Interlinking Data and Knowledge in Enterprises, Research and Society with Lin...Christoph Lange
The Linked Data paradigm has emerged as a powerful enabler for data and knowledge interlinking and exchange using standardised Web technologies.
In this article, we discuss our vision how the Linked Data paradigm can be employed to evolve the intranets of large organisations -- be it enterprises, research organisations or governmental and public administrations -- into networks of internal data and knowledge.
In particular for large enterprises data integration is still a key challenge. The Linked Data paradigm seems a promising approach for integrating enterprise data. Like the Web of Data, which now complements the original document-centred Web, data intranets may help to enhance and flexibilise the intranets and service-oriented architectures that exist in large organisations. Furthermore, using Linked Data gives enterprises access to 50+ billion facts from the growing Linked Open Data (LOD) cloud. As a result, a data intranet can help to bridge the gap between structured data management (in ERP, CRM or SCM systems) and semi-structured or unstructured information in documents, wikis or web portals, and make all of these sources searchable in a coherent way.
Keynote at Baltic DB&IS 2014, 9 June 2014, Tallinn, Estonia
This document proposes a project to develop a semi-automatic text mining system to extract and analyze information from digital documents. The project aims to 1) leverage progress in fields like natural language processing and machine learning, 2) account for document structure like XML, and 3) go beyond information extraction to deduce new knowledge. The project would use annual business reports and analyst reports in specific industries as a test case to identify trends, compare companies, and verify techniques. Successful results could help European businesses make more informed decisions and stay competitive. The project consortium includes researchers from universities and companies with expertise in knowledge acquisition, computational linguistics, machine learning, and information retrieval to contribute to different work packages.
Linking Big Data to Rich Process DescriptionsChristoph Lange
Linked (Open) Data is one key to coping with Big Data: it enables decentralised, collaborative management of big datasets, low-overhead information retrieval, and scalable reasoning. Big Data are created or consumed by technical processes or business processes. Their formal description, e.g. for software verification or compliance checking, requires logics whose complexity far exceeds that of the data. Restricting LOD to the RDF logic does not allow for integrating rich process descriptions with the data that these processes create, and therefore does not enable knowledge management, information retrieval and reasoning to take full advantage of rich background knowledge. In this talk I demonstrate different frontiers at which I have worked towards achieving an integration of process descriptions and data.

Graph Databases Lifecycle Methodology and Tool to Support Index/Store Versio...Paolo Nesi
Abstract— Graph databases are taking place in many different applications: smart city, smart cloud, smart education, etc. In most cases, the applications imply the creation of ontologies and the integration of a large set of knowledge to build a knowledge base as an RDF KB store, with ontologies, static data, historical data and real time data. Most of the RDF stores are endowed of inferential engines that materialize some knowledge as triples during indexing or querying. In these cases, deleting concepts may imply the removal and change of many triples, especially if the triples are those modeling the ontological part of the knowledge base, or are referred by many other concepts. For these solutions, the graph database versioning feature is not provided at level of the RDF stores tool, and it is quite complex and time consuming to be addressed as black box approach. In most cases the indexing is a time consuming process, and the rebuilding of the KB may imply manually edited long scripts that are error prone. Therefore, in order to solve these kinds of problems, this paper proposes a lifecycle methodology and a tool supporting versioning of indexes for RDF KB store. The solution proposed has been developed on the basis of a number of knowledge oriented projects as Sii-Mobility (smart city), RESOLUTE (smart city risk assessment), ICARO (smart cloud). Results are reported in terms of time saving and reliability.
Keywords — RDF Knowledge base versioning, graph stores versioning, RDF store management, knowledge base life cycle.

SoundSoftware: Software Sustainability for audio and Music Researchers SoundSoftware ac.uk
Presented at the SoundSoftware 2012 Workshop: http://soundsoftware.ac.uk/soundsoftware2012
Sustainable and reusable software and data are becoming increasingly important in today's research environment. Methods for processing audio and music have become so complex they cannot fully be described in a research paper. Even if really useful research is being done in one research group, other researchers may find it hard to build on this research - or even to know it exists. Researchers are becoming increasingly aware of the need to publish and maintain software code alongside their results, but practical barriers often prevent this from happening. We will describe the Sound Software project, an effort to support software development practice in the UK audio and music research community. We examine some of the the barriers to software reuse, and suggest an incremental approach to overcoming some of them. Finally we make some recommendations for research groups seeking to improve their own researchers' software practice.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Prof. Dr. Petra Schubert and Söhnke Grams at the Center for Enterprise Information Research (CEIR) Social Connections conference in Berlin on October 16-17, 2018.

