  1. Semantic Web Technologies:A Tutorial Li Ding University of Maryland Baltimore County Joint work with Deborah McGuinness, Tim Finin and Anupam Joshi Presented at Kodak Research Laboratories, Rochester, New York 18 July 2006

  2. The Web has made people smarter craigslist Surfing WWW Search bag-of-words tagging del.icio.us

  3. Machines still have a very minimal understanding of text and images. tell register But what about machines?

  4. Motivation: machine-friendly data • Natural Language • XML – represent structures • Semantic Web - represent more semantics • represent structures • enable common vocabulary • associate symbols with logic interpretation for inference Li Ding is a person LiDingisasaon as seen by a machine as seen by a person <on>LiDing</on> <person>Li Ding</person> as seen by a person as seen by a machine

  5. Semantic Web Technologies

  6. Semantic Web Layers Semantic Aspect Web Aspect HTTP "The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.“ – Berners-Lee, Hendler & Lassila, Scientific American, 2001 Image source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:W3c_semantic_web_stack.jpg

  7. The Semantic Web is simple • Each URI denotes a concept • URIs are connected by triples • Machines read data as directed RDF graph Don't say "colour" say <http://example.com/2002/std6#col> RDF (Resource Description Framework) Relational database Source: Tim Berners-Lee, Putting the Web back into Semantic Web, ISWC2005 Keynote

  8. Example: RDF graph and syntax http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/name • RDF Graph • URI, Literal, BNode • Triple Li Ding t1 http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type t2 http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/Person The entire graph means: there exist a person whose name is “Li Ding”. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <rdf:RDF xmlns:foaf=http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/ xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#“> <foaf:Person> <foaf:name>Li Ding</foaf:name> </foaf:Person> </rdf:RDF> • XML • unicode • Namespace • URI as tag Data encoded in RDF/XML syntax Alternative RDF syntax languages: N3(notation 3), N-Triples, Turtle

  9. Example: Surfing RDF graphs G1: http://cs.umbc.edu/~dingli1/foaf.rdf Surf to definition http://cs.umbc.edu/~dingli1/foaf.rdf#dingli foaf:name G3: http://xmlns.com/foaf/1.0/ rdf:type foaf:knows Li Ding foaf:Person wordNet:Agent rdf:type foaf:mbox mailto:finin@umbc.edu rdfs:subClassOf rdfs:seeAlso foaf:Person http://cs.umbc.edu/~finin/foaf.rdf rdf:type rdfs:Class Surf to another instance rdfs:domain foaf:mbox G2: http://cs.umbc.edu/~finin/foaf.rdf foaf:mbox rdf:type mailto:finin@umbc.edu rdf:Property foaf:firstName Tim foaf:surname rdf: http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns# rdfs: http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema# foaf: http://xmlns.com/foaf/1.0/ Finin

  10. Example: Serving human & machine The Original RDF/XML for machines The HTML is generated by applying XSLT on RDF/XML

  11. Ontology Spectrum Thesauri “narrower term” relation space of interest Disjointness, Inverse,part of… Frames (properties) Formal is-a Catalog/ID CYC DB Schema UMLS RDF RDFS DAML Wordnet OO OWL IEEE SUO Formal instance General Logical constraints Value Restriction Terms/ glossary Informal is-a ExpressiveOntologies SimpleTaxonomies Source: Originally by Deborah L. McGuinness (KSL, Stanford), modified by Tim Finin

  12. Ontology Languages: RDFS and OWL • RDFS • Set theory – rdfs:Class • Relation – rdf:Property, rdfs:domain, rdfs:range • Hierarchy – rdfs:subClassOf, rdfs:subPropertyOf • Built-in Datatype – xsd:string, xsd:dataTime • OWL • Description Logic • Class, Thing, Nothing • DatatypeProperty, ObjectProperty, AnnotationProperty,… • Class axioms • oneOf, disjointWith, unionOf, complementOf, intersectionOf … • Restriction, onProperty, cardinality, hasValue… • Property axioms • inverseOf , TransitiveProperty , SymmetricProperty • FunctionalProperty, InverseFunctionalProperty • Equality– equivalentClass , sameAs , differentFrom… • Ontology annotation – Ontology, imports, versionInfo

