Bridget Jones's Diary and Four Weddings and a Funeral: "Here we are my dear, MORE suggests the sequel or, if you prefer, Love Actually," I would prefer the second." "Great! Let's rent it!" nods Peter in agreement. The scenario just presented highlights an interesting and useful feature of a modern Web application. There are tasks where the users look for items similar to the ones they already know. Hence, we need systems that recommend items based on user preferences. In other words, systems should allow an easy and friendly exploration of the information/data related to a particular domain of interest. Such characteristics are well known in the literature and in common applications such as recommender systems. Nevertheless, new challenges in this field arise whenthe information used by these systems exploits the huge amount of interlinked data coming from the Semantic Web. In this chapter, we present MORE, a system for 'movie recommendation' in the Web of Data.

Abstract

The resource description framework (RDF for short) provides a flexible method for modeling information on the Web [34,40]. All data items in RDF are uniformly represented as triples of the form (subject, predicate, object), sometimes also referred to as (subject, property, value) triples. As a running example for this chapter, a small fragment of an RDF dataset concerning music and music fans is given in Fig. 2.1. Spurred by efforts like the Linking Open Data project, increasingly large volumes of data are being published in RDF. Notable contributors in this respect include areas as diverse as the government, the life sciences, Web 2.0 communities, and so on. To give an idea of the volumes of RDF data concerned, as of September 2012, there are 31,634,213,770 triples in total published by data sources participating in the Linking Open Data project. Many individual data sources (like, e.g., PubMed, DBpedia, MusicBrainz) contain hundreds of millions of triples (797, 672, and 179 millions, respectively). These large volumes of RDF data motivate the need for scalable native RDF data management solutions capabable of efficiently storing, indexing, and querying RDF data. In this chapter, we present a general and up-to-date survey of the current state of the art in RDF storage and indexing.

Abstract

For a long while, the creation of Web content required at least basic knowledge of Web technologies, meaning that for many Web users, the Web was de facto a read-only medium. This changed with the arrival of the "social Web," when Web applications started to allow users to publish Web content without technological expertise. Here, content creation is often an inclusive, iterative, and interactive process. Examples of social Web applications include blogs, social networking sites, as well as many specialized applications, for example, for saving and sharing bookmarks and publishing photos. Social semantic Web applications are social Web applications in which knowledge is expressed not only in the form of text and multimedia but also through informal to formal annotations that describe, reflect, and enhance the content. These annotations often take the shape of RDF graphs backed by ontologies, but less formal annotations such as free-form tags or tags from a controlled vocabulary may also be available. Wikis are one example of social Web applications for collecting and sharing knowledge. They allow users to easily create and edit documents, so-called wiki pages, using a Web browser. The pages in a wiki are often heavily interlinked, which makes it easy to find related information and browse the content.

Abstract

The World Wide Web has enabled the creation of a global information space comprising linked documents. As the Web becomes ever more enmeshed with our daily lives, there is a growing desire for direct access to raw data not currently available on the Web or bound up in hypertext documents. Linked Data provides a publishing paradigm in which not only documents, but also data, can be a first class citizen of the Web, thereby enabling the extension of the Web with a global data space based on open standards - the Web of Data. In this Synthesis lecture we provide readers with a detailed technical introduction to Linked Data. We begin by outlining the basic principles of Linked Data, including coverage of relevant aspects of Web architecture. The remainder of the text is based around two main themes - the publication and consumption of Linked Data. Drawing on a practical Linked Data scenario, we provide guidance and best practices on: architectural approaches to publishing Linked Data; choosing URIs and vocabularies to identify and describe resources; deciding what data to return in a description of a resource on the Web; methods and frameworks for automated linking of data sets; and testing and debugging approaches for Linked Data deployments. We give an overview of existing Linked Data applications and then examine the architectures that are used to consume Linked Data from the Web, alongside existing tools and frameworks that enable these. Readers can expect to gain a rich technical understanding of Linked Data fundamentals, as the basis for application development, research or further study.