Abstract
Open Source Software (OSS) is in regular widespread use supporting critical
applications and infrastructure, including the Internet and World Wide Web themselves. The communities of OSS users and developers are often interwoven. The deep engagement of users and developers, coupled with the openness of systems lead to community-based system design and re-design activities that are continuous. Continuous redesign is facilitated by communication and knowledge-
sharing infrastructures such as persistent chat rooms, newsgroups, issue-
reporting/tracking repositories, sharable design representations and many kinds of
"software informalisms." These tools are arenas for managing the extensive, varied,
multimedia community knowledge that forms the foundation and the substance of
system requirements. Active community-based design processes and knowledge repositories create new ways of learning about, representing, and defining systems that challenge current models of representation and design. This paper presents several aspects of our research into continuous, open, community-based design
practices. We discuss several new insights into how communities represent
knowledge and capture requirements that derive from our qualitative empirical
studies of large (ca. 2GB+) repositories of problem-report data, primarily from the
Mozilla project.
The document provides an update on the Project Group PUSHPIN. It summarizes that some members have left while others have been removed due to poor work quality, leaving 11 students remaining. It also outlines the goals of being self-organizing, having clear roles and responsibilities, and following industry best practices. Finally, it describes the purpose of the meeting as getting a description of the customer's general idea so work can be shifted to the group.
Review the steps involved in the research process (identifying the research problem, reviewing the literature, planning/design, collecting, analyzing storing & sharing data, quality control).
Identify the latest technology tools and apps (mobile, cloud-based, web-based) available for Lecturers and Librarians to utilize at each stage of the research process.
Introduce a range of emerging technology tools to enable researchers to conceptualize, conduct and complete research projects.

Faire Datenökonomie für Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft: Was brauch...Christoph Lange
In Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft entstehen zunehmend Infrastrukturen für Datenaustausch. Der Wirtschaft ist Vertrauen unter Geschäftspartnern wichtig und Souveränität darüber, was Andere mit meinen Daten machen – die Wissenschaft betont freie Zugänglichkeit und Nachnutzbarkeit. FAIR Data Spaces verbinden beides auf Grundlage gemeinsamer Prinzipien.
Was muss getan werden, damit Datenaustausch nicht mehr bedeutet, E-Mail-Anhänge zu verschicken oder Geheimnisse zentralen Plattformen feindlicher Mächte anzuvertrauen? Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft und öffentliche Verwaltung suchen zunehmend nach Lösungen, um den Datenaustausch sicher und effizient zu gestalten und damit neues Innovationspotenzial zu heben. Was gibt es schon, was ist geplant, und wie können vorhandene Initiativen zusammenwachsen, um Daten über die Grenzen dieser Welten hinaus gemeinsam zu nutzen?
Initiativen der Wirtschaft wie Gaia-X und International Data Spaces priorisieren den Aufbau von Vertrauen unter Geschäftspartner:innen ohne Papier-Verträge sowie die Souveränität darüber, was Andere mit den eigenen wertvollen Daten machen. In der Wissenschaft, zum Beispiel bei der Nationalen Forschungsdateninfrastruktur NFDI, geht es um freie Zugänglichkeit und Nachnutzbarkeit im Einklang mit ethischen Prinzipien. Der öffentlichen Hand ist neben dem freien Zugang etwa zu Open-Data-Portalen die digitale Daseinsvorsorge wichtig. Große Herausforderungen unserer Zeit erfordern Datenaustausch nicht nur innerhalb dieser Welten, sondern über ihre Grenzen hinaus:
zum Beispiel zwischen Forschungsinstituten und kleinen Technologie-Unternehmen, die nicht alle Daten selbst sammeln können,
oder zwischen großen Unternehmen mit reichen Datenschätzen und wirtschaftlichen Interessen und einer Nutzung dieser Daten für das Gemeinwohl.
Das Projekt FAIR Data Spaces schafft Bausteine für übergreifende Datenräume als Keimzellen einer fairen Datenökonomie nach gemeinsamen Prinzipien. Wir möchten diskutieren, wie weit die aus dem Forschungsdatenmanagement stammenden FAIR-Data-Prinzipien tragen, wonach Daten findable (auffindbar), accessible (zugänglich), interoperabel und reusable (nachnutzbar) sein sollen. Das Projekt verfolgt den Plan, vorhandene Initiativen organisatorisch, rechtlich, technisch und praktisch zu einer gemeinsamen Community zusammenzuführen, und lebt dabei von einer breiten Mitwirkung. Werdet mit dem Fraunhofer IUK-Verbund Teil dieser Community und bleibt dabei innovativ und kritisch!

