Semantic Web - Introduction

What is the Semantic Web? www.pleso.net for Codecamp 2009 Kyiv, Ukraine 2009-01-15, Amsterdam, The Netherlands Ivan Herman, W3C ReadWriteWeb Microformats

Let’s organize a trip to Budapest using the Web!

You try to find a proper flight with …

… a big, reputable airline, or …

… the airline of the target country, or …

You have to find a hotel, so you look for…

… a really cheap accommodation, or …

… or a really luxurious one, or …

oops, that is no good, the page is in Hungarian that almost nobody understands, but…

Of course, you could decide to trust a specialized site…

You may want to know something about Budapest; look for some photographs…

but you can also look at a (social) travel site

What happened here? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Another example: social sites. I have a list of “friends” by…

… and, of course, the ubiquitous Facebook

What would we like to have? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

But wait! Isn’t what mashup sites are already doing?

Let us put it together ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

So What is the Semantic Web?

It is a collection of standard technologies to realize a Web of Data WWW -> GGG (Giant Global Graph)

What is needed? ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The rough structure of data integration ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

A simplified bookstore data (dataset “A”)

1 st : export your data as a set of relations

Some notes on the exporting the data ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Another bookstore data (dataset “F”)

2 nd : export your second set of data

3 rd : start merging your data

3 rd : start merging your data (cont.)

3 rd : merge identical resources

Start making queries… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

However, more can be achieved… ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

3 rd revisited: use the extra knowledge

Start making richer queries! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Combine with different datasets ,[object Object],[object Object]

It could become even more powerful ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Simple SPARQL example SELECT ?isbn ?price ?currency # note: not ?x! WHERE {?isbn a:price ?x. ?x rdf:value ?price. ?x p:currency ?currency.}

Simple SPARQL example ,[object Object],SELECT ?isbn ?price ?currency # note: not ?x! WHERE {?isbn a:price ?x. ?x rdf:value ?price. ?x p:currency ?currency.}

Pattern constraints SELECT ?isbn ?price ?currency # note: not ?x! WHERE { ?isbn a:price ?x. ?x rdf:value ?price. ?x p:currency ?currency. FILTER(?currency == € } ,[object Object]
