THE SEMANTIC WEB AN INTRODUCTION
LUIGI DE RUSSIS
![Page 2: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
THE WEB IS A WEB OF DOCUMENT
FOR PEOPLE, NOT FOR MACHINES
![Page 3: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
THE SEMANTIC WEB IS A WEB OF DATA

LET’S THINK!
![Page 5: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
EXERCISE: BUILD A MUSIC CATALOG
Comprehensive guide to music across the world
Web-based
With always-updated information about each artist
![Page 6: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
HOW?
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS?
WHAT ABOUT DATA REPLICATION?
WHAT ABOUT DATA SYNCHRONIZATION?
…?
![Page 7: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
SOLUTION #1
HOW? Site editors roam the Web for new facts and update the site manually
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS? A lot of people need to continuously roam the Web; the site will get
soon out-of-date
WHAT ABOUT DATA? Data is replicated and not up-to-date with new facts
![Page 8: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
SOLUTION #2
HOW? Site editors roam the Web for new data and write a program to extract
the information
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS? Code needs to be updated each time a new site is found; the site will get
out-of-date, soon or later…
WHAT ABOUT DATA? Data is replicated and not up-to-date
![Page 9: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
SOLUTION #3
HOW? Site editors browse the Web for new data via APIs, and write some code
to incorporate the information
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS? Code needs to be updated each time a new site is found and/or an API is
changed; the site will get out-of-date, soon or later…
WHAT ABOUT DATA? Data is replicated and not up-to-date
![Page 10: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SOLUTION #4
HOW? Site editors choose to use some external, public datasets (e.g.,
Wikipedia, MusicBrainz, …)
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS? No problem
WHAT ABOUT DATA? Data is immediately available, not as APIs or hidden on a Web site.
Information can be extracted using standard queries or HTTP requests.
![Page 11: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
IN SHORT… Use the Web of Data as a Content Management System
Use the community at large as content editor
AN EXAMPLE: BBC MUSIC http://www.bbc.co.uk/music
SOLUTION #4
![Page 12: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DATA ON THE WEB IS NOT ENOUGH! we need a proper infrastructure
DATA SHOULD BE AVAILABLE ON THE WEB accessible via standard Web technologies
DATA SHOULD BE INTERLINKED OVER THE WEB i.e., data can be integrated over the Web
THIS IS WHERE SEMANTIC WEB COME IN
![Page 13: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
FUNDAMENTALS
![Page 14: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
To a computer, the Web is a flat, boring world, devoid of
meaning. This is a pity, as in fact documents on the Web
describe real objects and imaginary concepts. […]
Adding semantics to the Web involves two things: allowing
documents which have information in machine-readable
forms, and allowing links to be created with relationship
values. Only when we have this extra level of semantics we
will be able to use computer power to help us exploit the
information to a greater extent than our own reading.
TIM BERNERS-LEE, 1994
![Page 15: Semantic Web: an introduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022052619/555b856ad8b42ae81d8b491f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
WHAT IS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH AI?
INFLUENCE Some technologies in the Semantic Web benefited a lot from AI research
and development (and viceversa)
DIFFERENT GOALS Artificial Intelligence approach: build smarter machines, teach
computers to infer the meaning of data
Semantic Web approach: have smarter data, make data easier for
machines to find, access and process

RESOURCE AND DESCRIPTION
RESOURCE every document “reachable” on the Web
no matter the content, format, language, etc.
RESOURCE DESCRIPTION independent from the format
standard language (metadata)

EXAMPLE: BOOKSTORE
It is time to sell the books we modeled.
Users must have the possibility to search in our book catalog.
We need to describe our store
and add some other information about the books.
GoodRelations helps in realizing such an example:
