“…There is a vast diversity of domains to publish LSD about, and lots of dimensions and codes can be heterogeneous, domain specific and hardly comparable [2,3,5,6]. To this end, QB allows users to mint their own URIs to create arbitrary dimensions and associated codes.…”

Abstract. RDF Data Cube (QB) has boosted the publication of Linked Statistical Data (LSD) on the Web, making them linkable to other related datasets and concepts following the Linked Data paradigm. In this demo we present LSD Dimensions, a web based application that monitors the usage of dimensions and codes (variables and values in QB jargon) over five hundred public SPARQL endpoints. We plan to extend the system to retrieve more in-use QB data, serve the dimension and code data through SPARQL and an API, and provide analytics on the (re)use of statistical properties in LSD over time.

“…There are many manuscripts transcribed to XML-using TEI-that can be converted to RDF. But transcribers are hesitant to deal with the underlying technology although they can benefit from it [26]. Those are the cases where generic approaches, as the one introduced here, can offer a solution and where automatic conversion of schemata has its place when transformations are to be checked.…”

XMLSchema2ShEx: Converting XML validation to RDF validation

RDF validation is a field where the Semantic Web community is currently focusing attention. Besides, there is a recent trend to migrate data from different sources to semantic web formats. Therefore, in order to facilitate this transformation, we propose: a set of mappings that can be used to convert from XML Schema to Shape Expressions (ShEx), a prototype that implements a subset of the proposed mappings, an example application to obtain a ShEx schema from an XML Schema and a discussion on conversion implications of non-deterministic schemata. We demonstrate that an XML and its corresponding XML Schema are still valid when converted to their RDF and ShEx counterparts. This conversion, along with the development of other format mappings, could drive to an improvement of data interoperability due to the reduction of the technological gap.

“…Their scattered distribution on the Web, and their diversity in syntactically and semantically heterogeneous languages, hamper their use, integration, and potential (Meroño-Peñuela et al 2013). Moreover, the lack of explicitly and semantically meaningful links between these datasets -which very often share common resources and concepts -prevents an automatic and intelligent retrieval and use by applications that consume data.…”

Abstract. Key fields in the humanities, such as history, art and language, are central to a major transformation that is changing scholarly practice in these fields: the so-called Digital Humanities (DH). A fundamental question in DH is how humanities datasets can be represented digitally, in such a way that machines can process them, understand their meaning, facilitate their inquiry, and exchange them on the Web. In this paper, we survey current efforts within the Semantic Web and Linked Data, a family of Webcompatible knowledge representation formalisms and standards, to represent DH objects in quantitative history and symbolic music. We also argue that the technological gap between the Semantic Web and Linked Data, and DH data owners is currently too wide for effective access and consumption of these semantically enabled humanities data. To this end, we propose grlc, a thin middleware that leverages currently existing queries on the Web (expressed in, e.g., SPARQL) to transparently build standard Web APIs that facilitate access to any Linked Data.
