Publishing linked data into the cloud, however, does not ensure the required reusability. Publishing has requirements of provenance, quality, credit, attribution and methods to provide the reproducibility that enables validation of results. In this paper we make the case for a scientific data publication model on top of linked data and introduce the notion of Research Objects as first class citizens for sharing and publishing. %Z %U http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0167739X11001439 %+ %^ %0 %0 Journal Article %A Berners-Lee, Tim & O’Hara, Kieron %D 2013 %T The read–write Linked Data Web %E %B Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences %C %I %V 371 %6 %N 1987 %P %& %Y %S %7 %8 %9 %? %! %Z %@ %( %) %* %L %M %1 %2 %3 article %4 %# %$ %F bernerslee2013readwrite %K data, linked, lod, open, web, webscience %X This paper discusses issues that will affect the future development of the Web, either increasing its power and utility, or alternatively suppressing its development. It argues for the importance of the continued development of the Linked Data Web, and describes the use of linked open data as an important component of that. Second, the paper defends the Web as a read–write medium, and goes on to consider how the read–write Linked Data Web could be achieved. %Z %U http://rsta.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/371/1987/20120513.abstract %+ %^ %0 %0 Book Section %A Rula, Anisa; Palmonari, Matteo; Harth, Andreas; Stadtmüller, Steffen & Maurino, Andrea %D 2012 %T On the Diversity and Availability of Temporal Information in Linked Open Data %E Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe; Heflin, Jeff; Sirin, Evren; Tudorache, Tania; Euzenat, Jérôme; Hauswirth, Manfred; Parreira, JosianeXavier; Hendler, Jim; Schreiber, Guus; Bernstein, Abraham & Blomqvist, Eva %B The Semantic Web – ISWC 2012 %C Berlin/Heidelberg %I Springer %V 7649 %6 %N %P 492--507 %& %Y %S Lecture Notes in Computer Science %7 %8 %9 %? %! %Z %@ 978-3-642-35175-4 %( %) %* %L %M %1 %2 %3 incollection %4 %# %$ %F rula2012diversity %K data, diversity, gaw, linked, lod, open, temporal, time %X An increasing amount of data is published and consumed on the Web according to the Linked Data paradigm. In consideration of both publishers and consumers, the temporal dimension of data is important. In this paper we investigate the characterisation and availability of temporal information in Linked Data at large scale. Based on an abstract definition of temporal information we conduct experiments to evaluate the availability of such information using the data from the 2011 Billion Triple Challenge (BTC) dataset. Focusing in particular on the representation of temporal meta-information, i.e., temporal information associated with RDF statements and graphs, we investigate the approaches proposed in the literature, performing both a quantitative and a qualitative analysis and proposing guidelines for data consumers and publishers. Our experiments show that the amount of temporal information available in the LOD cloud is still very small; several different models have been used on different datasets, with a prevalence of approaches based on the annotation of RDF documents. %Z %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-35176-1_31 %+ %^ %0 %0 Conference Proceedings %A Van de Sompel, Herbert; Sanderson, Robert; Nelson, Michael L.; Balakireva, Lyudmila L.; Shankar, Harihar & Ainsworth, Scott %D 2010 %T An HTTP-Based Versioning Mechanism for Linked Data %E %B Proceedings of Linked Data on the Web (LDOW2010) %C %I arXiv %V %6 %N %P %& %Y %S cs.DL %7 %8 %9 %? %! %Z %@ %( %) %* %L %M %1 %2 %3 inproceedings %4 %# %$ %F vandesompel2010httpbased %K data, gaw, http, linked, lod, open, temporal, time, version %X Dereferencing a URI returns a representation of the current state of the resource identified by that URI. But, on the Web representations of prior states of a resource are also available, for example, as resource versions in Content Management Systems or archival resources in Web Archives such as the Internet Archive. This paper introduces a resource versioning mechanism that is fully based on HTTP and uses datetime as a global version indicator. The approach allows "follow your nose" style navigation both from the current time-generic resource to associated time-specific version resources as well as among version resources. The proposed versioning mechanism is congruent with the Architecture of the World Wide Web, and is based on the Memento framework that