Webs of data• Early Web - Web of pages

• http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/tim_berners_lee_on_the_next_web.html

• Semantic web started as a way to facilitate “machine accessible content”– Initially was available only to those with familiarity

with the languages and tools, e.g. your parents could not use it

• Webs of data grew out of this– One specific example is W3C’s Linked Open

Data 5

Semantic Web• http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/

• “The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W3C with participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF). See also the separate FAQ for further information.”

Terminology• Semantic Web

– An extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation, www.semanticweb.org

– Primer: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/swprimer/ • Semantic Grid

– Semantic services to use the resources of many computers connected by a network to solve large scale computational/ data problems

• Ontology (n.d.). The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ontology– An explicit formal specification of how to represent the

objects, concepts and other entities that are assumed to exist in some area of interest and the relationships that hold among them.

Semantic Web Basics• The triple: {subject-predicate-object}

Interferometer is-a optical instrumentOptical instrument has focal length

• W3C is the primary (but not sole) governing org.– RDF– OWL 1.0 and 2.0 - Ontology Web Language

• RDF – programming environment for 14+ languages, including C, C++,

Python, Java, Javascript, Ruby, PHP,...(no Cobol or Ada yet ;-( )

• OWL programming for Java

• Closed World - where complete knowledge is known (encoded), AI relied on this

• Open World - where knowledge is incomplete/ evolving, SW promotes this

Originally from AAAI 1999- Ontologies Panel by Gruninger, Lehmann, McGuinness, Uschold, Welty; – updated by McGuinness.Description in: www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/dlm/papers/ontologies-come-of-age-abstract.html

12

SW != ontologies on the web (!)• Ontologies are important, but use them only when necessary as

identified by use cases• The Semantic Web is about integrating data on the Web; ontologies

(and/or rules) are tools to achieve that when necessary• SW ontologies != some big (central) ontology

– The ethos of the Semantic Web is on sharing, ie, sharing possibly many small ontologies

– A huge, central ontology could be difficult to manage in terms of maintenance.

– Semantic web languages such as OWL contain primitives for equivalence and disjointness of terms and meta primitives for versioning info

• The practice: – SW applications using ontologies mix large number of ontologies and

vocabularies (FOAF, DC, and others) – the real advantage comes from this mix: that is also how new relationships

may be discovered• One readable background article from the metadata world is available at:

http://www.metamodel.com/article.php?story=20030115211223271

13

Semantic Web Myths• ‘the Semantic Web is a reincarnation of Artificial Intelligence

on the Web’ (closed world versus open world)• ‘it relies on giant, centrally controlled ontologies for

"meaning" (as opposed to a democratic, bottom-up control of terms)’

• ‘one has to add metadata to all Web pages, convert all relational databases, and XML data to use the Semantic Web’

• ‘one has to learn formal logic, knowledge representation techniques, description logic, etc, to use it’

• ‘it is, essentially, an academic project, of no interest for industry’

14

Integrating Multiple Data Sources

• The Semantic Web lets us merge statements from different sources

• The RDF Graph Model allows programs to use data uniformly regardless of the source

• Figuring out where to find such data is a motivator for Semantic Web Services

#Ionosphere #magnetic

“100”“TerrestrialIonosphere”

name

hasCoordinates

hasLowerBoundaryValue

Different line & text colors represent different data sources

hasLowerBoundaryUnit

“km”

15

Drill Down /Focused Perusal• The Semantic Web uses Uniform

Resource Identifiers (URIs) to name things

• These can typically be resolved to get more information about the resource

• This essentially creates a web of data analogous to the web of text created by the World Wide Web

• Ontologies are represented using the same structure as content– We can resolve class and

property URIs to learn about the ontology

Statements about Statements• The Semantic Web allows us to

make statements about statements– Timestamps

– Provenance / Lineage

– Authoritativeness / Probability / Uncertainty

– Security classification

– …

• This is an unsung virtue of the Semantic Web

‘Collecting’ the ‘data’

• Part of the (meta)data information is present in tools ... but thrown away at output e.g., a business chart can be generated by a tool: it ‘knows’ the structure, the classification, etc. of the chart, but, usually, this information is lost storing it in web data would be easy!

• SW-aware tools are around (even if you do not know it...), though more would be good: – Photoshop CS stores metadata in RDF in, say, jpg files

(using XMP)– RSS 1.0 feeds are generated by (almost) all blogging

systems (a huge amount of RDF data!)

