  3. Introduction & motivation

  4. A point of departure? • “CERIF and Linked Data are similar, complementary approaches. However, there are significant differences in the way they encode relationships. EXRI-UK reviewed these approaches against higher education needs and recommended that CERIF should be the basis for the exchange of research information in the UK. CERIF is currently better able to encode the rich information required to communicate research information, and has the organisational backing of EuroCRIS, ensuring it is well-managed and sustainable. • EXRI-UK final report, http://www.jiscinfonet.ac.uk/infokits/research/exri-uk

  5. An example of using linked data in RIS

  7. WebAPI WebAPI WebAPI WebAPI A B C D Limitations (from a linked data perspective) Adapted from: Christian Bizer: The Web of Linked Data (26/07/2009) Shortcomings • APIs provide proprietary interfaces (even though CERIF XML standardizes the interchange format) • Aggregators are based on a fixed set of data sources. (not necessarily, but require some registry of providers). • You can notset hyperlinks neitherbetween RIS entities (projects, people, organizations, publications) descriptions nor from them to other data or terminologies. Aggregator (harvester or query client)

  8. The linked data approach Adapted from: Christian Bizer: The Web of Linked Data (26/07/2009) • Use RDF to provide CERIF metadatabasedonthe XML mapping • Add links using different kinds of relations rel(mapping of CERIF link entities?). • Connect to terminologies using some Classification (cls). (an extension of keywords in CERIF?) • Link to other LOD datasets instead of repeating information. rel RDF RDF RDF RDF RDF cls cls RDF RDF RDF RDF RDF RDFlink RDFlinks RDFlinks RDFlinks B A DBpedia C D Terminology server

Browsing & integrating Adapted from: Christian Bizer: The Web of Linked Data (26/07/2009) Data integrator (combines Information of several cfPers, cfProj or cfOrgUnit, e.g. for analyzing country or call outcomes) Data integrator (combines information for a given cfPers, cfProj or cfOrgUnit) Browser RI Term RI RI Term RI Term RI RI Term typedlinks typedlinks typedlinks typedlinks A E C D B

  14. Example Architecture

  15. Strategies for publish linked data • ALTERNATIVES FOR THE EXPOSURE OF LINKED DATA • Providing a endpoint for enquiries • Serving Static RDF Files • Serving RDF Embedded in HTML Files • Serving LD from RDF Triple Stores • Serving LD by wrapping Web APIs • Serving LD from Relational Databases • FACTORS AFFECTING THE DECISION • How much data do you want to serve? • How is your data currently stored? • How often does your data change?

  20. Benefits of our architecture • Exposure of Liked Data without altering the current research information system (non-intrusive) • Linked Data interface:RDF descriptions of individual resources stored in DB over the HTTP protocol • SPARQL endpoint (the SQL of Linked Data) • Traditional HTML interface: web pages describing resources • Simple way of interchanging data on the Web • Create new third party applications using open linked data from RIS systems

  21. Basic Principles of the LD Exposure

  22. General Principles of the LOD approach • Use URIs as names for things. • Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names. • When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using the standards (RDF*, SPARQL) • Include links to other URIs. so that they can discover more things.

  23. Re-using of well-known terms • We need an ontology for the CERIF model elements • "Do not reinvent the wheel" • Data can be consumed by applications that may be tuned to well-known vocabularies • Foster interoperability between different datasets

  24. self-described and consistent terms • Logical entities are translated into RDF classes and their attributes into RDF properties • CF prefixes are not necessary for ontology terms • Instead, URI namespaces • Properties and Classes self-described • rdfs:label (title case capitalized version of the property/class) • rdfs:comment (a plain text description of the

  25. URI Design • Essential to enable interoperability and understanding • Create human-readable and memorable URIs • Avoid using artificial primary keys • Discover URIs using similarity heuristics • Follow a similar schema/pattern for URIs • http://cris.myorg.org/resource/ENTITYNAME/ENTITYID • Example for a identifier for the EU project “Virtual Open Access ...” hosted at University of Athens • http://cris.aua.gr/resource/projects/VOA3R

  26. Where do RI datasets live? • Higher ed or R&D institutions maintain repositories centred on Pers, cfOrgUnit (internal) and sometimes cfProj and emphasizing cfResPubl, cfResPat. • Funding bodies are centred around cfProj, cfOrgUnit (mostly legal bodies, not internal) and cfFundProg and related. • Bibliographic and citation databases focus on cfResPubl, cfResPatand in general provide poor support for cfPers and cfOrgUnit.

  27. Distributed datasets • Research Information is distributed • Frequently, there is duplicated information in different RIS systems. • ID for VOA3R Project in the University of Athens dataset* • http://cris.aua.gr/resource/projects/VOA3R • ID for VOA3R Project in the University of Alcaládataset* • http://cris.uah.es/resource/projects/VOA3R • No Problem: a same concept can be identified by different URIs in Linked Data • Using owl:sameAspredicate * Assuming that there is a corporate RIS available in http://cris.....
