Re: Enhancing open data with identifiers

Leigh, thank you for this!

I¹m product manager for ISNI at Bowker, and this comes at a MOST useful
time for me! We¹re about to release a ³snapshot² of ISNI data as LOD, so
this is a great tool.

Thanks again!

Re: scientific publishing process (was Re: Cost and access)

2014-10-05 Thread Laura Dawson
I think I mentioned previously, Ivan, but perhaps not on this thread -
Hugh McGuire has developed a Wordpress tool called PressBooks which allows
you to write a book in HTML and export it as an EPUB file. He even
supports schema.org markup in a separate plugin.
(http://www.pressbooks.com)

On 10/5/14, 10:34 AM, Ivan Herman i...@w3.org wrote:

This is not a direct answer to Daniel, but rather expanding on what he
said. Actually, he and I were (and still are) in the same IW3C2
committee, ie, we share the experience; and I was one of those (although
the credit really goes to Bob Hopgood, actually, who was pushing that the
most) who tried to come up with a proper XHTML template.

The real problem is still the missing tooling. Authors, even if
technically savy like this community, want to do what they set up to do:
write their papers as quickly as possible. They do not want to spend
their time going through some esoteric CSS massaging, for example. Let us
face it: we are not yet there. The tools for authoring are still very
poor. This in spite of the fact that many realize that PDF is really not
the format for our age; we need much more than a reproduction of a
printed page digitally (as someone referred to in the thread I really
suffer when I have to read, let alone review, an article in PDF on my
iPad...).

But I do see an evolution that might change in the coming years. Laura
dropped the magic word on the early phases if this thread: ePub. ePub is
a packaged (zip archived) HTML site, with some additional information. It
is the format that most of the ebook readers understand (hey, it can even
be converted into a Kindle format:-). Both Firefox and Chrome have ePub
reader extensions available and Mac OS comes with a free ebook reader
(iBook) that is based on it. I expect (hope) that the convergence between
ePub and browsers will bring these even closer in the coming years.
Because ePub is a packaged web site, with the core content in HTML5 (or
SVG), metadata can be added to the content in RDFa, microdata, embedded
JSON-LD; in fact, metadata can also be added to the archive as a separate
file so if you are crazy enough you can even add RDF data in RDF/XML (no,
please, don't do it:-). And, of course, it can be as much as a hypertext
as you can just master:-)

Tooling? No, not yet:-( Well, not yet for lambda users. But there, too,
there is an evolution. The fact is that publishers are working on XML
first (or HTML first) workflows. O'Reilly's Atlas tool[1] means that
authors prepare their documents in, essentially, HTML (well, a restricted
profile thereof), and the output is then produced in EPUB, PDF, or pure
HTML at the end. Companies are created that do similar things and where
small(er) publishers can develop full projects (Metrodigi, Inkling,
Hachette, ...; but I do not think it is possible to use these for a big
conference, although, who knows?). Importantly to this community, these
tools also include annotation facilities, akin to MS Word's commenting
tools.

Where does it take us _now_? Much against my instinct and with a bleeding
heart I have to accept that conferences of the size of WWW, but even ISWC
or ESWC, cannot reasonably ask their submitters to submit in ePub (or
HTML). Yet. Not today. It is a chicken and egg problem, and change may
come only with events, as well as more progressive scholarly publishers,
experimenting with this. Just like Daniel (and Bernadette) I would love
to see that happening for smaller workshops (if budget allows, I could
imagine a workshop teaming up with, say, Metrodigi to produce the
workshop's proceedings). But I am optimistic that the change will happen
within a foreseeable time and our community (as any scholarly community,
I believe) will have to prepare itself for a change in this area.

Adding my 2¢ to Daniel's:-)

Ivan

P.S. For LaTeX users: I guess the main advantage of LaTeX is the math
part. And this is the saddest story of all: MathML has been around for a
long time, and it is, actually, part of ePUB as well, but authoring
proper mathematics is the toughest with the tools out there. Sigh...

P.S.2 B.t.w., W3C has just started work on Web Annotations. Watch that
space...

probably more tools for rendering HTML than anything else out there,
because HTML is used more than anything else. Because HTML powers the
Web!

You can write in Word, and export in HTML. You can write in Markdown
and export in HTML. You can probably write in Latex and export in HTML
as well :)

The tools are not the problem. The problem to me is the printing
afterwords. Conferences/workshops need to print the publications.
Printing consistent Latex/PDF templates is a lot easier than printing
inconsistent (layout wise) HTML pages.

There is a WordPress based tool called Press Books that is nearly identical to

write in HTML, and publish any way you want. It has schema.org support, though 
I haven’t used it. I published an old collection of short stories from college 
using this platform. The first five publications are free, and then I’m not

We have to start 'at home' with improving publication process  output.  Quite 
frankly, if the experts in linked data don't lead by example and show the 
benefits, how / why will conference organizers  publishers change how they do 
things.  That said, we have to show how more robust data capture benefits their 
business model *and* helps researchers [because they can collaborate more 
effectively, grant funding goes further  is more effective, etc].

Over time, it will have broader implications in the larger research community

Sure. Whatever floats the author's boat. As long as we can precisely
identify and be able to discover the items in research papers, that's
all fine.

I personally don't find the need to set any hard limitations on (X)HTML
or which vocabularies to use. So, schema.org is not granular enough at
this time. There are more appropriate ones out there e.g: e.g.,
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2014Jul/0179.html , but
that doesn't mean that we can't use them along with schema.org.

I favour plain HTML+CSS+RDFa to get things going e.g.:

https://github.com/csarven/linked-research

(I will not dwell on the use of SVG, MathML, JavaScript etc. at this
point, but you get the picture).

The primary focus right now is to have SW/LD venues compromise i.e., not
insist only on Adobe's PDF, but welcome Web native technologies.

Debating on which Doctype or vocabulary or whatever is like the icing on

Re: ORCID as Linked Data

The reason this isn¹t available publicly is that bibliographic citations
linked to ORCIDs are proprietary data to the publishers participating in
ORCID. In other words, they join ORCID, assign identifiers on behalf of
their contributors/researchers, and maintain the links to researcher
output themselves - that¹s the value proposition they bring to the
(mostly) academic/institutional market that they license content to.

insufficient and used other APIs to get additional data:


Unfortunately, the RDF output only included the merest of FOAF-based

Consequently I shifted gears, took advantage of the ORCID-specific
API, and I decided to do some text mining. Specifically, I wrote a

queries ORCID for all the works associated with the identifier**
extracts the DOIs from the resulting XML
feeds the DOIs to a program called Tika for the purposes of extracting

concatenates the result into a single stream of text, and sends the

That¹s probably because VIAF has merged those records in its database.

We are, in fact, taking that next step; I will have more details about
this in 2014. We¹re drafting requirements now. :)

Wow, this is great, thanks for sharing Laura. Layering some rdfa or
microdata into that HTML to expose some of the structured data that¹s
there would be a great next step.

By the way, I noticed that the record includes three links to VIAF:

* http://viaf.org/viaf/85312226
* http://viaf.org/viaf/87229430
* http://viaf.org/viaf/79454736

and that the last 2 redirect to the first. I was just curious what might
be going on there.
