Nous lisons régulièrement que le Web révolutionne notre monde et provoque des évolutions dans toutes les dimensions de notre société. Mais le Web lui-même, ses usages et la compréhension que nous en avons n’ont pas cessé d’évoluer depuis la proposition à l’origine de sa création en 1989. C’est un espace en perpétuelle recréation qui nous demande sans cesse de nouvelles explorations et reconsidérations. Ce sont certains de ces changements passés, actuels, et à venir du Web que nous allons regarder ensemble en insistant sur la complexité de cet artefact qui en fait un objet de recherches pluridisciplinaires.

Expressing No-Value Information in RDFFariz Darari
Minute Madness Slide for ISWC 2015
Narration:
We all know Obama (yet another Semantic Web example with Obama :-) We know Obama has no sons. However, RDF does not know. So then, when asking for schools of Obama's sons, we know there must be no answer. SPARQL gives no answer,
but does it know if it's due to incompleteness or non-existence of information?
The Semantic Web is about to grow up. By efforts such as the Linked Open Data initiative, we finally find ourselves at the edge of a Web of Data becoming reality. Standards such as OWL 2, RIF and SPARQL 1.1 shall allow us to reason with and ask complex structured queries on this data, but still they do not play together smoothly and robustly enough to cope with huge amounts of noisy Web data. In this talk, we discuss open challenges relating to querying and reasoning with Web data and raise the question: can the emerging Web of Data ever catch up with the now ubiquitous HTML Web?

"What is left to do?", Dublin Core 2012 KeynoteDan Brickley
http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/index/pages/view/speakers-2012
Abstract: "The original 1995 Dublin Core vision of simple, publisher-provided metadata records for Web pages has finally entered the mainstream. From its earliest days, the Dublin Core community was positioned somewhere between the world of search, and the world of the library. The RDF-based approaches long championed by DCMI have recently enjoyed high profile adoption amongst both search engines and libraries. Where does this leave the Dublin Core as a community? Do we settle down into a quiet life of long-term metadata vocabulary maintenance, or are there larger challenges that emerge from this landscape of newly linked, networked information? Dan Brickley will revisit the history of the Dublin Core, outline the state of the art for bibliographic and Web metadata, and outline possible new roles, information-linking problems and practical opportunities for the Dublin Core as a project and as a growing community."
Managing and Consuming Completeness Information for Wikidata Using COOL-WDFariz Darari
Completeness metadata about RDF data sources has been proposed to provide a partial closed-world assumption over generally incomplete RDF. Wikidata, as one of the major RDF data sources, contains complete information of a range of topics from the cantons of Switzerland to the crew of Apollo 11. We develop COOL-WD as a tool to manage and consume completeness information on Wikidata.

ESWC 2013 Poster: Representing and Querying Negative Knowledge in RDFFariz Darari
Typically, only positive data can be represented in RDF. However, negative knowledge representation is required in some application domains such as food allergies, software incompatibility, and school absence. We present an approach to represent and query RDF data with negative data. We provide the syntax, semantics, and an example. We argue that this approach fits into the open-world semantics of RDF according to the notion of certain answers.

