The Semantic Web

Science OnlineKristi Holmes & Antony Williams

January 20, 2012

We humans have always applied tools to our work to make things

work better…

Simple Machines

Semantic Web Value Proposition

• At its heart, the Semantic Web is really about extending standard Web technologies to better deal with data on the Web.

• Its fundamental approach is to create a uniform data model and a simple grammar that are realized through a Web language known as the RDF standard which provide a means to give Web addresses to data elements.

George Thomas and Jim Hendler, http://www.data.gov/communities/node/116/blogs/142

Semantic Web Value Proposition

• Resources associated with subjects, predicates (properties and objects & all get HTTP dereferenceable URI's, with different serialized representations to suit machine (apps) and human (browser) user preferences.

• By normalizing the way we access, process, persist, and visualize data across domains, we simplify mashups and maintenance and unleash more innovation powered by democratized data.

Using languages designed for data

RDF | OWL | XML

Semantic web: describes methods and technologies to allow machines to understand the meaning or "semantics” of information on the web. -- W3C director Sir Tim Berners-Lee

Ontology: a formal representation of the knowledge by a set of concepts within a domain and the relationships between those concepts.-- Wikipedia

The semantic advantage

Data modeled as bidirectional relationships

Data are structured as “triples” as subject-predicate-object and information is stored using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) .

Concepts and their relationships use a shared ontology to facilitate the harvesting of data from multiple sources.

The 5 Stars of Linked Open Data

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

http://lab.linkeddata.deri.ie/2010/star-scheme-by-example/

AVAILABILITY & VALUE

Datasets published in Linked Data form (2011)http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/

Ok! Now let’s dig into a few good examples of how we can put

these things to work

OpenPHACTS

Open PHACTS Project• Develop a set of robust standards…• Implement the standards in a semantic integration hub• Deliver services to support drug discovery programs in

pharma and public domain• 22 partners, 8 pharmaceutical companies, 3 biotechs• 36 months project

Guiding principle is open access, open usage, open source- Key to standards adoption -
