Linked data for open vocabularies and <i>HIVE</i>'s global framework

Abstract

Although this is particularly important to galleries, libraries, archives and museums, the so-called GLAM community, it is of more general relevance, and part of the value of LOD lies in its adoption beyond that community. LOD includes descriptive metadata and vocabulary encoding schemes that are being "skosified" (encoded in the SKOS format) or rendered in OWL (the web ontology language) and made available not only "on" the web, but "for" the semantic web. The paper highlights a few exemplary initiatives in the field. The paper also introduces the HIVE (Helping Interdisciplinary Vocabularies Engineering) framework and discusses the HIVE-ES ( Título: Datos enlazados para vocabularios abiertos: marco global de HIVE ResumenSe presentan brevemente las nuevas tendencias y avances en la organización del conocimiento desde la perspectiva de linked open data (LOD). Aunque esto es particularmente importante para galerías, bibliotecas, archivos y museos -la llamada comunidad GLAM-, es de importancia más general, y parte del valor de LOD se encuentra en su adopción más allá de esa comunidad. LOD incluye esquemas de metadatos descriptivos y de codificación de vocabularios que están siendo "skosificados" (codificados en el formato SKOS) o transformados en OWL (el lenguaje de ontologías web) y puestos a disposición no sólo "en" la Web, sino también "para" la web semántica. Se destacan algunas iniciativas ejemplares en este campo y se presenta el marco HIVE (Ayuda a la Ingeniería de Vocabularios Interdisciplinares) y se analiza la extensión HIVE-ES (España) para los vocabularios en español, dando lugar a un enfoque más global a los vocabularios abiertos enlazados (LOV).Nota: Este artículo puede leerse traducido al español en:

Perceptions of Librarians Regarding Semantic Web and Linked Data Technologies

“…Mendez and Greenberg (2012) provide information on the HIVE project, which is an acronym for Helping Interdisciplinary Vocabulary Engineering. The authors discuss the possibility of publishing vocabularies as linked open data to become "linked open vocabularies" and explain that using OWL and SKOS will allow these published vocabularies to be incorporated into Semantic Web efforts.…”

Documentary languages and knowledge organization systems in the context of the semantic web

“…It is possible to describe different types of data and subjects by coding each single piece of data with Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI). (Méndez;Greenberg, 2012).…”

Linked Data Meets Big Data: A Knowledge Organization Systems Perspective

“…A good example of a SKOS-based linked data thesaurus is PoolParty (Schandl and Blumauer 2010), which is capable of linking to many different linked data repositories to facilitate search and retrieval. Méndez and Greenberg ( 2012 ) note that vocabularies in their many forms (thesauri, taxonomy, ontology, and discipline, domain and community languages) can be leveraged and made more powerful via RDF/SKOS. Linked Open Vocabularies (LOV) developed and created by Bernard Vatant and Pierre-Yves Vandenbussche is a particularly useful registry of linked data vocabularies that could be used for big data processing and access.…”
