Hitchhiker’s guide to the Linked
Open Data Cloud
DBpedia
• Largest node in the linked open data cloud
• “Nucleus for a web of open data”
• Most data is derived by parsing Wikipedia
• E.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C++
• => http://dbpedia.org/resource/C++
• Uses transparent content negotiation
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation
Transparent content negotiationI want to know about “C++” and I understand RDF and

Reusing URIs
Why reuse URIs
• Data interoperability
• Queries work over multiple datasets
• Semantic definitions allows alignments to be reasoned
• (Often) the creators of the URIs have good idea on how data
should be structured

How to tag this talk?
• en?
• en-Latn? (As it is not written in Cyrillic)
• en-LV or en-428 (As it is presented in Latvia)
• en-GB or en-826 (As is is composed in British
English)
• en-Latn-GB?Region subtags are used to indicate linguistic variations associated
with or appropriate to a specific country, territory, or region. Typically,
a region subtag is used to indicate variations such as regional
dialects or usage, or region-specific spelling conventions. It can also
be used to indicate that content is expressed in a way that is
appropriate for use throughout a region, for instance, Spanish content
tailored to be useful throughout Latin America.
-- RFC 5646
Glottolog
• Identifies languoids (language
varieties)
• Uses URLs
http://glottolog.org/resource/languoid/id/queb1247
• More information can be found
by following the link
Linked Open Vocabularies
http://lov.linkeddata.es/
ISOcat
• Effort to standardize linguistic vocabulary from ISO Technical
Committee
• Standardized “Data Categories” in a “Registry”
• Discontinued in December 2014
Problems with ISOcat
According to Schuurman et al.
• Too easy to get a login
• “Out-of-control”
• Entries were copies of other entries
• “People sometimes copied an entry, just in order to
make sure the original owner would not change the
entry without them knowing it”
• Complexity - Too many obligatory and overly
technical fields
As an alternative the CLARIN concept registry is (still)
being introduced.
I. Schuurman, M. Windhouwer, O. Ohren, D. Zeman, CLARIN Concept Registry: The new semantic registry, in
CLARIN 2015 Selected Papers (2015), pp. 62–70
LexInfo
• Ontology for “associat[ing] linguistic information
with respect to any level of linguistic description
and expressivity to elements in an ontology”
• Expands OntoLex-Lemon with a set of general
categories
LexInfo - Properties and Values
Properties and
open-world

list of values
LexInfo - Verb Frames
Verb frames
with formal
definitions
LexInfo - Arguments
Hierarchies of

OLiA
Ontologies of Linguistic Annotation
• Modular architecture for describing
annotation schemes:
• Reference Model: Common
terminology (similar to LexInfo)
• Annotation Model: Describes a
particular annotation scheme
• Linking Model: Describes the
linking between the reference and
annotation
GOLD - General Ontology Linguistic
Description
• Quite popular
• Defines many terms
• ‘Loose’ semantics
• Sometimes has range and domains on properties
• Not clear how this fits together

Services using linked data
Service-oriented architectures
• It is implemented a self-contained operation unit.
• It is a black box for its consumers, which only need
to know the interface, not the implementation.
• It may consist of other underlying services.
Interoperability is a significant challenge here
Service chains
Translation
DE => EN
Parser (EN)
Sentiment
Analysis (EN)
Often tricky to do in
practice!
Issues with service chains
• Services are often components of pipelines without
clear usage to the end user
• The technology readiness level of services is often
quite low, with little documentation or graphical
user interface,
• Services are hard to install often requiring
compiling from source or specialized libraries not
found in major software repositories.
Teanga
• RDF and Linked Data to provide
service interoperability
• Docker to enable easy install
and usage
• Attractive Web Front-End
(Bootstrap, AngularJS, NodeJS)
• Graceful control of errors

Summary
Summary
• Linked Open Data Cloud
• Big