Wir möchten diskutieren, wie weit die aus dem Forschungsdatenmanagement stammenden FAIR-Data-Prinzipien tragen, wonach Daten findable (auffindbar), accessible (zugänglich), interoperabel und reusable (nachnutzbar) sein sollen. Das Projekt verfolgt den Plan, vorhandene Initiativen organisatorisch, rechtlich, technisch und praktisch zu einer gemeinsamen Community zusammenzuführen, und lebt dabei von einer breiten Mitwirkung. Werdet mit dem Fraunhofer IUK-Verbund Teil dieser Community und bleibt dabei innovativ und kritisch!
Linked Open (Geo)Data and the Distributed Ontology Language – a perfect matchChristoph Lange
The Distributed Ontology Language is a meta-language for integrating
ontologies written in different languages. Our notion of “distributed”
comprises logical heterogeneity within ontologies, modularity and reuse,
and links across ontologies in different places of the Web. Not only
can ontologies be distributed across the Web, but DOL's supply of
supported ontology languages can also be extended in a decentral way.
For this functionality, DOL builds on the Linked Open Data (LOD)
principles. But DOL also contributes to LOD use cases. Many current
LOD applications are limited by the weak expressivity of the RDF and
RDFS languages commonly used to express data and vocabularies.
Completely switching to a more expressive language would impair
scalability to big datasets. DOL addresses the scalability and
expressivity requirements by allowing to represent each aspect of a
dataset in the most suitable language and keeping these different
representations connected. This is particularly useful in geographic
information systems, where big datasets (e.g. Linked Geo Data, the LOD
version of OpenStreetMap) need to be integrated with formalisations of
complex spatial notions (e.g. in the first-order language Common Logic).
The Distributed Ontology Language (DOL): Use Cases, Syntax, and ExtensibilityChristoph Lange
The document discusses the Distributed Ontology Language (DOL) which aims to support semantic integration and interoperability across heterogeneous ontologies. DOL allows for logically heterogeneous ontologies, modular ontologies, and formal and informal links between ontologies. It has a formal semantics and can be serialized in XML, RDF, and text. Examples of applications that could benefit from DOL include an ontology repository engine and a multilingual map user interface driven by aligned ontologies.
Bringing Mathematics To the Web of Data: the Case of the Mathematics Subject ...Christoph Lange
This document discusses redesigning the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) scheme as a linked dataset using SKOS. Key points include: representing the MSC hierarchy using SKOS concepts and properties; adding multilingual labels and mathematical markup; linking related concepts within and across schemes; and deploying the dataset on the web with a SPARQL endpoint for access. The redesign aims to facilitate maintenance and reuse while preserving all existing MSC information.
Semantic Web Technology: The Key to Making Scientific Information Systems SocialChristoph Lange
This document discusses how semantic web technologies can make scientific information systems more social. It provides examples of how schema.org defines structured data for annotating web pages with information like movies, reviews, and social relationships between people. It also briefly mentions Facebook's Open Graph protocol. The key points are that semantic web annotations allow machines to understand web data in order to assist users, initiatives like schema.org are making these annotations mainstream, and structured semantic data enables social features for information sharing and collaboration.
Making Heterogeneous Ontologies Interoperable Through StandardisationChristoph Lange
The document discusses making heterogeneous ontologies interoperable through standardization, presenting a scenario of an assisted living environment where different devices like a wheelchair and freezer need to communicate but use different ontologies. It argues for developing a standardized meta ontology language to facilitate integration and interoperability between these diverse ontologies used by different devices with varying knowledge needs.
Previewing OWL Changes and Refactorings Using a Flexible XML DatabaseChristoph Lange
The document discusses using a flexible XML database called TNTBase to preview changes and refactorings to ontologies. TNTBase allows editing ontologies through "virtual documents" that define editable XML views of ontology content. This enables refactoring ontologies by previewing the effects of changes like extracting subclasses into a new module before making the changes live. The document provides examples of refactoring an ontology in this way and describes the underlying library functions that power the refactoring previews.
The document proposes an architecture called JOBAD that allows mathematical documents to interactively access web services. JOBAD uses JavaScript to integrate definition lookup, unit conversion, and other services directly into OMDoc-based documents. This allows readers to interactively adapt document appearance and access remote explanations and computations without leaving the document interface. Future plans include more interactive customization and linking documents to external search and information resources.
The document describes a project to publish mathematics lecture notes as linked data. Key points:
1) Lecture notes containing 2,000 slides and 1,000 homework problems were semantically annotated and converted to RDF to create structured data.
2) The RDF is stored in a triplestore and can be queried with an OMDoc-aware SPARQL endpoint or full-text search.
3) Annotations in the human-readable XHTML documents link to services for interactivity. The goal is to scale this to 300,000 annotated publications and link to external datasets.
sTeX+ – a System for Flexible Formalization of Linked DataChristoph Lange
The document describes S EX+, an extension of S EX that allows formalizing and annotating technical documents with semantic metadata. S EX+ enables defining ad hoc vocabularies to describe project-specific concepts and annotate documents accordingly. It produces output in PDF, OMDoc+RDFa, and XHTML+MathML+RDFa to enable interactive services. S EX+ aims to balance formalization with flexibility for existing authoring practices.

