Semantic MediaWik as Co-Creation Tool - Digital Humanities Austria #DHA2015Bernhard Krabina
This document discusses the use of Semantic MediaWiki as a tool for co-creation. It describes how the Vienna History Wiki uses Semantic MediaWiki to digitize a printed encyclopedia, store facts within wiki pages, and export data as open data. Key features highlighted include structured data entry, faceted search, querying data, and automatically generating pages from the stored information. The document argues that Semantic MediaWiki provides an open-source, easy to use tool for collaborative knowledge management and sharing information as open data.
The document discusses electronic archiving of published information by Statistics Denmark. It describes what information is archived, such as books, PDFs, websites, and databases. It explains that information is archived for legal and practical reasons, including to have a record in case of disputes. The archiving process involves using an in-house developed crawler called FIDO to take monthly snapshots of websites and weekly/daily snapshots of key pages and economic figures. The archived information is stored and accessible via various sources such as the Wayback Machine, DST's internal archive, and the Royal Library.
OSFair2017 Workshop | The European Open Science Cloud, the way forwardOpen Science Fair
Athanasios Karalopoulos presents EOSC | OSFair2017 Workshop
Workshop title: Open Science policy in the context of EOSC governance framework
Workshop overview:
The challenge of EOSC governance is how to construct a framework allowing varied and disparate stakeholders to work together. The EOSCPilot project has established a Governance Development Forum (EGDF) so that all stakeholders can contribute to the development of a governance framework to inform the establishment of EOSC and its governance structure. In this workshop we will discuss how Open Science should manifest in the EOSC governance framework.

his paper describes TM/XML, an XML syntax for topic maps that is very close to the natural, or colloquial, XML representation the information in the topic map. It can be used to integrate non-topic map systems with topic map systems, and also to easily create topic maps from XML data.
Connecting Topincs - Using transclusion to connect proxy spacestmra
Topincs is a software system for agile and distributed knowledge management on top of the common web infrastructure and the Topic Maps Data Model. It segments knowledge into stores and offers users a way to establish a temporary connection between stores through transclusion and merging. This allows them to easily copy topics and statements. Through this mechanism later acts of integration are simplified, because of matching item identifiers. Furthermore transclusion can be used to create permanent connections between stores.

Real-time Generation of Topic Maps from Speech Streamstmra
Topic Maps are means for representing sophisticated indexes of any information collections for the purpose of semantic information. The creation of Topic Maps bases on a theoretic fundament which is introduced in this paper. Moreover, the Observation Principle is the result of a deep investigation of the Subject Equality Decision Chain will be discussed as well as the Semantic Talk System which generates sophisticated, conceptual indexes of speech streams in realtime. This paper describes how these indexes are created, how they are represented as Topic Maps and how they can be used for integration purposes.
Currently, the most common way to programmatically access Topic Maps data is the use of a Topic Maps API, like TMAPI. Another approach, besides the use of a query language like TMQL, is the encapsulation of the Topic Maps related code in domain-specific model classes. This concept is similar to object-relational mapping (ORM) which encapsulates access to a relational database inside the model classes. These techniques decouple the data store specific code from the business logic. For ORM, there are several prevalent design patterns, most notable the Active Record pattern by Fowler. For Topic Maps, no such pattern is established. This paper introduces Active Topic Maps, a pattern for topic maps -- object mapping, the domain-specific language ActiveTMML to define such a mapping and a prototypical implementation, called ActiveTM. ActiveTM is based on Ruby Topic Maps and also supports the generation of web-formulars based on ActiveTMML definitions. This full-featured software stack greatly improves the development productivity of Topic Maps based portals compared to other solutions.
This paper will introduce a number of predefined elements for the topic mas data model. The paper will start with a short introduction of the level and possible context of these elements. Then the problem the elements proposed here are supposed to solve will be described. This will be the problem of adding temporal qualifications to a topic map. A set of criteria for the quality of a possible solution will be given and possible solutions will be evaluated against these criteria. This will lead to the final proposal for adding temporal qualification to a topic map.
Topic Maps Web Service: Case Examples and General Structuretmra
We implemented Topic Maps besed web applications which use the Topic Maps web service. We are publishing the applications on the internet. By using the service, according to identified subjects the web applications can get richer information from other topic map web applications easily and effectively. In this paper, we describe usable components for the service. We report the case examples of topic map web applications and Topic Maps web services which we implemented. They use the PSIs to identify subjects among applications. They also use TMRAP (Topic Maps Remote Access Protocol) which is a Web API to exchange Topic Maps fragment. We also consider the general structure of Topic Maps web service.

