fancy Web sites are nice

so are carefully marked-up texts

are they really accessible?

peer review and quality of data are important things

except the notion of “quality” changes over time and space and culture and...

just a few examples...

myth of Theuth “ O re, questa conoscenza (mathema) renderà gli egiziani più sapienti e più dotati di memoria: infatti ho scoperto un pharmakon per la sapienza e la memoria. - E il re rispose: - Espertissimo (technikotate) Theuth, una cosa è esser capaci di mettere al mondo quanto concerne una techne, un'altra saper giudicare quale sarà l'utilità e il danno che comporterà agli utenti; e ora tu, padre “ delle lettere, hai attribuito loro per benevolenza il contrario del loro vero effetto. Infatti esse produrranno dimenticanza (lethe) nelle anime di chi impara Plato, Phaedrus

My boss allowed me to do it* in my spare time... * the Web!

Researchers are not any more only in the academia* * See also recent speeches of EU Commissioner M. Quinn and Europe 2020 strategy

research is not done anymore only here

researchers are all around us

if we want to advance human knowledge (our mission?)

we can’t anymore

keep data hidden in our hard disks

in our fancy websites with TEI-aware, user- daptive, context-sensitive, whatever search engines

we must allow

people (and the next generations) to freely re-use, re- think, re-mix the knowledge we encoded into machines

possibly lots of people

Internet users in the world: 1.668.870.408 in Europe: 402.380.474 (~50%) average growth from 2000 to 2009: 362.3%

so we can’t hide data because

data is less valuable when it’s isolated

value is in

context

= = = = = = = = = = == = = == = = = = = = = = = = == = = == = = = = = = == = = = = = = = === = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = == = = = = == = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = == = = == = = = = == = = = = = = = = = ===== = = == = = = == = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = =

linking

someone understood this and...

in the nineties he built the Web

but it didn’t work like he imagined

it became a Web of Documents meant for Human consumption (only)

machines had no way of understading

that two documents talk about the same “thing”

? ??? ? semantics is hidden, only humans (and not all of them) can extract it from documents

machines are helpless

unless...

<open access, e-publishing> cites <internet, philosophy> we use very simple ways (don’t forget they are stupid) of telling them what we are talking about

this is what the Semantic Web (and Linked Data, and the Web of Data) is all about.

Hidden semantics, no access to Web of Documents Web 1.0 data Hidden semantics, partial access to Social Web Web 2.0 data,1-to-1 Interoperability Explicit semantics, full access to Web of Data Web 3.0 data, global Interoperability

Different Models of Collaboration We write, We Web 1.0 Stendhal, Goethe, Discovery publish We publish, Web 2.0 Hypernietzsche you write You write, you publish, we mix Web 3.0 Linked Open Data

it’s growing fast

Feb 2008

Giu 2009

to make the Web a huge, distributed database, on which we can build applications on top* * You’re right, it’s a bit more than that!

think about electronic editions

In this days we heard several varitions of: “have the data in one place, build several different interfaces on top”

linked data and the semantic web makes one more step

data in one place, build several different interfaces on top Web 3.0 data in many connected places, let other people (we might even don’t know) mix with their own data, build interfaces on top

after TBL call for “Raw data now!” on TED in 2009 there has been a huge growth of LOD

UK government

Swedish government

Austrian government

New York Times

Library of Congress

German National Library

Europeana (partially)

Municipalities of San Francisco, Toronto, London, Zaragoza

google

Facebook

today we have more than 15 billions triples* * Atomic “bits of information” in the semantic web.

what for?

to let other people use our data in new an unanticipated ways

to let them do research, develop applications and mash-ups, play, do business...

just a couple of examples data.gov.uk http://www.where-can-i-live.com/londonproperty + geonames.org http://www.wheredoesmymoneygo.org/ freebase.com http://www.we-love-the.net/FreeInﬂuencer/

the web is becoming a huge distributed global database with a lot of different ways (Interfaces, applications ...) to access it

we want to be part of it

yes we can!* * with Muruca

</philosophy>

Muruca

Muruca Open Source Semantic Web Open Access

Muruca Set of tools (not an out-of-the box product) to build research platforms and digital libraries in the Linked Data Cloud

Muruca Led by Net7 with University of Ancona and other contributors

Why? There are many small (or tiny) institutions who have masterpiecies and no money/staff/know-how to put them on the Semantic Web.
