Overview
• The Semantic Web– Languages and Integration– Storage and Querying
• Linked (Open) Data– Scalability issues– Browsing and Viewing
• DEMOs• … if there’s time …
– OWL in Action04/10/2023 2
The Semantic Web Ideology
• Identity is everything• Partial solutions are great too!• Layer cake
04/10/2023 3
OWL
Semantic Web
• Intially• `Metadata’ for web pages
• Since ~2006• `Web of Data’• Semantic web as data source in its own right
• Linked Data
• A ‘Databaseesque’ Web• RDF Triple stores• Query languages
04/10/2023 4
Languages
• Multiple Languages– RDF, RDFS and OWL
• Multiple Syntaxes– RDF/XML, Turtle (Restricted N3), Ntriple– Functional Syntax, Manchester Syntax, OWL XML
• RDF– Triples <subject, predicate,object>– Distributed– Always about something else– ... but can be about other RDF triples as well.

Integration
• How to add this ‘meta’ to my ‘data’?• Three options:
– Old fashioned HTML:<link rel='meta' type='application/rdf+xml' href='http://www.leibnizcenter.org/~hoekstra/foaf.rdf' title='FOAF'>
– HTTP 303 `see other’http://www.w3.org/TR/swbp-vocab-pub/
– Inline (RDFa/GRDDL)
04/10/2023 9
Integration: 303 See Other (Demo)http://www.metalex.eu/metalex
04/10/2023 10
Integration: Inline
• RDFa– Attributes on XHTML elements– http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-rdfa-primer
• GRDDL– Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of
Languages– Explicit reference to (XSL) transformation– http://www.w3.org/TR/grddl/
04/10/2023 11
Integration: RDFa Example• In XHTML:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd"><html xmlns:cal="http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ical#"> <head><title>Jo's Friends and Family Blog</title></head> <body> <p instanceof="cal:Vevent"> I'm holding <span property="cal:summary">one last summer Barbecue</span>, on <span property="cal:dtstart" content="20070916T1600-0500"> September 16th at 4pm. </span> </p> </body></html>
• In RDF:_:blanknode0 rdf:type cal:Vevent; cal:summary ”one last summer Barbecue"; cal:dtstart "20070916T1600-0500" .
04/10/2023 12
Integration: GRDDL• In HTML/XML instance documents:<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:grddl='http://www.w3.org/2003/g/data-view#' grddl:transformation="glean_title.xsl
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/grddl-wg/td/getAuthor.xsl”>
• In XML Schema documents: <xsd:annotation> <xsd:appinfo> <rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://www.metalex.eu/latest"> <grddl:namespaceTransformation rdf:resource=”http://www.metalex.eu/grddl/metalex2owl.xsl" /></rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF> </xsd:appinfo> </xsd:annotation>
04/10/2023 13
Storage (on the web)
• As documents– .rdf, .n3, .turtle, .html
• RDF triple stores– Sesame, Joseki, 4Store, AllegroGraph, OpenLink
Virtuoso, SDB/TDB, Open Calais, SWI Prolog – Reasoners ‘on top’, or via DIG
• Pellet, OWLIM, etc.
• SPARQL Endpoints– Results as JSON, XML, CSV etc.
04/10/2023 14
Querying
• Originally many languages– SPARQL, nRQL, SeRQL, etc.
• SPARQL: – http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/
• ExamplePREFIX course: <http://www.uva.nl/courses#>PREFIX uva: <http://www.uva.nl/rdf#>SELECT ?nameWHERE { ?x uva:teaches course:ks2007. ?x uva:name ?name }
?x binds with <http://www.uva.nl/people#radboud> ?name binds with “Radboud Winkels”^^xsd:string
04/10/2023 15
Querying (2)
• SPARQL 1.0– select, construct, from, optional, filter– Negation via unbound variable
• SPARQL 1.1– update, negation, aggregation, subqueries
04/10/2023 16
04/10/2023 19November 2009: 13.1 Billion triples, 142 Million links
But there’s more
• Late additions…– New York Times archives
• Now 5k names, with 4 references to LOD• Will grow to > 30k
– Reuters– OpenCalais automated tagging
• Soon to come– Data.gov (via RPI)– Whitehouse.gov (via Drupal)– Data.gov.uk (directly)– European Parliament (MetaLex+RDFa)
04/10/2023 20
Scalability
• How to deal with massive amounts of data?
• Consequences for reasoning– Billion Triple Challenge– (864.8 Million Triples)
• Consequences for querying– Table lookups, joins etc.
• … and what about …– Dealing with change, provenance, trust?
04/10/2023 21
A rough idea…
• I can crash a DL reasoner using an ontology of ~15 classes and 5 individuals (honestly)
• What if my ontology contains thousands of classes and billions of individuals?
04/10/2023 22
Reasoning• When?
– Realtime vs. in advance
• Lightweight reasoning (RDFS, OWL 2 RL)– Implementable using forward chaining rules– Still problems with scalability
• Distributed reasoning (DAS-3)– MaRVIN
• ‘SpeedDate’ distrubution of triples across nodes
– MapReduce• Full closure of BTC in 57 minutes• Output: 30B triples
• And what to do with the results?

