Dewey Summaries as Multilingual Linked Data • Dewey Breakfast/Update • ALA Annual • July 11, 2009
Linked Data principles • Three rules • Use http-URIs as names for things (identification) • When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information (dereferenceability) • Include links to other URIs (relationships) • Maxims • “Raw data now!” (TBL) • Being able to ask new question about data • Adding information collaboratively
Requirements for publishing Linked Data • Identification • Every data entity has a URI • Access • HTTP as protocol (established infrastructure: WWW) • User agent indicates which data formats it accepts • Representation • for machines • RDF as data model • SKOS, Dublin Core, ccREL, etc. as vocabularies • for humans • HTML, etc. • “Openness” of the data set
Use Cases: Basic web lookup • “If someone has the URI of that thing, what relationships to what other objects is it useful to know about?”(Tim Berners-Lee) • A web page for every class of the Dewey Summaries, e.g.: • <http://dewey.info/class/641/>
Use Cases: Basic linking • Example: Dublin Core metadata • <dc:title>Petrology.</dc:title><dc:creator>Huang, Walter Ta, 1924-</dc:creator><dc:subject xsi:type="http://purl.org/dc/terms/DDC">552</dc:subject> • Use of a link (URI) instead of arbitrary text
Use Cases: Basic linking • Example: Dublin Core metadata • <dc:title>Petrology.</dc:title><dc:creator>Huang, Walter Ta, 1924-</dc:creator><dc:subject rdf:resource="http://dewey.info/class/552/e16/" /> • Use of a link (URI) instead of arbitrary text
Service: Dewey Summaries as Linked Data • External summaries of DDC 22 • Main Classes, Divisions, Sections • Accessible • as RDF data or HTML web pages • in 9 languages • Reusable • by anyone • under terms of Creative Commons BY-NC-ND 3.0 license