18

‘Collecting’ the ‘data’• Scraping - different tools, services, etc, come

around every day: – get RDF data associated with images, for

example: service to get RDF from flickr images– service to get RDF from XMP– XSLT scripts to retrieve microformat data from

XHTML files– RSS scraping in use in VO projects in Japan– scripts to convert spreadsheets to RDF – e.g. see

the tools, tutorials, demos at http://logd.tw.rpi.edu

19

‘Collecting’ the ‘data’• SQL - A huge amount of data in Relational

Databases– Although tools exist, it is not feasible to convert that data

into RDF – Instead: SQL ⇋ RDF ‘bridges’ are being developed: a

query to RDF data is transformed into SQL on-the-fly– Reading for this week, article by Berners Lee and Sahoo

et al.– RDB2RDF W3 working group -

http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/– D2RQ/ D2RServer– Commercial solutions appearing

• NoSQL

20

More Collecting• RDFa (formerly known as RDF/A) extends XHTML

by: – extending the link and meta to include child elements– add metadata to any elements (a bit like the class in

microformats, but via dedicated properties)

• It is very similar to microformats, but with more rigor: – it is a general framework (instead of an ‘agreement’ on

the meaning of, say, a class attribute value)– terminologies can be mixed more easily

• GRDDL - Gleaning Resource Descriptions from Dialects of Languages

• ATOM (follow on to RSS)

Linked open data• http://linkeddata.org/guides-and-tutorials

(Class 2) Management• Creation of logical collections

• Physical data handling

• Interoperability support

• Security support

• Data ownership

• Metadata collection, management and access.

• Persistence

• Knowledge and information discovery

• Data dissemination and publication 25

Data Management and WOD• Is this the grand solution?

• How is the data managed?

• Found?

• Curated?

• What about the metadata?

• What problems are introduced?

26

Data on the Web, Internet• Data behind web services

• Data files on web sites

• We have covered data as service approaches

• Thinking you have found data when you have really only found information and metadata

• The real difference between this topic and the next one is:– Access and dissemination– Level of curation (and often description)

27

Data on the internet• http://www.dataspaceweb.org/

• Data files on other protocols– FTP– RFTP– GridFTP– SABUL– XMPP/AMQP– Others…

28

Deep web• Data behind web services

• Data behind query interfaces (databases or files)

• Introduces a different curation problem

29

The loose definition• Something that a crawler cannot find and/or

index– Creates the other definition of shallow web

• Has many implications for discovery, access and use

• Curation is more complex to satisfy this definition, i.e. not a matter of just putting files ‘on the web’

• 50, 100, 1000 times the ‘shallow web’?

30

Managing (in) the deep web• Sometimes, the deep web aspect of a data

source can be due to extreme obscurity, language peculiarities, NO metadata, NO documentation

• There are no known studies of how effective data management (what you are learning) could change the percentage of deep/ shallow

• Semantics are often put forward as a solution http://www.mkbergman.com/458/new-currents-in-the-deep-web/ 31

Internet impacts on management

• Management of data that is… on the Internet!

• Web – ‘stateless’

• Curation, Preservation – highly stateful (by definition)

• You will hear terms such as digital curation and digital preservation (search on these) but what about internet curation and internet preservation (Internet Archive?)

• What others??32

(Class 2) Management• Creation of logical collections

• Physical data handling

• Interoperability support

• Security support

• Data ownership

• Metadata collection, management and access.

• Persistence

• Knowledge and information discovery

• Data dissemination and publication 33

Thus data frameworks are appearing

• Many – meaning they go beyond web sites, they incorporate many of the data management functions

• Initially syntactic – e.g. OPeNDAP, ADDE,

• Application oriented – e.g. virtual observatories

• Semantic – e.g. Virtual Solar-Terrestrial Observatory

• ALL of these are changing the nature of data management and role of data ‘providers’ cf. ? 34

Some DefinitionsDAP = Data Access Protocol

Model used to describe the data; Request syntax and semantics; and Response syntax and semantics.

OPeNDAP The software; Numerous reference implementations; Core/libraries and services (servers and clients).

OPeNDAP Inc. OPeNDAP is a 501.c(3) non-profit corporation; Formed to maintain, evolve and promote the

discipline neutral DAP that was the DODS core infrastructure.


37

Considerations with regard to the development of DAP and OPeNDAP

Many data providers

Many data formats

Many different semantic representations of the data

Many different security requirements

Many different client types


38

Broad Vision

A world in which a single data access protocol is used for the exchange of data between network based applications regardless of discipline.

A layer above TCP/IP providing for syntactic and semantic consistency not available in existing protocols such as FTP.


39

Practical Practical Considerations

The broad vision:

Is syntactically achievable, but

Was not semantically achievable, at least not fully, but perhaps in the near term.


