BM2LOD: Platform For Publishing Bibliographic Data As Linked Open Data
0 likes512 views
The document discusses the bm2lod platform, designed to publish bibliographic data as linked open data, addressing shortcomings of traditional OAI-PMH protocols. It highlights the platform's architecture, a use case involving Cuban journals, and its ability to integrate and automate metadata publishing while ensuring proper author disambiguation. Future work will focus on mechanisms for incremental updates and improving disambiguation algorithms.

- 3. MOTIVATION • Some of these journals offer their bibliographic data via Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH).
- 4. MOTIVATION: • Although this protocol has been widely adopted, it has some drawbacks: – Utilization of non-dereferenceable identifiers. – Limitations of selective metadata retrieval. – Limitation in the representation format.
- 5. PROBLEM TO RESOLVE Bibliographic data are dispersed without being given an explicit relationship, making their discovery and reuse for other information systems impossible.
- 6. OBJECTIVES • We propose the BM2LOD platform for publishing bibliographic data following the linked data principles. • The proposed approach has been applied in a use case in the context of the DBJournal project for publishing bibliographic data from Open Access journals in Cuba.
- 7. LINKED DATA PRINCIPLES 1. Use URIs to denote things. 2. Use HTTP URIs so that these things can be referred to and looked up ("dereferenced") by people and user agents. 3. Provide useful information about the thing when its URI is dereferenced, leveraging standards such as RDF, SPARQL; 4. Include links to other related things (using their URIs) when publishing data on the Web.
- 8. BM2LOD PLATFORM: Platform has two main contributions: 1. The formalization of the workflow described above using an iterative and incremental approach. 2. A platform that will support the aforementioned workflow.

- 19. CONCLUSIONS BM2LOD is able to extract metadata from an OAI-PMH endpoint and automate the most common tasks for publishing it as linked data. The BM2LOD platform is able to integrate metadata from different data providers, using a simple method of integration based on a workflow, where the output of the previous stage is used for subsequent stages. Several challenges have been addressed in the preprocessing task, such as disambiguation of authors’ names and the affiliations of authors.
- 20. FUTURE WORK To find an automatic mechanism for incremental updates in the RDF graph. We will also work on improving the algorithms used in the disambiguation of the names of the authors, as well as on obtaining an efficient mechanism for incremental updating RDF graphs from relational databases and noSQL.