Engaging Information Professionals in the Process of Authoritative Interlinki...Lucy McKenna
Through the use of Linked Data (LD), Libraries, Archives and Museums (LAMs) have the potential to expose their collections to a larger audience and to allow for more efficient user searches. Despite this, relatively few LAMs have invested in LD projects and the majority of these display limited interlinking across datasets and institutions. A survey was conducted to understand Information Professionals' (IPs') position with regards to LD, with a particular focus on the interlinking problem. The survey was completed by 185 librarians, archivists, metadata cataloguers and researchers. Results indicated that, when interlinking, IPs find the process of ontology and property selection to be particularly challenging, and LD tooling to be technologically complex and unsuitable for their needs.
Our research is focused on developing an authoritative interlinking framework for LAMs with a view to increasing IP engagement in the linking process. Our framework will provide a set of standards to facilitate IPs in the selection of link types, specifically when linking local resources to authorities. The framework will include guidelines for authority, ontology and property selection, and for adding provenance data. A user-interface will be developed which will direct IPs through the resource interlinking process as per our framework. Although there are existing tools in this domain, our framework differs in that it will be designed with the needs and expertise of IPs in mind. This will be achieved by involving IPs in the design and evaluation of the framework. A mock-up of the interface has already been tested and adjustments have been made based on results. We are currently working on developing a minimal viable product so as to allow for further testing of the framework. We will present our updated framework, interface, and proposed interlinking solutions.
The Semantic Web is a vision of information that is understandable by computers. Although there is great exploitable potential, we are still in "Generation Zero'' of the Semantic Web, since there are few real-world compelling applications. The heterogeneity, the volume of data and the lack of standards are problems that could be addressed through some nature inspired methods. The paper presents the most important aspects of the Semantic Web, as well as its biggest issues; it then describes some methods inspired from nature - genetic algorithms, artificial neural networks, swarm intelligence, and the way these techniques can be used to deal with Semantic Web problems.
From Linked Data to Semantic ApplicationsAndre Freitas
In this talk we will discuss how to build (today) semantically intelligent systems, i.e. systems with the ability to process and interpret information by its meaning. We will take a multidisciplinary perspective showing how recent advances in other computer science areas such as Information Retrieval and Natural Language Processing can enable, together with Linked Data and Semantic Web resources, the construction of the next generation of information systems. A summary of the core principles and available
resources from these areas will give a concrete understanding on how to jump-start your own semantic system.
Finding knowledge, data and answers on the Semantic Webebiquity
Web search engines like Google have made us all smarter by providing ready access to the world's knowledge whenever we need to look up a fact, learn about a topic or evaluate opinions. The W3C's Semantic Web effort aims to make such knowledge more accessible to computer programs by publishing it in machine understandable form.
<p>
As the volume of Semantic Web data grows software agents will need their own search engines to help them find the relevant and trustworthy knowledge they need to perform their tasks. We will discuss the general issues underlying the indexing and retrieval of RDF based information and describe Swoogle, a crawler based search engine whose index contains information on over a million RDF documents.
<p>
We will illustrate its use in several Semantic Web related research projects at UMBC including a distributed platform for constructing end-to-end use cases that demonstrate the semantic web’s utility for integrating scientific data. We describe ELVIS (the Ecosystem Location Visualization and Information System), a suite of tools for constructing food webs for a given location, and Triple Shop, a SPARQL query interface which searches the Semantic Web for data relevant to a given query ELVIS functionality is exposed as a collection of web services, and all input and output data is expressed in OWL, thereby enabling its integration with Triple Shop and other semantic web resources.
Walking Our Way to the Web - Fabien Gandon
The Web: Scientific Creativity, Technological Innovation and Society
XXVIII Conference on Contemporary Philosophy and Methodology of Science
9 and 10 March 2023
University of A Coruña
The prospect of Walking our Way to the Web may sound strange to contemporary readers of this article for whom the Web is omnipresent. However, the slogan of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has been, for years, and remains today, to lead “the Web to its full potential” meaning we haven’t reached that potential yet, whatever it is. The first architect of the Web himself, Tim Berners-Lee, said in an interview in 2009: “The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past”. And he is still very active, together with the W3C members and Web experts world-wide, in proposing evolutions of the Web architecture to improve its growing usages and applications. In this article we will review the path that led us to the actual Web, the shape it is taking now and the possible evolutions, good and bad, we can identify today. This will lead us to consider the distance that we witness between the initial vision and the reality of the Web today, and to reflect on the possible divergence between the potential we see in the Web and the directions it could take. Our goal in this article is to reflect on how we could walk the delicate path to the full potential of the Web, finding the missing links and avoiding the one too many links.
a shift in our research focus: from knowledge acquisition to knowledge augmen...Fabien Gandon
EKAW 2022 keynote by Fabien GANDON: "a shift in our research focus: from knowledge acquisition to knowledge augmentation"
While EKAW started in 1987 as the European Knowledge Acquisition Workshop, in 2000 it transformed into a conference where we advance knowledge engineering and modelling in general. At the time, this transition also echoed shifts of focus such as moving from the paradigm of expert systems to the more encompassing one of knowledge-based systems. Nowadays, with the current strong interest for knowledge graphs, it is important again to reaffirm that our ultimate goal is not the acquisition of bigger siloed knowledge bases but to support knowledge requisition by and for all kinds of intelligence. Knowledge without intelligence is a highly perishable resource. Intelligence without knowledge is doomed to stagnation. We will defend that intelligence and knowledge, and their evolutions, have to be considered jointly and that the Web is providing a social hypermedia to link them in all their forms. Using examples from several projects, we will suggest that, just like intelligence augmentation and amplification insist on putting humans at the center of the design of artificial intelligence methods, we should think in terms of knowledge augmentation and amplification and we should design a knowledge web to be an enabler of the futures we want.
A Never-Ending Project for Humanity Called “the Web”Fabien Gandon
A Never-Ending Project for Humanity Called "the Web"
Fabien Gandon, Wendy Hall
https://hal.inria.fr/WIMMICS/hal-03633526
In this paper we summarized the main historical steps in making the Web, its foundational principles and its evolution. First we mention some of the influences and streams of thought that interacted to bring the Web about. Then we recall that its birthplace, the CERN, had a need for a global hypertext system and at the same time was the perfect microcosm to provide a cradle for the Web. We stress how this invention required to strike a balance between the integration of and the departure from the existing and emerging paradigms of the day. We then review the pillars of the Web architecture and the features that made the Web so viral compared to competitors. Finally we survey the multiple mutations the Web underwent no sooner it was born, evolving in multiple directions. We conclude on the fact the Web is now an architecture, an artefact, a science object and a research and development object, and of which we haven't seen the full potential yet.
CovidOnTheWeb : covid19 linked data published on the WebFabien Gandon
The Covid-on-the-Web project aims to allow biomedical researchers to access, query and make sense of COVID-19 related literature. To do so, it adapts, combines and extends tools to process, analyze and enrich the "COVID-19 Open Research Dataset" (CORD-19) that gathers 50,000+ full-text scientific articles related to the coronaviruses. We report on the RDF dataset and software resources produced in this project by leveraging skills in knowledge representation, text, data and argument mining, as well as data visualization and exploration. The dataset comprises two main knowledge graphs describing (1) named entities mentioned in the CORD-19 corpus and linked to DBpedia, Wikidata and other BioPortal vocabularies, and (2) arguments extracted using ACTA, a tool automating the extraction and visualization of argumentative graphs, meant to help clinicians analyze clinical trials and make decisions. On top of this dataset, we provide several visualization and exploration tools based on the Corese Semantic Web platform, MGExplorer visualization library, as well as the Jupyter Notebook technology. All along this initiative, we have been engaged in discussions with healthcare and medical research institutes to align our approach with the actual needs of the biomedical community, and we have paid particular attention to comply with the open and reproducible science goals, and the FAIR principles.
