Linked Data: What is it, how does it work? Linked Europeana... Object Representations in Context … and what can you do with that? Conclusion: on the importance of being 'open'

Declaration by Commissioner Reding on the “European Digital Library” flagship as part of i2010. Launch (and crash) of a first prototype Constant growth and stable operations since then, > 15M objects represented to date Still basically yet another portal, a big one – but nothing innovative...

7 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles The Web of Documents Information Management: A Proposal (TBL, 1989)

8 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles Resources and Links in the Document Web We have HTTP URIs to identify resources and links between them – but we are missing a few things! What kinds of resources are 'Louvre.html' and 'LaJoconde.jpg'? A machine cannot tell. Humans can: we recognize implied context! How exactly do they relate to each other? A machine cannot tell. Humans can: again we recognize implied context!

9 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles Syntactically Extending the Document Web (1) We add a syntax for making statements on resources: RDF Or, more generally triples... … where S and P are web resources (identified using URIs) and O is either a web resource or a literal

10 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles Syntactically Extending the Document Web (2) We add a schema language (RDFS) with elements such as classes, hierarchies of classes and properties, inheritance support for basic inferencing. And thus are able to establish structures in triple aggregations resulting in lightweight domain ontologies:

11 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles … and new opportunities: Triple Sets and Reasoning (1)

12 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles Triple Sets and Reasoning (2)

13 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles Triple Sets and Reasoning (3) → Potential of novel digital heuristics!

14 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles The Web of Things … Somewhat Mistaken Taken from Ronald Carpentier's Blog at Something is wrong with this picture (but what?) But basically we extend the WWW in syntax (RDF) and in scope (enable representation of virtually everything in the Web). And this results in...

21 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles EDM “Europeana Data Model” (EDM) destined to replace the current model (ESE) with the 2011 release of Europeana Builds a roof on top of various cultural heritage domains (Archives, Museums, Libraries, Audio-Visual) Builds on standards such as SKOS, DCterms and OAI- ORE … allows for Semantic Web representation of Cultural Heritage

28 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles What if... Europeana EDM is fully implemented and data migrated. Data originating from public bodies (PSI) are available as LoD As in : And we combine all this with the rest of the Cloud: what use to make of all this? → Into knowledge generation!

31 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles … and the political bit

32 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles On the Importance of being 'Open' (1) “Openness (allowing access) is separate question.” (TBL, Does Linked Data work without being 'open'? Technically speaking: yes (cf. pharma industry or biomedical data) But it gets quite expensive that way … … much too expensive, probably, for Europeana to afford! And much of its 'semantic' charms of open flow of RDF statements and reasoning potential would be lost in such a setting, anyway. As a consequence, we aim at Europeana data being Open Linked Data (more in a Europeana Foundation statement at ) and at Europeana data being under CC0!

33 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles On the Importance of being 'Open' (2) This has a number of implications No control over data usage No income to be generated from data access and use Innovative and (commercially) attractive services can be built on LoD → Do not repeat mistakes we are very familiar with from the Open Access debates of the past 10 years! 'open' vs. 'free', 'free' vs. 'commercial' → Do not exclude commercial reuse for Europeana metadata! → What is the actual value of context (in business terms!)?

34 Linked Open Europeana: Semantic European Cultural Heritage Prof. Dr. Stefan Freedom Day. Bruxelles Europeana will have been a Success... … once this lovely beast uses our data and functionality!
