Data on the Web

Overview

Data is information about things

7

Data is something machines can process

Data drives applications (e.g. web sites, mobile services)

Data is relations among things

“Open”

material (data) is open if it can be freely used,

reused and redistributed by anyone

“Government data”

data and information produced or

commissioned by government or

government controlled entities.

What is Open (Government) Data?

Definition

• Transparency

• Participation

• Collaboration

“My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of

openness in Government.” – Barack Obama “Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies – Transparency and Open Government” Jan 2009

The Web as a Global Data Platform

Let’s Start

15

All data including documents, services, people ...

DATA DATA links

The Semantic Web is not about links between web pages.

16

“The Semantic Web isn't just about putting data on the web. It is about making links, so that a person or

machine can explore the web of data. With linked data, when you have some of it, you can find other, related,

data” - TBL.

Linked Data & The Semantic Web

Overview

17

5 Stars Open linked data

Make your stuff available on the Web

Make it avaiable as structured data

Use open, standard formats (instead of excel)

Use a open data format – URLs, descriptions

Link your data to other people’s data

What is the Semantic Web for?

Search Inference Intelligence Standards

Google’s Semantic Search

Case Studies

People should be able to ask questions and we should understand their meaning, or they should be able to talk

about things at a conceptual level. ... A lot of people will turn to things like the semantic Web as a possible answer to

that.“ - Google Vice President of Search Products & User Experience Marissa Mayer

25

an initiative launched on 2 June 2011 by Bing, Google and Yahoo!

to "create and support a common set of schemas for structured data markup on web pages."

http://schema.org/docs/full.html

The Knowledge Graph is a collection of information sources that

help discern a user’s specified intent with each individual query.

The graph is actually an encyclopedia with structured information

obtained from the web. (currently, 200 million entities)

Freebase is an open, Creative Commons licensed repository

of structured data of almost 22 million entities. An entity is a single

person, place, or thing connected by a graph.

Apple’s Siri

Case Studies

Ask Siri how Apple recorded the best quarter in history for a tech company, and her answer should be: "Me."

26

Siri (Speech Interpretation and Recognition Interface) is

an intelligent personal assistant and knowledge navigator which

works as an application for Apple's iOS.

A Brief History

- In December 2007 Siri, Inc. was formed by Dag Kittlaus (CEO),

Adam Cheyer (VP Engineering), and Tom Gruber (CTO/VP Design).

- Siri Inc. went after funding and by November 2009 it had

secured $15.5 million investment, resulted in the creation of the

first Siri application, which debuted on the iPhone 3GS in

February 2010.

- Siri acquired by Apple; iPhone becomes the Virtual Personal

Assistant

Knowledge Navigator (1987)

a concept described by former Apple Computer CEO John

Sculley in his 1987 book, Odyssey.

Active Ontology

Case Studies

A processing formalism where distinct processing elements are arranged according to ontology notions;

an execution environment.

Basic concepts

* Ontology : A data structure

- Formal representation for domain knowledge

- Classes, attributes, relations

* Active Ontology : A processing environment

- Processing elements arranged according to ontology notions

- Communication channels
