Semantic Web Resources
This page aims to provide a quick and easy way for individual
researchers interested in the semantic web, to identify sites and
useful resources to get them going. Here are some useful links
below with description culled from their sites:
Tools
- The Semantic Media Wiki is Wikipedia's
full-fledged framework, in conjunction with many spinoff
extensions, that can turn a wiki into a powerful and flexible
???collaborative database???. All data created within SMW can
easily be published via the Semantic Web, allowing other systems to
use this data seamlessly.
- New York Times' Linked Open Data provides 10,000 subject
headings as linked open data under a CCBY license. They also
provide both RDF documents and a human-friendly HTML versions.The
data records can be downloaded as an SKOS
file here.
Interactive Visualization
- An interesting visual display of a semantic sites on the web.
RDF DATASET: Click on the blank screen to begin
seeing the linked open data.
- The Linked Open Data Diagram Linked Open Data: Clicking on the circle node
takes you directly to the site.
Datasets
- DBpedia:
DBpedia is a community effort to extract structured information
from Wikipedia and to make this information available on the Web.
DBpedia allows you to ask sophisticated queries against Wikipedia,
and to link other data sets on the Web to Wikipedia data. We hope
this will make it easier for the amazing amount of information in
Wikipedia to be used in new and interesting ways, and that it might
inspire new mechanisms for navigating, linking and improving the
encyclopaedia itself.
- DBLP Bibliography: It publishes a Bibliographic
Database where data are interlinked. Anyone can also list their
names and publications according to a prescribed format.
- Geonames: The
GeoNames geographical database covers all countries and contains
over eight million placenames that are available for download free
of charge.
- Revyu: is a web site
where you can review and rate things. Unlike many other reviewing
sites on the web, Revyu.com lets you review and rate absolutely
anything you can name.
- Umbel: a
lightweight reference structure of 20,000 subject concept classes
and their relationships derived from OpenCyc, which can act as
binding classes to external data; also has links to 1.5 million
named entities from DBpedia and YAGO. It works on the Vocabulary
and Reference Concept Ontology (namespace: umbel). UMBEL is the
Upper Mapping and Binding Exchange Layer, designed to help content
interoperate on the Web.
- riese: The riese (RDFizing and Interlinking the
EuroStat Data Set Effort) started out in mid 2007 as an initiative
in the W3C SWEO Linking Open Data community project.
- Sensorpedia: Sensorpedia is a program initiated
by Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to utilize Web 2.0 social
networking principles to organize and provide access to online
sensor network data and related data sets. It makes it easy to
share sensor data.
- FOAF: The
Friend of a Friend (FOAF) project is creating a Web of
machine-readable pages describing people, the links between them
and the things they create and do; it is a contribution to the
linked information system known as the Web.
- OpenPSI: a
community effort to create UK government linked data service that
supports research.
- VIAF or Virtual
International Authority File: VIAF is an aggregation of authority
files (author names) from national libraries from around the world.
It is a joint project of several national libraries, implemented
and hosted by OCLC. The project's goal is to lower the cost and
increase the utility of library authority files by matching and
linking the authority files of national libraries, and then making
that information available on the Web.
