Re: Where are the Linked Data Driven Smart Agents (Bots) ?
I'm about to apply to speak at SemWeb.pro, a conference that takes place in Paris in autumn. It unfortunately mostly is in French, but it's mostly people from the industry and the government who speak. I remember seeing only a handful of researchers... and last year Phil Archer did the keynote (in English)! http://semweb.pro/ Colin On 07/07/2016 07:51 PM, Ruben Verborgh wrote: Hi Juan, Seems like we mostly agree—short remarks below. One thing is science. Another is engineering. Perhaps we need Semantic Web Engineering conferences then as well! If we don't know the right evaluation metrics (I agree with you that we don't), then that is the current challenge we, as a semantic web scientific community, have to tackle. Indeed, but I've found the scientific community to be not so open to new evaluation metrics either. There is insufficient agreement on (and too limited knowledge of) the right scientific methodology to tackle such novel problems. It shouldn't discourage you... on the contrary, it should encourage you to identify novel ways to evaluate what you are doing and convince the community why it is important. The trouble is you don't have to convince the entire community (with whom you can have an open dialog), but a tiny set of anonymous reviewers (for whom the known paths are often easier to judge). My remark was precisely that convincing is hard once you move away from the known paths. So the scientific community, which is a large part of the total Semantic Web community, might in that sense be hampering real novelty—from science and engineering alike, whichever might be the difference.

Re: [Ann] WebVOWL 0.3 - Visualize your ontology on the web
Great job! I'm particularly happy because it shows good support for an RDFS ontology (http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl/#iri=http://purl.org/dita/ns). Lately I see new tools that mostly support OWL ontologies, so thanks a lot!

For instance, if I am exploring FOAF, and I click on the foaf:Agent node, I should have an HTTP URI anchoring the text Agent [FOAF] which then makes that node a live LOD Cloud conduit. I notice you provide this capability via selection details, but I don't think most will realize its existence. Adding selected classes to the URL is a nice idea that we will discuss together with the above issue about the fragment identifier. If I got you right, you would like to have something like http://vowl.visualdataweb.org/webvowl/index.html?iri=http://purl.org/muto/core#Tagging which would then visualize the MUTO ontology and automatically select (and highlight) the Tagging class. Is that correct? On 20.12.2014 14:54, Alfredo Serafini wrote: any plans for integrating individuals visualization? The number of instances is visually indicated by the radius of the circle representing the class (if there are any instances for a class). The number is also given in the Selection Details, and the total number in the Statistics. Apart from that, we have not integrated any ABox information into WebVOWL so far. Although VOWL 2 focuses on the visualization of the TBox of ontologies, we may incorporate at least some additional ABox information in the future. On 20.12.2014 23:43, Timothy W. Cook wrote: It would be great to see meta data such as dc:description when you hover over the images. Timothy, I am not sure what you mean here. Currently, the complete label of the hovered element is shown in a tooltip, while additional information is provided in the Selection Details in the sidebar. As WebVOWL focuses on OWL, Dublin Core is currently only interpreted when being used as metadata for the entire ontology (i.e., for the title, author, and description info in the sidebar). Could you clarify? Cheers, Steffen
Re: Formats and icing (Was Re: [ESWC 2015] First Call for Paper)
Hi all,
Thanks John for the references to my project.
It seems that here you need a solution that both pleases those who want
a PDF to comply with existing processes, and those who want a
machine-readable format for better Web-accessibility.
The DITA
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita
standard is an OASIS standard, like Open Document. It's an XML framework
dedicated to the creation of documents via the assembling of content
components, the topics. See it as a Docbook evolved. The Wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Information_Typing_Architecture
is a good introduction.
In the DITA ecosystem, a processing engine has been developed by the
community, the DITA Open Toolkit http://dita-ot.github.io/. Through
its plugin system, it enables the publication of DITA content to a
myriad of output formats:
* PDF
* Simple HTML
* HTML WebHelp (fancy example http://purl.org/dita/ditardf-project)
* ePub and Kindle (through the dita4publisher plugin
http://dita4publishers.sourceforge.net/)
* ...and RDF/XML through the plugin part of the DITA RDF project
http://purl.org/dita/ditardf-project. The plugin extracts the
metadata of the documentation (author, title, creation date, links,
variables), not the meaning of the content (output example
https://github.com/ColinMaudry/dita-rdf/blob/ditaot-plugin/dita2rdf/demo/out/ditaot-userguide.rdf).
It could be extended to extract certain facts from the content.
DITA has a nice feature: its core vocabulary can be extended via
specialization, so that it can support specific purposes: learning
content, troubleshooting documents, etc.
Those who want a PDF would make a PDF rendition and those who want
machine-readable formats would use a flavour of HTML or give me a hand
with the RDF output.
What do you think?

Hi All,
I know Latex is the norm in academic circles, but the DITA XML
standard is widely used in industry and gaining traction in publishing.
Colin Maudry ( @CMaudry) has a project for extracting RDF metadata
from DITA content [1].
Seems to be attracting interest from Marklogic and HarperCollins [2]
and others [3].
Cheers,
John

ABSTRACT
Machine-understandable data constitutes the basis for the Seman-
tic Desktop. We provide in this paper means to author and annotate
Semantic Documents on the Desktop. In our approach, the PDF file
format is the basis for semantic documents, which store both a
document and the related metadata in a single file. To achieve this we
provide a framework, SALT that extends the Latex writ- ing environment
and supports the creation of metadata for scien- tific publications.
SALT lets the scientific author create metadata while putting together
the content of a research paper. We discuss some of the requirements
one has to meet when developing such an ontology-based writing
environment and we describe a usage scenario.
That describes a very thorough approach to embedding some semantics
within LaTeX documents.
Yes, 'thorough'; very thorough; verging on the intimidating.
I dimly recall that there was a rather more lightweight approach
which was used for proceedings in ISWC or ESWC -- I remember marking
up a LaTeX document in something less comprehensive than SALT -- but I
can't remember enough to be able to re-find it.
All the best,
Norman