Here are a few approaches to address the context demand challenge for machine translation of cultural heritage content:
- Leverage knowledge graphs and ontologies to disambiguate terms based on conceptual relationships
- Train domain-specific models on large cultural heritage corpora to capture nuances of language use in different contexts
- Perform multi-task learning to optimize models for both translation accuracy and conceptual mapping between languages
- Allow users to provide feedback to iteratively improve disambiguation of ambiguous terms over time
- Develop specialized interfaces that surface contextual clues from objects to help machine translation
The goal is to mimic how humans understand intended meaning based on surrounding context clues. Combining linguistic and conceptual techniques can help machines do the same.

The Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM) sector deals with complex and varied data. Integrating that data, especially across institutions, has always been a challenge. Semantic data integration is the best approach to deal with such challenges. Linked Open Data (LOD) enable large-scale Digital Humanities (DH) research, collaboration and aggregation, allowing DH researchers to make connections between (and make sense of) the multitude of digitized Cultural Heritage (CH) available on the web. An upsurge of interest in semtech and LOD has swept the CH and DH communities. An active Linked Open Data for Libraries, Archives and Museums (LODLAM) community exists, CH data is published as LOD, and international collaborations have emerged. The value of LOD is especially high in the GLAM sector, since culture by its very nature is cross-border and interlinked. We present interesting LODLAM projects, datasets, and ontologies, as well as Ontotext's experience in this domain. An extended paper on these topics is also available. It has 77 pages, 67 figures, detailed info about CH content and XML standards, Wikidata and global authority control.

