“ Ce qui est sans doute à retenir de cette experience [avec le logiciel Storyspace] [...] c'est la nécessité de nommer les liens et de prévoir des carrefours de liens „

Semantic web. A web of linked data

The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries (W3C). Data are organized following rules defined in shared ontologies, which allows the query of big corpora and inferences.


Example: Europeana

Other examples: governments (data.gov.uk), libraries (data.bnf.fr), web searches (Google Knowledge Graph), bio-medical resources (The Gene Ontology Resource

Semantics in RDF triple

subject ⎯ predicate ➝ object

Dataset

ms BJ Rkp. Przyb. 9/19 ⎯ has author ➝ Wisława Szymborska
ms BJ Rkp. Przyb. 9/19 ⎯ is preserved in ➝ Biblioteka Jagiellońska
ms BJ Rkp. Przyb. 9/19 ⎯ has digital copy identifier ➝ NDIGORP042968

Ontology (rules)

manuscript ⎯ has author ➝ person

5. Conclusions

Proposal

Genetic networks
of typed relationships,
general and explicit enough


To do

  • apply to more use cases and refine the model
  • discuss with the community
