Initial Data Publication & Consumption Tools Library

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 08:54

Gives an overview of the phases of the publication and consumption process of Linked Data. It furthermore gives open source tool recommendations for each of the phases, which establish the first version of the LATC Data Publication & Consumption Tools Library.

Initial Documentation & Tutorials for Tools Library

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:04

Documents the usage of the tools that are recommended in the LATC Data Publication & Consumption Tools Library and describes an example usage of it.

First Deployment of Data Source Inventory

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:12

Describes the requirements of the Dataset Inventory (DSI), and how the interface seeks to meet these requirements; it discusses the data sources combined in the Metadata Store (MDS), how the DSI is initially implemented.

First Deployment of Linking Engine

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:15

Describes the LATC Linking Engine and its setup as part of the LATC 24/7 24/7. It first introduces Silk, the Linking Engine for LATC and then presents its integration in the 24/7 Platform by the LATC Runtime.

First Deployment of Quality Assurance Module

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:18

Describe how quality assurance (QA) works in the LATC 24/7 Platform. The methods presented in the report mainly involve detecting and assessing the quality of such links. We distinguish between internal quality assurance,
which happens within the LATC platform and external quality assurance, which involves crawling the Web of Data and computing a number of metrics to assess its quality.

First
 Report 
on 
Models
 for
 Distributed
 Computing

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:22

Explores different models of distributed computing that are or could be used for the LATC 24/7 Platform. Altogether, the Linking Engine from WP1T3 and the Quality Module from WP1T4 are expected to process billions of triples in order to create, evaluate and maintain millions of RDF links between the data sources. This report provides an overview of relevant techniques and reports on the one currently deployed.

Performance Measurements and Bottleneck Analysis

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:24

Based on the LATC 24/7 Platform interfaces and interplay this report identifies the main performance bottlenecks of the LATC 24/7 Platform and provides eight preventive actions for addressing them. We then give a detailed account of how we analysed the 24/7 Platform and identified the bottlenecks.

Report on the Publication of Business-related Datasets

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:27

Reports on the publication of business-related produced by European Institutions as Linked Data on the Web. Besides the publication, the datasets were interlinked with corresponding datasets on the Web of Data. Procedures for keeping the data sources up‐to‐date in respect to original sources have been established and reported on. See also the GitHub repository for the current state ...

Evaluation Report of Publication & Consumption Tools Library

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:29

Reports on the outcome of a survey we conducted on the initial version of the Publication & Consumption Tools Library in order to improve the library and the presented tools further. We describe which questions were asked in the survey and why, describe the execution of the survey and present the obtained results.

Initial Publication and Consumption Best Practice Guide

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:34

Provides a collection of best practice guides for Linked Data publishing and consuming.

Initial Sustainability Report

published by Michael Hausenblas on Thu, 2011-09-08 09:35

Outlines the sustainability of the output of the LATC Support Action, as a whole, and of its component parts, after the end of the project in 2012.

Schema.org support

published by Michael Hausenblas on Fri, 2011-09-09 08:00

In early June 2011, the three big search engines Bing, Google and Yahoo! introduced Schema.org, a collection of terms that webmasters can use to markup their pages to improve the display of search results. The collection of terms was published originally in HTML only. LATC has taken the initiative and provided, within 24h, an initial RDFS version of the Schema.org terms via a new site: Schema.RDFS.org with the aim to support Schema.org deployment and usage with a special focus on Linked Data.

Linked Data life cycles

published by Michael Hausenblas on Fri, 2011-09-09 08:07

Existing data management approaches assume control over schema, data and data generation, which is not the case in open, de-centralised environments such as the Web. The lack of control means that there are social processes necessary to generate ’ordo ab chao’. Based on our experience in Linked Data publishing and consumption over the past years, we have identify involved parties and fundamental phases, which provide for a multitude of so called Linked Data life cycles.