Abstract

The Web has become the world's largest database, with search being the main tool that allows organizations and individuals to exploit its huge amount of information. Search on the Web has been traditionally based on textual and structural similarities, ignoring to a large degree the semantic dimension, i.e., understanding the meaning of the query and of the document content. Combining search and semantics gives birth to the idea of semantic search. Traditional search engines have already advertised some semantic dimensions. Some of them, for instance, can enhance their generated result sets with documents that are semantically related to the query terms even though they may not include these terms. Nevertheless, the exploitation of the semantic search has not yet reached its full potential. In this book, Roberto De Virgilio, Francesco Guerra and Yannis Velegrakis present an extensive overview of the work done in Semantic Search and other related areas. They explore different technologies and solutions in depth, making their collection a valuable and stimulating reading for both academic and industrial researchers. The book is divided into three parts. The first introduces the readers to the basic notions of the Web of Data. It describes the different kinds of data that exist, their topology, and their storing and indexing techniques. The second part is dedicated to Web Search. It presents different types of search, like the exploratory or the path-oriented, alongside methods for their efficient and effective implementation. Other related topics included in this part are the use of uncertainty in query answering, the exploitation of ontologies, and the use of semantics in mashup design and operation. The focus of the third part is on linked data, and more specifically, on applying ideas originating in recommender systems on linked data management, and on techniques for the efficiently querying answering on linked data.

Abstract

The degree of structure of Web content is the determining factor for the types of functionality that search engines can provide. The more well structured the Web content is, the easier it is for search engines to understand Web content and provide advanced functionality, such as faceted filtering or the aggregation of content from multiple Web sites, based on this understanding. Today, most Web sites are generated from structured data that is stored in relational databases. Thus, it does not require too much extra effort for Web sites to publish this structured data directly on the Web in addition to HTML pages, and thus help search engines to understand Web content and provide improved functionality. An early approach to realize this idea and help search engines to understand Web content is Microformats, a technique for markingup structured data about specific types on entities-such as tags, blog posts, people, or reviews-within HTML pages. As Microformats are focused on a few entity types, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) started in 2004 to standardize RDFa as an alternative, more generic language for embedding any type of data into HTML pages. Today, major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, and Bing extract Microformat and RDFa data describing products, reviews, persons, events, and recipes from Web pages and use the extracted data to improve the user's search experience. The search engines have started to aggregate structured data from different Web sites and augment their search results with these aggregated information units in the form of rich snippets which combine, for instance, data This chapter gives an overview of the topology of the Web of Data that has been created by publishing data on the Web using the microformats RDFa, Microdata and Linked Data publishing techniques.

Abstract

The Web of Linked Data can be seen as a global database, where resources are identified through URIs, are self-described (by means of the URI dereferencing mechanism), and are globally connected through RDF links. According to the Linked Data perspective, research attention is progressively shifting from data organization and representation to linkage and composition of the huge amount of data available on the Web. For example, at the time of this writing, the DBpedia knowledge base describes more than 3.5 million things, conceptualized through 672 million RDF triples, with 6.5 million external links into other RDF datasets. Useful applications have been provided for enabling people to browse this wealth of data, like Tabulator. Other systems have been implemented to collect, index, and provide advanced searching facilities over the Web of Linked Data, such as Watson and Sindice. Besides these applications, domain-specific systems to gather and mash up Linked Data have been proposed, like DBpedia Mobile and Revyu . corn. DBpedia Mobile is a location-aware client for the semantic Web that can be used on an iPhone and other mobile devices. Based on the current GPS position of a mobile device, DBpedia Mobile renders a map indicating nearby locations from the DBpedia dataset. Starting from this map, the user can explore background information about his or her surroundings. Revyu . corn is a Web site where you can review and rate whatever is possible to identify (through a URI) on the Web. Nevertheless, the potential advantages implicit in the Web of Linked Data are far from being fully exploited. Current applications hardly go beyond presenting together data gathered from different sources. Recently, research on the Web of Linked Data has been devoted to the study of models and languages to add functionalities to the Web of Linked Data by means of Linked Data services.