extends HTTP with transparent content negotiation in the datetime dimension. The paper shows how the versioning approach applies to Linked Data, and by means of a demonstrator built for DBpedia, it also illustrates how it can be used to conduct a time-series analysis across versions of Linked Data descriptions. %Z %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1003.3661 %+ %^ %0 %0 Journal Article %A Goodwin, John; Dolbear, Catherine & Hart, Glen %D 2008 %T Geographical Linked Data: The Administrative Geography of Great Britain on the Semantic Web %E %B Transactions in GIS %C %I Blackwell Publishing Ltd %V 12 %6 %N %P 19--30 %& %Y %S %7 %8 %9 %? %! %Z %@ 1467-9671 %( %) %* %L %M %1 %2 %3 article %4 %# %$ %F goodwin2008geographical %K data, geo, geography, gis, linked, lod, map, open, rdf, semantic, uk, web %X Ordnance Survey, the national mapping agency of Great Britain, is investigating how semantic web technologies assist its role as a geographical information provider. A major part of this work involves the development of prototype products and datasets in RDF. This article discusses the production of an example dataset for the administrative geography of Great Britain, demonstrating the advantages of explicitly encoding topological relations between geographic entities over traditional spatial queries. We also outline how these data can be linked to other datasets on the web of linked data and some of the challenges that this raises. %Z %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9671.2008.01133.x %+ %^ %0 %0 Book Section %A Auer, Sören; Bizer, Christian; Kobilarov, Georgi; Lehmann, Jens; Cyganiak, Richard & Ives, Zachary %D 2007 %T DBpedia: A Nucleus for a Web of Open Data %E Aberer, Karl; Choi, Key-Sun; Noy, Natasha; Allemang, Dean; Lee, Kyung-Il; Nixon, Lyndon; Golbeck, Jennifer; Mika, Peter; Maynard, Diana; Mizoguchi, Riichiro; Schreiber, Guus & Cudré-Mauroux, Philippe %B The Semantic Web %C Berlin/Heidelberg %I Springer %V 4825 %6 %N %P 722--735 %& %Y %S Lecture Notes in Computer Science %7 %8 %9 %? %! %Z %@ 978-3-540-76297-3 %( %) %* %L %M %1 %2 %3 incollection %4 %# %$ %F auer2007dbpedia %K data, dbpedia, linked, lod, open, semantic, web, wikipedia %X DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web. DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against datasets derived from Wikipedia and to link other datasets on the Web to Wikipedia data. We describe the extraction of the DBpedia datasets, and how the resulting information is published on the Web for human- and machine-consumption. We describe some emerging applications from the DBpedia community and show how website authors can facilitate DBpedia content within their sites. Finally, we present the current status of interlinking DBpedia with other open datasets on the Web and outline how DBpedia could serve as a nucleus for an emerging Web of open data. %Z %U http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-76298-0_52 %+ %^ %0 %0 Conference Proceedings %A Suchanek, Fabian M.; Kasneci, Gjergji & Weikum, Gerhard %D 2007 %T YAGO: a core of semantic knowledge %E %B Proceedings of the 16th international conference on World Wide Web %C New York, NY, USA %I ACM %V %6 %N %P 697--706 %& %Y %S %7 %8 %9 %? %! %Z %@ 978-1-59593-654-7 %( %) %* %L %M %1 %2 %3 inproceedings %4 %# %$ %F suchanek2007semantic %K data, knowledge, linked, lod, ontology, open, semantic, web, yago %X We present YAGO, a light-weight and extensible ontology with high coverage and quality. YAGO builds on entities and relations and currently contains more than 1 million entities and 5 million facts. This includes the Is-A hierarchy as well as non-taxonomic relations between entities (such as HASONEPRIZE). The facts have been automatically extracted from Wikipedia and unified with WordNet, using a carefully designed combination of rule-based and heuristic methods described in this paper. The resulting knowledge base is a major step beyond WordNet: in quality by adding knowledge about individuals like persons, organizations, products, etc. with their semantic relationships - and in quantity by increasing the number of facts by more than an order of magnitude. Our empirical evaluation of fact correctness shows an accuracy of about 95%. YAGO is based on a logically clean model, which is decidable, extensible, and compatible with RDFS. Finally, we show how YAGO can be further extended by state-of-the-art information extraction techniques. %Z %U http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1242572.1242667 %+ %^
