Max Völkel 6.9.2007I-Semantics, Graz A Semantic Web Content Model and Repository
Outline • Motivation • Analysis: Web vs. Semantic Web • Developing a unified Semantic Web Content Model • In three easy steps • Implementation
How to model structure + content in one model? • Background • Wikis, Personal Semantic Wikis, Semantic Desktop, … • Two motivations: • Bring flexibility and expressivity of RDF to the end-user • Allow RDF to model and represent content as well – not only its metadata • Goal: Unified Model • As usable as the web • But how to represent semantics? Semantic queries? • As expressive and as flexible as the semantic web • How to represent binary data (desktop files, web resources) in RDF? • Unified search • “Give me all papers written by author X which contain Y”
Granularity: Gets smaller Web 1.0: homepages, portals Web 2.0: micro-content Renderable representations Freedom of formalisation Less semantic HTML is less portable, but works Analysis: The Web HTTP URI Representation Encoding meta-data ChangeDate MimeType HTML, JPG, CSS, JS, PDF, … HTTP Content
Flexible, very expressive Not expressive enough: Literals cannot be addressed Statements cannot be addressed (but reified) 10 different node types complex for end-users Exising formal knowledge can be re-used Analysis: The Semantic Web
Requirements for a SWCM • Content granularity • Expressivity • Binary Content • Freedom of formalisation • Human-usable • Renderable representations • Human-type- and memorizable names (e.g. like WikiWords) • Inverse Relations • Knowledge re-use • Standard CMS features: • Access rights addressable parts • Versioning addressable parts

1 Creating the SWCM: Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF
Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF • Items have a URI and can have a Literal • Addressable Literals URI Literal 0..1 Item
Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF • Statements connect Items • Expressivity of RDF URI Literal 0..1 Item source target Statement relation
Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF • Addressable Statements • Syntactic sugar over reification URI Literal 0..1 Item source target Statement relation
Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF • Address Items via human-type-able name (e.g. WikiWords) • Human-usable naming URI Literal 0..1 Item source target Statement NameItem relation
Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF • Statements (Item, NameItem, Item) • Decision that relations should be human-name-able URI Literal 0..1 Item source target Statement NameItem relation
Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF • Relations have always an inverse • Item-centric rendering easier for tools URI Literal 0..1 Item source target Statement NameItem relation inverse Relation
Step 1: A Human-Usable RDF • A Model contains Items • A Model has a URI Model URI Literal 0..n 0..1 Item source target Statement NameItem relation inverse Relation
2 Creating the SWCM: Step 2: Include Binary Content
Step 2: Include Binary Content • From addressable literals to addressable representations URI Literal 0..1 Item
Step 2: Include Binary Content URI Representation 0..1 Item
Step 2: Include Binary Content • Representations on the web have some built-in properties • Metadata: Mime-type, encoding, change-date • Data: the actual content itself URI Representation 0..1 Item
Step 2: Include Binary Content • Representations on the web have some built-in properties • Metadata: Mime-type, encoding, change-date • Data: the actual content itself URI Representation Encoding 0..1 ChangeDate Item MimeType Content
Step 2: Include Binary Content • In SWCM, representations have an author • Like in wikis, blogs, web pages, … • Can be „anonymous“ URI Representation Encoding 0..1 ChangeDate Item MimeType Content
Step 2: Include Binary Content • In SWCM, representations have an author • Like in wikis, blogs, web pages, … • Can be „anonymous“ URI Representation Encoding author 0..1 ChangeDate Item MimeType Content
3 Creating the SWCM: Step 3: Merge Step 1 and Step 2
The Semantic Web Content Model Model URI Representation Encoding author 0..n 0..1 ChangeDate Item source MimeType target Content Statement NameItem relation inverse Relation Structure Content
The Semantic Web Content Model • We expect end-users to understand the circled parts Model URI Representation Encoding author 0..n 0..1 ChangeDate Item source MimeType target Content Statement NameItem relation inverse Relation Structure Content

BinStore – a simple binary store www.swecr.org • Intuition: The simplest web-like API, that would possibly work (and allow random-access) • Data model: URI Metadata + InputStream / OutputStream • Simple implementation on files • Future: Consider JCR • getReadHandle • InputStream readStream(); • getMimeType(), getSize() • getWriteHandle • writeStream( InputStream, MimeType ) • setMimeType( MimeType ) • getRandomAccessHandle • delete( URI ) Binary Store BinStoreImpl API

Example: Wiki-page • Example: A wiki-page in SWCM • Title of wiki page NameItem • Content of wiki page Item • Relation between title and page content Statement • Who uses it? • WavesWiki (part of BMBF project, http://waves.fzi.de) • SemFS a Semantic File System (presented at I-KNOW in 2006) • Conceptual Data Structures (end-user personal KM tool) • Interest from XWiki and Cognium Systems
SWCM is a content management model combining the usability of the web with the expressivity and flexibility of the semantic web Summary Item source target Statement NameItem inverse relation Future Work: • Refactor core layer into smaller parts (services) • Create RDF with binaries – API • Unified queries (like the LuceneSAIL or LARQ) • Crawling of external resources (index localled, stored remote) • From structured text to SWCM models (see paper) Relation
