Welcome to the Bibliographic Ontology Website | The Bibliographi Semantics, HTML, XHTML, and Structure - Semantics - Articles - B Articles: Semantics, HTML, XHTML, and Structure Introduction Good HTML structure is based on logic, order, and using semantically correct markup. Once your HTML structure is in place with the appropriate markup, add CSS for visual presentation. The information below is meant as a jumping off point, written for clients and others who want to know at least enough to understand what’s going on within their pages and how to create a solid, semantically correct webpage. A Few Basic Elements Headings W3C info:7.5.5 Headings: The H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6 elements Use heading elements for headings: H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6. For example, this: <h1>Our Company</h1><h2>Our Services</h2> Becomes this: Our Services Paragraphs: the P Element Use the P element for paragraphs. W3C info about P: “The P element represents a paragraph. Line Breaks: the BR Element BR at W3C: 9.3.2 Controlling line breaks The BR element is one of the more abused HTML elements around. Emphasis: the EM Element EM at W3C: “Indicates emphasis.”
RDF - Semantic Web Standards Overview RDF is a standard model for data interchange on the Web. RDF has features that facilitate data merging even if the underlying schemas differ, and it specifically supports the evolution of schemas over time without requiring all the data consumers to be changed. RDF extends the linking structure of the Web to use URIs to name the relationship between things as well as the two ends of the link (this is usually referred to as a “triple”). This linking structure forms a directed, labeled graph, where the edges represent the named link between two resources, represented by the graph nodes. Recommended Reading The RDF 1.1 specification consists of a suite of W3C Recommendations and Working Group Notes, published in 2014. A number of textbooks have been published on RDF and on Semantic Web in general. Discussions on a possible next version of RDF W3C has recently set up a new RDF Working Group, whose charter is to make a minor revision of RDF. Last modified and/or added All relevant tools
DOAC: Description of a Career Twine - Organize, Share, Discover Information Around Your Intere Web Data Commons Planning a Semantic Web site This article discusses what you need to know to make your Web site part of the Semantic Web. It starts with a discussion of the problems the Semantic Web tries to solve and then moves to the technologies involved, such as Resource Description Framework (RDF), Web Ontology Language (OWL), and SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language (SPARQL). You'll see how the Semantic Web is layered on top of the existing Web. It then covers some issues that you want to know about when you plan a new Web site and also gives specific examples of how to use technologies like RDFa and Microformats to enable your existing Web site to become a part of the Semantic Web. Introduction to the Semantic Web The World Wide Web is the largest single information resource humanity has ever produced. The Semantic Web is Tim Berners-Lee's vision of the future of the Web. The Web was originally all about documents. Structuring data adds value to that data. Back to top Semantic Web technology overview Figure 1. Listing 1.
Content management system CMSs are often used to run websites containing blogs, news, and shopping. Many corporate and marketing websites use CMSs. CMSs typically aim to avoid the need for hand coding but may support it for specific elements or entire pages. Main features[edit] The function and use of content management systems is to store and organize files, and provide version-controlled access to their data. A CMS may serve as a central repository containing documents, movies, pictures, phone numbers, scientific data. Distinguishing between the basic concepts of user and content, the content management system (CMS) has two elements: Content management application (CMA) is the front-end user interface that allows a user, even with limited expertise, to add, modify and remove content from a Web site without the intervention of a Webmaster.Content delivery application (CDA) compiles that information and updates the Web site.

» Implementing FOAF in Rails <CrowdVine Blog> FOAF is an RDF spec for describing people and the relationships between them. I thought FOAF had mostly died and been replaced by hcard/XFN. However, it looks like FOAF is going to make a come back as one of the technologies that people build their OpenSocial APIs on top of. So I decided to add it to CrowdVine. You’d think this would be simple but I couldn’t find anyone who described it clearly. Define a MimeType in config/initializers/mime_types.rb so that we can use respond_to to implement FOAF as a second view on on existing profile page. Mime::Type.register("application/rdf+xml", :rdf) If your profile urls are something like /profiles/42 then we want the FOAF url to be /profile/42.rdf. map.foaf 'profiles/show/:id. Now let’s go into our controller and use respond_to to tell our action to choose a template based on the requested format. respond_to do |format| format.html format.rdf end Now you’re ready for a FOAF template. xml.instruct!

An Analysis of hNews Usage - Max Cutler On Wednesday, Martin Moore, one of the creators of the hNews microformat, posted on Idea Lab about how hNews is in use at 577 U.S. news sites. As someone who has long been interested in standardized markup and interchange formats for news content, I found this interesting and set out to investigate for myself. Moore’s post contains a link to a Google document containing a list of the 577 sites. I downloaded this spreadsheet as a CSV for easy consumption and analysis, and set to work. Duplicates/Sub-sites First thing I noticed is that there are 25 entries whose domain is already mentioned previously in the list. CMSs Then I started randomly going to sites in the list, and noticed that many of them look remarkably similar. I came up with simple heuristics for determining which CMS powered a site (e.g., by looking for references to the CMS company’s domain in a CSS stylesheet or Javascript file link). Results The results (see appendix for full document): Compliance Final Thoughts Appendix
Semantic Web The promise of web standards W3C standards define an open web platform for application development. The web has the unprecedented potential to enable developers to build rich interactive experiences, that can be available on any device. The platform continues to expand, but web users have long ago rallied around HTML as the cornerstone of the web. Read more about W3C Standards Why W3C web standards? W3C publishes recommendations, that are considered web standards. W3C develops technical specifications according to the W3C Process, which is designed to maximize consensus, ensure quality, earn endorsement and adoption by W3C Members and the broader community. W3C web standards are optimized for interoperability, security, privacy, web accessibility, and internationalization. W3C's proven web standards process is based on fairness, openness, royalty-free, we make the web work, for everyone. Value of creating standards at W3C Wide array of applications
