Open Knowledge Foundation Edinburgh meet-up #3Gill Hamilton
Lightning talks by
Gordon Dunsire on library standards and linked data
Gill Hamilton on recent initiatives with open and linked open data at National Library of Scotland
GeoLinked Data (.es) is an open initiative whose aim is to enrich the Web of Data with Spanish geospatial data. This initiative started off by publishing diverse information sources belonging to the Spanish National Geographic Institute. Such sources are made available as RDF (Resource Description Framework) knowledge bases according to the Linked Data principles. With this work, Spain has joined the Linked Data initiative, in which the United Kingdom and Germany are already participating. In this presentation, we provide an overview of the process that has been followed for the development of this initiative.

Transient and persistent RDF views over relational databases in the context o...Nikolaos Konstantinou
As far as digital repositories are concerned, numerous benefits emerge from the disposal of their contents as Linked Open Data (LOD). This leads more and more repositories towards this direction. However, several factors need to be taken into account in doing so, among which is whether the transition needs to be materialized in real-time or in asynchronous time intervals. In this paper we provide the problem framework in the context of digital repositories, we discuss the benefits and drawbacks of both approaches and draw our conclusions after evaluating a set of performance measurements. Overall, we argue that in contexts with infrequent data updates, as is the case with digital repositories, persistent RDF views are more efficient than real-time SPARQL-to-SQL rewriting systems in terms of query response times, especially when expensive SQL queries are involved.
Google's recent announcement that it will support the use of microformats in their search opens up new possibilities for librarians and library technologists to support the goals of the semantic web; namely to provide better access, reuse and recombinations of library resources and services on the open web. This lightning talk introduces the semantic web and semantic markup technologies.
FAIR Data Prototype - Interoperability and FAIRness through a novel combinati...Mark Wilkinson
This slide deck accompanies the manuscript "Interoperability and FAIRness through a novel combination of Web technologies", submitted to PeerJ Computer Science: https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.2522v1
It describes the output of the "Skunkworks" FAIR implementation group, who were tasked with building a prototype infrastructure that would fulfill the FAIR Principles for scholarly data publishing. We show how a novel combination of the Linked Data Platform, RDF Mapping Language (RML) and Triple Pattern Fragments (TPF) can be combined to create a scholarly publishing infrastructure that is markedly interoperable, at both the metadata and the data level.
This slide deck (or something close) will be presented at the Dutch Techcenter for Life Sciences Partners Workshop, November 4, 2016.

Triplewave: a step towards RDF Stream Processing on the WebDaniele Dell'Aglio
The slides of my talk at INSIGHT Centre for Data Analytics (in NUI Galway) where I presented TripleWave (http://streamreasoning.github.io/TripleWave/), an open-source framework to create and publish streams of RDF data.
Resource Description and Access (RDA), the cataloging standard developed to replace AACR2, will be released in June 2010, and a period of testing and evaluation of the new rules will begin. Join Emily Nimsakont, the NLC’s Cataloging Librarian, to learn the basics of RDA. Topics of discussion will include the goals and basic concepts of RDA, ways in which the new rules will differ from the current rules, and changes to MARC format related to RDA.

Editor's Notes
We can look at a typical simple case.
* This is the WEMI stack for a single resource; there is an Item, and therefore a Manifestation, Expression, and Work.
* The Work has two attribute values, for a label such as the Preferred title or Authorized access point and for a descriptive element such as Intended audience.
* The Manifestation and Item have label attributes; the Expression and Manifestation have descriptive attributes.
* Is this set of values the record for the resource?
* The Work is related to a Person such as its creator. In linked data applications, the entity is identified with a URI.
* The Expression is related to a different Person such as a translator, the Manifestation to a Corporate Body such as a publisher, and the Item to a Family such as a donor. The Work is also related to another Work such as an abridgment, and the Expression is related to yet another Work such as a review.
* Do we extend the set of values to include the identifiers of the related entities?
* Each of the related entities has its own label, and related WEMI entities are components of other WEMI stacks.
* Do we extend the record to include the labels of related entities?
* Each of the related entities has its own descriptive attributes.
* Do we extend the record to include other information about related entities?
* Each of the related entities may be related to other entities, such as the Person who is producer of the manuscript that abridges the original Work. Where does the record end?
