Today • Recapitulation • The Semantic Web • Semantic Publishing
Terms • Tables, Rows, Columns, Records, Fields • Relational data model • Data redundancy • SQL
Steps • Database Design (Entity Relationship Diagrams) • Implementation • Data entry • Data retrieval
Interpretation continuum Data: relatively unstructured Information: very structured Source: Obrst and Liu, Knowledge representation, Ontological Engineering and Topic Maps, in: XML Topic Maps, 2003
SQL: Structured Query Language • Supported by most RDBMSs. • Makes use of regular English words
SQL for data entry INSERT INTO BOOK VALUES ( '0', 'A Village Commune' , 'OUID', 'CHAT', 'NL HAA', 'eng', '1881' ) ;
Creating tables CREATE TABLE PERSON( P_ID CHAR(4) NOT NULL, NAME_FIRST VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL, NAME_LAST VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL, YEAR_BORN INT(4) NOT NULL, YEAR_DIED INT(4) NOT NULL, NATIONALITY CHAR(2) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY ( P_ID ), FOREIGN KEY ( NATIONALITY ) REFERENCES COUNTRY ON DELETE RESTRICT ON UPDATE CASCADE ) ;
Deleting tables or databases DROP DATABASE BOOKTRADE ; DROP TABLE PERSON ;
Database and Narrative • Lev Manovich, The Language of New Media • Textual narrative: linearity and reliance on typography • Database: random access, non-linear, no form
The Semantic web • Envisaged by Tim Berners-Lee as “a web of data that can be processed directly and indirectly by machines” • RDF-Triples • Examples: Subject: “Book-URI” Predicate: “hasISBN” Object: “978-0-252-07829-0”
