TPDL2013 tutorial linked data for digital libraries 2013-10-22jodischneider
Tutorial on Linked Data for Digital Libraries, given by me, Uldis Bojars, and Nuno Lopes in Valletta, Malta at TPDL2013 on 2013-10-22.
http://tpdl2013.upatras.gr/tut-lddl.php
This half-day tutorial is aimed at academics and practitioners interested in creating and using Library Linked Data. Linked Data has been embraced as the way to bring complex information onto the Web, enabling discoverability while maintaining the richness of the original data. This tutorial will offer participants an overview of how digital libraries are already using Linked Data, followed by a more detailed exploration of how to publish, discover and consume Linked Data. The practical part of the tutorial will include hands-on exercises in working with Linked Data and will be based on two main case studies: (1) linked authority data and VIAF; (2) place name information as Linked Data.
For practitioners, this tutorial provides a greater understanding of what Linked Data is, and how to prepare digital library materials for conversion to Linked Data. For researchers, this tutorial updates the state of the art in digital libraries, while remaining accessible to those learning Linked
Data principles for the first time. For library and iSchool instructors, the tutorial provides a valuable introduction to an area of growing interest for information organization curricula. For digital library project managers, this tutorial provides a deeper understanding of the principles of Linked Data, which is needed for bespoke projects that involve data mapping and the reuse of existing metadata models.
A presentation given at the "Data Stewardship: Increasing the Integrity and Effectiveness of Science and Scholarship" Session on Friday, June 8 2012 at the IASSIT 2012 conference in Washington DC.
This presentation introduced data publishing, using a social science (archaeology) case study to explore editorial processes and dissemination outcomes that increasingly demand “Linked Data” capabilities.

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.

#opentourism - Linked Open Data Publishing and Discovery WorkshopRaf Buyle
This session will bring a solution to one of the main issues in the field of application development for the tourism and leisure sector. A lot of projects fail because the underlying systems and databases are too difficult to connect or because it is too costly to do. We will share and discuss the ‘Open Standard for Tourism Ecosystems Data’, developed by touristic actors in Flanders and a tool for aggregating existing data and mapping it to the tourism vocabulary, which has been tested with local data in the region of West-Flanders.
Usage of Linked Data: Introduction and Application ScenariosEUCLID project
This presentation introduces the main principles of Linked Data, the underlying technologies and background standards. It provides basic knowledge for how data can be published over the Web, how it can be queried, and what are the possible use cases and benefits. As an example, we use the development of a music portal (based on the MusicBrainz dataset), which facilitates access to a wide range of information and multimedia resources relating to music.

About the Webinar
The library and cultural institution communities have generally accepted the vision of moving to a Linked Data environment that will align and integrate their resources with those of the greater Semantic Web. But moving from vision to implementation is not easy or well-understood. A number of institutions have begun the needed infrastructure and tools development with pilot projects to provide structured data in support of discovery and navigation services for their collections and resources.
Join NISO for this webinar where speakers will highlight actual Linked Data projects within their institutions—from envisioning the model to implementation and lessons learned—and present their thoughts on how linked data benefits research, scholarly communications, and publishing.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/sillygwailo/272291003/
48. A cautionary word about vocabularies
• Caution: what libraries call vocabularies is not
necessarily what we mean...
• This is how we organize information and
triangulate the data we’re looking for
• How we agree on predicates
• Ontologies like FOAF, OWL, http://id.loc.gov/,
VIAF, etc.
49. In summary Linked
• Graphs
• Human AND Machine readable
• Triples, RDF
• Vocabulary, agreed terms for organizing info
51. The “Open” part of Linked Open
Open Data
• Considerations and ramifications
• Difference between shared, published, open
• Legal tools
• Precedents/Examples
52. Expose yourself, be vulnerable
• This is the major cultural shift, the tide rising
amongst institutions, that data wants to be free in
a culture economy.
• There is value in sharing
• It does require a leap of faith, but risks and
rewards should be carefully considered and
calculated
• Excellent resource: JISC Open Bibliographic Data
Guide http://obd.jisc.ac.uk/
53. What will happen to your data?
• If you want people to do something with your
data/metadata, you have to put it out there
• But once you do, it’s [mostly] out of your control.
Yet it can be a part of something much greater
than any of the component parts

55. Metadata vs. data, assets, digital
surrogates
• A key conceptual shift with Open Data is
looking at metadata and data as two separate
things, that can have different licensing and
permissions
58. What are the legal tools for
publishing Open Data?
59. Legal Tools

60. Concerns and Limitations
• There is some argument about whether or not
metadata can be protected under copyright at all.
Copyright protects a creative work, and some
argue that metadata is scientific fact, rather than
creative work.
• Databases are protected differently in the EU and
US, for example.
• Public Domain and No Known Copyright
Restrictions...
• Issuing blanket copyright over all works on a
website, even though some may be in the public
domain
61. Examples and precedents
• Bibliographic data:
• British Library (CC0), University of Michigan
(CC0), Stanford (CC-BY) have published large,
raw datasets of original bibliographic data they
have created
62. Examples and precedents
• Civil War Data 150
• Metadata from contributing federal
institutions are largely considered to be Public
Domain.
• State, local, university & individual researchers
are considering policies for metadata
publishing on a case by case basis.
65. Sciences leading the way vs. Humanities?
• In the sciences, there have been a lot of advances
in the realm of Open Data, which will provide
models for humanities research as well

people much smarter than I were already on it. earlier in 2009, the father of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, was taking his message of Linked Open Data to the streets. How we can build a web of data... sounds familiar... and it seems to worked out the first time... From a web of documents, to a web of data\n
and that web of data is already growing rapidly...\n
What if we begin to apply this to the vast amounts of data at libraries, archives, and museums?\n
