TIF Data <rdf:RDF xmlns="http://www.w3c.rl.ac.uk/2003/07/22-tif#" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:rdf=“http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#” xml:base=“http://www.rl.ac.uk/sophia/”> <Thesaurus rdf:about="GCL"> <dc:title>Government Category List</dc:title> <dc:description>List of categories used for government metadata.</dc:description> </Thesaurus> <Term rdf:about="GCL?term=A-levels"> <value>A-levels</value> </Term> <Concept rdf:about="GCL?concept=607"> <code>607</code> <preferred rdf:resource="GCL?term=Firearms"/> <nonPreferred rdf:resource="GCL?term=Gun%20licensing"/> <nonPreferred rdf:resource="GCL?term=Handguns"/> <broader rdf:resource="GCL?concept=564"/> <related rdf:resource="GCL?concept=598"/> <related rdf:resource=“GCL?concept=827"/> <inexact rdf:resource="GCL?concept=111"/> <partial rdf:resource="GCL?concept=222"/> </Concept> </rdf:RDF> Slide 7

  11. Term-Based Extension • TIF-Simple Slide 8

  12. TIF-S Built-In Properties Slide 9

  13. preferred Term Concept Term broader BT preferred Term Concept Term Generating TIF-S from TIF • TIF-S as derived relations • Mapping rules • Use Closed World Machine (CWM) Slide 10

  14. TIF Summary • RDF Schema • Concept-based • Mono- or Multi- lingual • Extensible framework of properties • Term-based extension (TIF-S) • Exploit strengths of both models Slide 11

  15. Thesaurus Tools • Low-level • Http server: ‘SophiaLite’ • Java API: ‘Thes’ • User-level • Thesaurus browser: ‘SophiaMultilingua’ Slide 12

  16. SophiaLite • Http thesaurus server • Http get parameters ?concept ?term ?data [ topconcepts / topterms / allconcepts / allterms ] • Return RDF thesaurus data Slide 13

  17. Servlet Container Sophia SophiaLite Architecture Http Client Http (params) Http (RDQL) Joseki Joseki Jdbc / http RDF Store RDF Files Slide 14

  18. Thes API Generic RDF API (Jena) RDF Store Thes Java API • Link to UML • Implementation: Slide 15

  19. SophiaMultilingua • Thesaurus Viewer • Demo • Leverage SW tools for powerful lightweight apps Slide 16

  20. Future Work • Using OWL for validation and inference • Thesaurus web service • Publish datasets • More user-level applications • Use existing thesauri to enhance web experience • Ontology migration Slide 17
