Slide 2

Semantic Technologies 2 Semantics more than just OWL/RDF semantic web stack Web mining using text understanding (auto-classification) Topic & keyword extraction: DBpedia Spotlight, OpenCalais, etc. Linked Open Data (LOD) RDF data graphs published on open Internet Data integration by simply merging triples SPARQL query endpoints, explore logical triples Return JSON for web mashups Extending Ontologies (OWL) E.g.: Concepts from SWEET, Noesis, W3C PROV for provenance Semantic mediation using ontologies Query terms broaden/narrow, synonyms, OWL SameAs Graph Visualization Provenance, collaboration, joint authorship, social network

Slide 3

Semantic Web Stack 3 Linked Open Data (LOD)

Slide 4

Resource Description Framework (RDF) Built on the logical triple, a 3-tuple consisting of Subject, Predicate, and Object Example graph below: Resource: Some entity. Property: An attribute of a resource. Literal: A string of characters which can be the value of a property. 4. "August 16, 1999". "en".

Activities of the Group 6 Developing killer apps for semantics Demo session at Jan. 2012 ESIP Federation meeting Evolving best practices and tools experience Jena API, Protg, COE, Virtuoso, SPARQL, LODSpeakr Extending ontologies (joint with ESIP Semantic Web Cluster) Future of SWEET maintenance OWL/RDF vocabularies for the AGU app. Publishing NASA metadata as Linked Open Data (LOD) Prototype publication of LOD for ECHO collections, GCMD services New interfaces: Instant Browse of ECHO collections Proposed (future) community task for consideration: Publishing NASA Metadata for Semantic Mashups

Slide 7

Linked Data Publication (5 stars) 7 Make your stuff available on the web (whatever format) Make it available as structured data (e.g. excel instead of image scan of a table) Non-proprietary format (e.g. csv instead of excel) Use URLs to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff Link your data to other peoples data to provide context LOD is about authoring rich linkages between data Use of URIs/URLs to permanently identify resources is crucial! Things that should have a permanent URL: Every NASA dataset registered in GCMD & ECHO All registered services and tools AGU authors, meeting abstracts, sessions AGU journal articles (DOIs)

Slide 9

Benefits of Open Metadata 9 Both LOD and casting technologies free our metadata Openly published on the web in interoperable formats Objects are permanently named by URI GCMD, ECHO, DAACs should use their HTTP namespaces The real estate grab on the web has already occurred Any third-party can make logical assertions about your objects Crowdsource rich linkages between metadata objects E.g.: tools to datasets, datasets to all relevant web services, science papers to datasets used, granule to QC annotations, people/projects graph to find new collaborators. Semantic Mashups as killer apps Event Linkages: phenomenon, data, services, tools, human impacts [Your APP here.]
