LOD2 Pilod cooperation summary To gain more knowledge on linked data, the Dutch PiLOD project has applied for LOD2 support in the PUBLINK Call2013. An Award for LOD2 and Rozeta We’re pleased to announce that Rozeta has won a technology innovation award at the recently organized 58th International Fair of Technics and Technical Achievements in Belgrade, Serbia! European Data Forum 2014 in Athens was great success About 3 weeks ago the European Data Forum 2014 (EDF2014) took place in Athens, Greece on 19-20 March 2014.
LOCAH Project. Back near the start of the project, I published a post outlining the processes involved in generating the Archives Hub RDF dataset and serving up “Linked Data” descriptions from that dataset; it’s perhaps best summarised in the following diagram from that post: In this post, I’ll say a little bit more about what is involved in the “Expose” operation up in the top right of the diagram. Cool URIs for the Semantic Web In an earlier post, I discussed the URI patterns we are using for the URIs of “things” described in our data (archival resources, concepts, people, places, and so on). One of the core requirements for exposing our RDF data as Linked Data is that, given one of these URIs, a user/consumer of that URI can use the HTTP protocol to “look up” that URI and obtain a description of the thing identified by that URI.
Document URI Patterns Thse guidelines refer to the URIs used to identify “things” (somewhat tautologically, it seems to me!) Where: Documentation ASA.

Linking Lives | Using Linked Data to create biographical resources. Our Linked Data work has thrown up a significant number of challenges around the consistency and structure of the source data from the Archives Hub, and nowhere more so than around identifiers for the archival resources, that is, the references used for the archives at all levels of description, be it collection, series, file or item.
Identifiers on the Hub Identifiers serve two distinct purposes on the Archives Hub: (i) the identifier for the archive itself – the reference for the actual collection or sub-collection. This is contained within the ‘unitid’ tag. (ii) the identifier for the description of that archive – the finding aid. This is contained within the ‘eadid’ tag. a) Identifiers for the Description of the Archive The eadid tag consistently contains attributes for the country and the agency that maintains the description. <eadid countrycode=”GB” mainagencycode=”1234″ identifier=”JaB/A”>GB 1234 JaB/A</eadid> becomes Reference: GB 1234 JaB/A. The Music Ontology. Finto. About Finto is a Finnish service for the publication and utilization of vocabularies, ontologies and classifications. It provides a user interface for browsing the vocabularies and open interfaces for utilizing them in other applications.
Finto is being developed as a joint project between the National Library of Finland, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Education and Culture. Project Wiki The current service is based on the FinnONTO research project by the Aalto University and the University of Helsinki between 2003 and 2012. If you encounter any problems or have improvement ideas, please contact the Finto team. Links Project Wiki SeCo Website The National Library of Finland. FinnONTO -- National Semantic Web Ontology Project in Finland (2003-2012) - Semantic Computing Research Group (SeCo) Projektin suomenkielinen esittely Goal: National Semantic Web Infrastructure with Applications The ambitious goal of FinnONTO is to lay a foundation for a national metadata, ontology, ontology service, and linked data framework in Finland, and demonstrate its usefulness in practical applications. In our vision, a conceptual semantic infrastructure is needed for the semantic web in the same way as roads are needed for traffic and transportation, power plants and electrical networks are needed for energy supply, or GSM standards and networks are needed for mobile phones and wireless communication.
A solid, commonly agreed open infrastructure would make it much easier and cheaper for public organizations and companies to create interoperable intelligent contents and services on the coming semantic web.