Krextor is an extensible framework for contributing mathematical content from OpenMath CDs to the Web of Data. It converts OpenMath CDs, which are document-oriented, to RDF, which follows the graph-based RDF data model used by the Web of Data. As an example, it can link a mathematical property in an OpenMath CD to its identifier by grouping the property and giving it an ID, without modifying the original CD. This allows bootstrapping mathematics onto the Web of Data in
The document discusses the mathematical semantics of statistical data. It presents examples of derived statistical values for populations and unemployment rates for two locations. It raises questions about how to validate derived values and compute them for new data points. It proposes representing mathematical expressions as ordered n-ary trees in RDF to integrate math into the semantic web of data.

The document introduces the Distributed Ontology Language (DOL), which is part of the Ontology Integration and Interoperability (OntoIOP) standard. DOL aims to enable logical and modular heterogeneity across ontologies to improve semantic integration and interoperability. It will serve as a logic-agnostic meta-language for structuring ontologies, ontology modules, and formal and informal links between ontologies. DOL is intended to have well-defined semantics and serializations to XML, RDF, and text to facilitate reuse of existing ontologies and reasoning over heterogeneous ontological representations.

The document discusses the Distributed Ontology Language (DOL), a proposed standard being developed by ISO for expressing heterogeneous ontologies and links between ontologies. DOL aims to achieve semantic integration and interoperability across knowledge representations. It will have a formal semantics and support multiple serialization formats. The standard is being developed to facilitate communication and reduce complexity for applications involving multiple ontologies.
Processing and Publishing Content Math with JOMDoc and JOBADChristoph Lange
JOMDoc and JOBAD are libraries for processing and publishing content math. JOMDoc provides Java tools for working with OMDoc documents, including validation, rendering, and restructuring. JOBAD is a JavaScript API that makes OMDoc documents interactive by enabling features like customization, information lookup, rewriting, and discussion forums. Together JOMDoc and JOBAD allow integration of services like notation definitions, rendering, and external data into interactive math documents.
TNTBase – a Versioned Database for XML (Mathematical) DocumentsChristoph Lange
TNTBase is a versioned XML database that combines versioning features from Subversion with fine-grained XML access and supports virtual documents, a plugin API, RESTful interface, and GUI file manager. It is designed to store and manage mathematical content represented in XML formats and integrates with other tools for rendering, definition lookup, and semantic navigation of XML documents.
A Mathematical Approach to Ontology Authoring and DocumentationChristoph Lange
This document proposes using OMDoc, a framework for representing formal knowledge, to improve ontology authoring and documentation. It describes how OMDoc can:
1) Provide better support for modularity, documentation at different granularities, and linking documentation to formal representations compared to languages like OWL.
2) Model existing ontologies and translate between OMDoc and OWL/RDF formats to leverage existing tools.
3) Allow comprehensive, integrated documentation of ontologies through features like literate programming. The approach is evaluated by reimplementing the FOAF ontology in OMDoc.