2 Degrees from Kevin BaconPREFIX p: http://dbpedia.org/property/SELECT ?film1 ?actor1 ?film2 ?actor2WHERE {
?film1 p:starring <http://dbpedia.org/resource/Kevin_Bacon> . ?film1 p:starring ?actor1 . ?film2 p:starring ?actor1 . ?film2 p:starring ?actor2 .}
04/10/2023 24
DBPedia: 150M triples
Rough idea…
• 1 Billion triples in MySQL– Load time
• … a couple of hours
– Simple table lookup (one-variable query)• … about 5 minutes
– Single join (two-variable query)• … a couple of hours
• Better indexes?– Harddisk access times are the bottleneck (9ms)
• More targeted reasoning, querying, federation.

LET’S SUPPOSE THAT ALL WORKSViewing the web of data
04/10/2023 26
Browsing and Viewing
• How to unlock your RDF/OWL to users?– Custom applications (PizzaFinder)– Generic RDF Browsers (Faceted Browsing)
• How to present your RDF/OWL to users?– Custom applications (TopBraid Geo)– Generic RDF Visualisation (Fresnel Lenses)
04/10/2023 27
Browsing: Facets• Multi-dimensional search• User filters available information• Context dependent• Facet
– UI element– Values of a property– Number of results
• Query building
04/10/2023 28
Browsing• MIT Longwell
– http://simile.mit.edu/longwell/demo/libraries• /facet
– http://slashfacet.semanticweb.org• Flamenco• RDFBrowser• Exhibit
– http://simile.mit.edu/exhibit• LENA• OpenAcademia
– http://vu.openacademia.org
04/10/2023 29
Viewing
• Tables are boring!• Different data? Different presentation:
– URI/URL– Images– Strings– Coordinates
• Filtering data• Aggregating data
04/10/2023 30
Viewing: Fresnel
• RDF specification of– What data to present, and– How to present it
• http://www.w3.org/2005/04/fresnel-info
• Lenses– Group information
(class membership, SPARQL result)• Formats
– Specify how property values should be rendered04/10/2023 31
Viewing: Fresnel lens:foafPersonDefaultLens rdf:type fresnel:Lens ; fresnel:purpose fresnel:defaultLens ; fresnel:classLensDomain foaf:Person ; fresnel:group :foafGroup ; fresnel:showProperties ( foaf:name foaf:surname foaf:depiction ) .

OWL in Action
• What OWL can do…• Traditional
– Straightforward classification tasks• Extensions
– Explanation & Justification– Probabilistic Reasoning
• Advanced (Law)– Temporal reasoning (Klarman et al., 2008)– Legal reasoning (van de Ven et al., 2008)
04/10/2023 38
Legal assessment• Case input
– Individual case description• Match
– Case is matched against a set of norms• Resolve conflicts
– Where multiple norms apply, the system determines whether and which norms have priority over others
• Final verdict
University library regulationsNorms qualify a situation
1a) Students registered at this university are allowed to check out a book from this library
1b) Students registered at other universities are allowed to check out a book from this library provided that they are enrolled in at least one course given at this university.
1c) Students who have checked out more than five books are not allowed to check out another book.
Expected subsumption hierarchy:• Art1c ⊑ Art1a, Art1c ⊑ Art1b