  13. Example: Inference using ontologies • Ontology Languages (RDFS, OWL) has formal foundations that allow us to infer additional (implicit) statements • RDFS provides basic ones, e.g. sub-class, sub-property, domain • OWL adds many more axioms, e.g. inverse-property, equality, • SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language) enables a general purposed solution • Supports rule representation • But also requires inference support beyond RDFS and OWL hasbrother rdfs:subPropertyOf hasSibling hasChild owl:inverseOf hasParent hasSibling hasParent #Joe #Louise #Deborah hasBrother hasChild hasUncle SWRL: (x hasParent y) (y hasBrother z) => (x hasUncle z) Source: Semantic Web tutorial (AAAI 2005) by Deborah L. McGuinness

  14. More languages and more ontologies • Languages (require special inference engine) • [Trust/Uncertainty] BayesOWL • [Proof] PML (Proof Markup Language) • [Query/Data Access] SPARQL Query Language for RDF • [Rule] SWRL( Semantic Web Rule Language) • [Policy] REI: A Policy Specification Language • [Service] OWL-S by DAML (1.2 preview available) • [Service] SAWSDL (Semantic Annotations for WSDL) • [Thesauri] SKOS (Simple Knowledge Organization System) • Ontologies (only need RDFS and/or OWL inference) • Upper ontologies - OpenCyc, WordNet, OntoSem, SUO • Specialized common ontologies - FOAF, Dublin Core, RSS • Domain ontologies – bibtex, biology, and many… Li Ding, Pranam Kolari, Zhongli Ding, and Sasikanth Avancha, “Using Ontologies in the Semantic Web: A Survey”, in Ontologies in the Context of Information Systems (book chapter), 2005. http://ebiquity.umbc.edu/paper/html/id/257/

  16. Semantic Web data

  17. Semantic Web data sources • Text editor: I write RDF/XML manually. • Semantic Web Editors: Protégé, Swoop • Information Extraction (consumer side) • NLP (hard), e.g. SemNews • heuristic scrapping (regular expr.), e.g. Semagix Freedom • Wrapped database content (publisher side) • blog, social network websites, e.g. livejournal.com • academic interests: http://www.mindswap.org/, http://ebiquity.umbc.edu • Generated by software • creative commons license embedded in HTML • embedded metadata JPEG, PDF (XMP) • agent communication message • …

  18. The Scale of the Semantic Web Statistics based Semantic Web data indexed by Swoogle Estimated number of documents based on Google query

  19. Where the data from • “com” has contributed the largest portion of websites (71%) and pure SWDs (39%) because industry has adopted virtual hosting technology as well as ontologies such as RSS and FOAF • most SWOs are from “org” (46%, e.g. www.w3.org) and “edu” (14%, e.g., spire.umbc.edu) because of the deep interests in developing ontologies from academia and non-profit organizations. SWDs: Semantic Web documents; SWOs: semantic web ontologies; pure SWD: not embeded note: Statistics of top level domain is also used in characterizing the Web (Henziger and Lawrence 2004)

  20. Source websites of SWD Jan 2005- Aug 2005 Jan 2005- Mar 2006 • Invariant found! • The number of websites hosting more than m SWDs follows power law distribution • Similar to the Web • Head: virtual hosting • Tail: crawling strategy

  21. Size of SWD • Embedded SWDs are small • 69% have 3 triples • 96% have <10 triples; • Pure SWDs • 60% have 5 to 1000 triples. • Special size of RSS 130 • 17 triples for channel • 7 triples for each of the 15 items • SWOs • Biased by PML, • Small ones from RDF test • Largest is 1M Number of SWDs Number of SWOs # of triples

  22. Age of SWD • Measured by the last-modified time of SWD • PSWD: Exponential distribution • SWO: flat tail -- ontology development interests decrease?

  23. How Semantic Web Terms are used? • All usage distributions follow Power distribution • Few SWTs been well populated • 371 has >100 class-instance • 1208 has>100 property-instances