Topic Maps for improved access to and use of content in relational databases ...tmra
The document describes a case study using topic maps to improve access to content from a relational database of German variety lists. A topic maps-based web application was built on top of the relational data to offer subject-centric access through networked knowledge models, providing many access paths and perspectives not possible in the original data-centric interface. This increased the usability and answerability of questions over the restricted views of the original relational database interface.
In order to cope with large-scale topic maps that store a lot of information, it is necessary to utilize topic map databases. Although, database management systems should provide users with external schema functions such as views, topic map databases do not have such functions. In this paper, we propose a method of implementing a view function, by focusing on the fact that the substructure of topic maps can be regarded as a topic map. In order to realize the idea, we developed an access control system based on the view function. Through an experiment to measure the execution time, we confirmed that these functions work correctly and have little effect on the execution time.
1) A case study describes a Topic Maps-based web application that was built on top of a document-centric content management system (CMS) used for a website about a regional cluster of biotech companies.
2) The Topic Maps application improved usability by enabling subject-centric views of information rather than isolating related pieces of information across many documents. It allowed multiple access paths to information through different perspectives and views generated from the underlying topic map graph.
3) The Topic Maps application provided concise, one-click access to information about companies located in particular areas, active in specific fields, or related to other companies or projects, improving on the usability of isolating this information across many pages in the
Subject Headings make information to be topic mapstmra
This paper reports the efforts to make topic maps from Subject Headings (SHs) and discuss practical use of them for organizing information and knowledge. SHs are often maintained by libraries and used in bibliographic records. SHs are thesauri and they are well organized. Fortunately some SHs are published on the Web. We transformed them to topic maps. Usually each subject in SHs has own ID. It can play PSI role. By keeping the relationships included in SHs such as Broader-Narrower, Related, USE-UF etc in topic maps, information or knowledge can be linked together and organized according to the structure of SHs. In other words, by using SHs information and knowledge can be topic maps easily.
Inquiry Optimization Technique for a Topic Map Databasetmra
This document proposes an inquiry optimization technique for topic map databases. It discusses using an object-oriented data model for topic map databases to improve query performance compared to a relational model. The document defines cost estimation formulas to help the database system select the optimal retrieval route, either following associations or searching by topic, when answering queries. An experiment is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of using these cost estimations to optimize queries of a topic map database.
Topic Merge Scenarios for Knowledge Federationtmra
This paper introduces a socio-technical infrastructure, described as a boundary infrastructure, based on improvements to existing and emerging Issue-based Information Systems (IBIS) conversation platforms.
1. The document discusses using the tmjs Topic Maps engine, written in JavaScript, for server-side applications like a PSI server.
2. Tmjs allows full Topic Maps processing in JavaScript and can operate on servers via Node.js.
3. A sample PSI server application is shown that uses tmjs and Node.js to serve Topic Map-based information about subjects from an HTTP request.
This document discusses modeling QTI (IMS Question and Test Interoperability) assessments in topic maps. QTI is used to share assessment content between systems but has changing specifications that are challenging to support. Embedding QTI questions and responses as topics within a topic map allows the content to be richer than QTI and supports generating QTI output. An example shows embedding gaps and sounds within a fill-in-the-blank question topic. Authoring tools can generically edit embedded topics. This technique is useful for other content like images, links, and videos. In conclusion, embedding topics solved their needs and is used extensively in their production systems.
The document discusses Hatana, a virtual merging engine that creates a unified view of information from multiple data sources by merging them on demand according to Topic Map standards. Hatana behaves like a topic map layer over the underlying sources, merging topics, associations, and other constructs virtually based on equality rules while maintaining the original sources. This allows related information to be queried and browsed together seamlessly.
Designing a gui_description_language_with_topic_mapstmra
The document proposes a GUI Description Language (GDL) that uses Topic Maps to generate configurable and domain-specific user interfaces. GDL aims to simplify Topic Maps for end users by defining default values, restricting actions, and automatically generating identifiers and layouts corresponding to the semantic meaning of the data domain. However, GDL also inserts an additional layer of processing between the user and the Topic Map engine. The document discusses the goals and features of GDL, and concludes that GDL can bridge users and Topic Map internals without limiting the ontology, while allowing customizable but not hard-coded user interfaces.
Maiana is a platform for structured data developed by Lutz Maicher and Uta Schulze at the University of Leipzig. It allows users to manage, browse, query, and validate topic maps. Maiana is social in that it enables users to discuss resources, observe data sources, and follow other users. Data sources on Maiana can be kept private or shared publicly. The platform also includes an API and semantic search capabilities.
1. The document proposes using the Nintendo Wii Remote as an intuitive interface for interacting with web-based learning content, such as a topic map-based science learning website.
2. Specifically, it describes using the Wii Remote as a pointer for real-world interactions like selecting constellations, and as a navigation device for exploring 3D representations and the structure of the topic map.
3. Motions and buttons on the Wii Remote are mapped to navigating different aspects of the topic map and triggering content from the website in an immersive way, allowing students to intuitively explore related science topics.
Automatic semantic interpretation of unstructured data for knowledge managementtmra
The document summarizes a demo of an automatic semantic analysis technique for knowledge discovery from unstructured data like Wikipedia articles. The demo shows a linked concept graph and linked data graph created by analyzing astronomy articles. It also discusses how the technique can be used for knowledge representation, discovery, navigation, and intelligence by linking isolated data and deriving a taxonomy. The technical solution takes a bottom-up approach using semantic data integration and analysis to dynamically create and update object and concept graphs in real-time from various data sources.
The document discusses putting Topic Maps to REST. It describes existing Topic Map APIs and their limitations. It then introduces Tropics, a proposed RESTful API for Topic Maps. Tropics would support resources like topics, associations, and search results. It advocates the HATEOAS principle to structure navigation between resources. The document outlines Tropics' proposed URI structure and status of implementation.
Evaluation of Instances Asset in a Topic Maps-Based Ontologytmra
The document discusses evaluating the information asset of topics in a topic maps ontology. It describes assigning partial weights to topics based on attribute richness and total weights based on surrounding topic descriptions. The user can set attribute weights and weights for three categories of associations. Normalizing total topic weights results in information asset values that can be used to rank search results based on usefulness to the user.
Defining Domain-Specific Facets for Topic Maps With TMQL Path Expressionstmra
The automatic generation of facets works fairly bad for fine-modeled ontologies, in which not all information concerning a single Topic is available through occurrences and direct associations. In this paper, we share our conception of using TMQL path expressions for the definition of domain-specific facets by means of using standard-based Topic Maps technologies. The generated facets must be evaluated, even though they are defined manually by a domain expert. We therefore propose metrics for automatic evaluation of the defined facets, as well as a mechanism for using automatically stored user feedback.
The document outlines the schedule for a two-day Topic Maps tutorial. Day one includes talks on using Topic Maps for discourse semantics, developing ontologies and facet definitions, and Topic Maps tools and applications. Day two covers semantic integration approaches, integrating Topic Maps with content management systems, interpreting unstructured data, merging topic maps, and modeling learning standards. A poster session is also included on using the Wii remote for an educational website.
This document summarizes a PHP library called KBI Library that allows integration between PHP content management systems (CMS) and knowledge bases. The library acts as an information broker between the CMS and knowledge bases, enabling presentation of knowledge contained in knowledge bases through the CMS. It features a generic implementation to support standard operations and specific implementations for Ontopia knowledge bases. It also includes administration and editor interfaces for Joomla to manage remote sources and queries.
