RDF AND LINKED DATA Jenn Riley Head, Carolina Digital Library and Archives The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

21 st century information landscape Everything interconnected Build on others’ data Semantic Web Think of it as authority files on steroids It’s all very meta March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 2

Linked Data Use URIs as names for things Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up these names When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information, using standards Include links to other URIs, so that they can discover more things March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 3 Tim Berners-Lee, Linked Data – Design Issues

The RDF data model is a graph March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 4 From RDF Primer

Graphs are made up of triples March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 5 From RDF Primer This is a “statement,” aka a “triple”. A statement is made in a particular direction. subject object predicate

The centrality of URIs in RDF 6 RDF uses URIs to identify: individuals, e.g., Eric Miller, identified by kinds of things, e.g., Person, identified by erson properties of those things, e.g., mailbox, identified by mailbox values of those properties, e.g. as the value of the mailbox property (RDF also uses character strings such as "Eric Miller", and values from other datatypes such as integers and dates, as the values of properties) Figure and text from RDF Primer March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class

Blank nodes March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 7 Figure from RDF Primer This blank node stands in for “John Smith’s address”

Encoding a graph into data March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 8

Woah. Really?!? Nobody is meant to create this data in this form directly. Really. March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 9 Libraries encoding data in this form opens up enormous possibilities for us to participate in the wider information community. Let’s explore that idea.

This is the last of the XML, I promise. March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 10

Some realities of RDF that scare us March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 11 No predetermined set of properties to care about No guarantee that the same person/item/place/whatever are always referred to with the same URI No inherent mechanism/requirement for vetting properties, URIs, etc But let’s be frank here. Are our library/archive/museum records really: Complete? Authoritative? Consistent? Accurate? All that functional for what we want to do?

Other important features of the Semantic Web/Linked Data environment The RDF graph model is the most important thing; encoding triples in a specific syntax is secondary The concept of a “record” isn’t really meaningful when looking at the information world as a graph Open world assumption Many vocabularies, with connections between them Expectation that implementations will deal with data from multiple sources Reasoners March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 12

How do you… March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 13 find all the triples you need? know what predicates and URIs to use when creating new triples? know what predicates and URIs to use when processing data?

Infrastructure that we’ll need Ways to identify trusted data sources Ways to identify and understand properties and classes defined by others Best practices for data caching Actual shared cataloging We’ll need to stop downloading records. I mean that. Better data creation, management, sharing, and exposure systems Ones that actually work Library community best practices on where to scope our data creation efforts March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 14

Here’s one part of that emerging infrastructure March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 15

Large Linked Data initiatives to watch Named graphs Provenance WG Also watch DC-Architecture March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 16

What the library community is doing Exposing authority (and more recently bibliographic) data, and vocabularies as Linked Data W3C Linked Library Data Incubator Group Stanford Linked Data Technology Plan RDA as data elements in Open Metadata Registry Still dancing around official endorsement LC Bibliographic Framework Transition Initiative “The new bibliographic framework project will be focused on the Web environment, Linked Data principles and mechanisms, and the Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a basic data model.” (From html) March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 17

My burning question What would it mean for libraries to be LD consumers, and not just publishers? March 28, 2012NCCU Metadata Class 18
