7. 7 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Semantic Web technologies Technologies developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Goal: make the Web a universal medium for data, information and knowledge exchange HTML, XML -> RDF, RDFS, OWL, … Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

8. 8 ELIS – Multimedia Lab RDF RDF (Resource Description Framework) Triples: subject – predicate – object URI to identify resources “The author of the note is Tim” Serialisatie in XML: http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# http://www.example.org/#note Note Tim hasAuthor Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

9. 9 ELIS – Multimedia Lab RDFS RDF Schema Standardised terms to describe concepts Introduces classes and instances Subclasses, subproperties –Hierarchy! Note1 Tim hasAuthor Class Note Class Person rdf:type Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

10. 10 ELIS – Multimedia Lab OWL Web Ontology Language, W3C recommendation (2004) Richer vocabulary Defines advanced relations –Data-typing –Cardinality –Rich typing van properties –… Example: Reasoning!  complex ontologies Note1 Tim hasAuthor Class Note Class Person type isAuthorFrom Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

13. 13 ELIS – Multimedia Lab WHY PREMIS OWL? Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

14. 14 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Why PREMIS OWL? Changing Technologies World Wide Web  Semantic Web XML  RDF, RDFS and OWL Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

15. 15 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Semantic Web Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

16. 16 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Why PREMIS OWL? Data model of PREMIS: Dynamically relating the Five entities to each other. XML: identifiers are used for modelling the relations.  directed and not bidirectional! OWL: resources are identified by a URI  direct relations between the entitities (bidirectional by using inverse relations) Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

17. 17 ELIS – Multimedia Lab DESIGN Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

18. 18 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Design Design decisions: –Stick as close as possible to the PREMIS 2.0 Data Dictionary. –No information loss when migrating PREMIS XML  PREMIS OWL Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

19. 19 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Design Changes: –Every XML wrapper has become a class. –Object has 3 subclasses: File, Bitstream, Representation. –Relations between the entities. –Linking to SKOS vocabularies. Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

20. 20 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Design Object has 3 subclasses: File, Bitstream, Representation Subclasses based on the objectCategory property (“Bitstream”, “File”, “Representation”) Object BitstreamFileRepresentation Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

21. 21 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Design Relations between the entities: –Every entity has become a class.  Every entity has a URI.  No need for using the entities’ identifiers for relating them. This URI is used for relating the different entities.  object properties and their inverse properties Object Identifiers Event Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

22. 22 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Design Relations between the entities: –Every entity has become a class.  Every entity has a URI.  No need for using the entities’ identifiers for relating them. This URI is used for relating the different entities.  object properties and their inverse properties Object Identifiers Event Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

23. 23 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Design Linking to SKOS vocabularies: event types vocabulary (eventType) preservation level role vocabulary (preservationLevelRole) message digest algorithm vocabulary (messageDigestAlgorithm) Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL

27. 27 ELIS – Multimedia Lab Conclusion Sam Coppens @iPres2010 PREMIS Implementation Fair: PREMIS OWL Ternary relations remain problematic in OWL  identifiers Publication of the provenance information is not the primary concern of PREMIS OWL.  PREMIS = provenance metadata + technical metadata + rights metadata  Provenance metadata will become more important in the future. There are provenance models much more suited for interoperability and publication on het Web.