40

OPeNDAP Inc. Mission Statement

To maintain, evolve and promote a data access protocol (DAP) and reference implementation software (OPeNDAP) for the syntactically consistent exchange of data over the network.

The DAP should provide syntactic interoperability across disciplines and allow for semantic interoperability within disciplines.


41

The DAP has been designed to be as general as possible without being constrained to a particular discipline or world view.

The Data Access Protocol (DAP)

The DAP is a discipline neutral data access protocol; it is being used in astronomy, medicine, earth science,…

Provides data format and location, and data organization transparency

Is metadata neutral


42

DAP comparisons• File-based

– GridFTP/FTP– HTTP– SRB

• Service-based– Open-Geospatial Consortium, WCS, WMS, WFS, …– Virtual Observatory (Astronomy), SIAP, SSAP, STAP,…


43

Who is using DAP/ OPeNDAP?

• Science examples– PMEL with their Tsunami inundation modeling– Ocean regional modelers to extract open

boundary conditions– Visualization of data sets using MATLAB/IDL/…

• Service examples– Live Access Server– Mapserver – OGC services and OPeNDAP data

access (future)– Digital Library Service - metadata and catalogue

info


44

Data Access Protocol (DAP2) - Current

DAP2 currently a NASA/ESE ‘Standard’

Current servers implement DAP2

DAP 2 + XML responses (implemented)

DAP3


45

DAP4 DAP4 improvements over DAP3:

Additional datatypesSwathBlob - GIF, MPEG,…

Additional functionality Check sumModulo

The additional datatypes will enable the DAP to be used in a wider variety of circumstances and are a direct response to users’ requests.


46

What DAP means to me

• Data access and transport• Response types: DAP objects versus file type

– A DAP URL is essentially an HTTP URL with additional restrictions placed on the abs-path component.

– DAP2-URL = "http://" host [ ":" port ] [ abs-path]• abs-path = server-path data-source-id [ "." ext[ "?" query ] ] • server-path = [ "/" token ] • data-source-id = [ "/" token ] • ext = "das" | "dds" | "dods"

– The server-path is the pathname to the server, whereas data-source-id is the pathname to the data.

Ancillary Information Service• Current capability: Attributes only• Client-side only• Local and remote resources• Local resource databases

The AIS enables users to augment the metadata for a data source in a controlled way without requiring write access to the original data. By using the DAP, users are also isolated from data format issues.

Lessons (Re)Learned Lessons (Re)Learned

1. Modularity provides for flexibility

The more modular the underlying infrastructure the more flexible the system. This is particularly important for network based systems for which the technology, software and hardware, are changing rapidly.


70

Lessons (Re)LearnedLessons (Re)Learned

2. Data of interest will be stored in a variety of formats.

Regardless of how much one might want to define the format to be used by system participants, in the end the data will be stored in a variety of formats.

2a. The same is true of use metadata!


71

Lessons LearnedLessons Learned

3. Structural representation of sequence data sets is a major obstacle to interoperability

Care must be given to the organizational structure (as opposed to the format) of the data.


72


7. The lack of a consistent structure for data inventories is a major obstacle to the use of distributed systems.


73

Lesser Lessons Learned Lesser Lessons Learned

9. Some surprises/observations encountered in the OPeNDAP effort

Metadata focus in the past has been on data discovery not on data use, but metadata for use is where it’s at.

Number of variables increases almost linearly with the number of data sets.

Users will take advantage of all of the flexibility offered by a system sometimes to the disadvantage of all.

Incredible variability in the structural organization of data.


74


10. Time to maturity is order 10 years not 3

Developing new infrastructure takes time, particularly to iron out all of the %^*% little details.

Summary

Tetherless World Constellation

75

Data discovery• Free text search on the internet/ web

• Data portals

• What makes discovery work?– For Deep Web?– For Linked Data?

76

Data discovery• What makes discovery work?

– Metadata– Logical organization– Attention to the fact that someone would want to

discover it– It turns out that file types are a key enabler or

inhibitor to discovery

• What does not work?– Result ranking using *any* conventional

algorithms77

Smart search• Semantically aware search, e.g.

http://noesis.itsc.uah.edu

• Faceted search, e.g. – mspace (http://mspace.fm )– jSpace (Clark and Parsia)– Exhibit (MIT)– S2S – e.g. International Open Government

Dataset Catalog (IOGDC; http://logd.tw.rpi.edu )

Intl. Open Govt. Data Cat.http://logd.tw.rpi.edu

Federated search• “is the simultaneous search of multiple online

databases or web resources and is an emerging feature of automated, web-based library and information retrieval systems. It is also often referred to as a portal or a federated search engine.” wikipedia

• Libraries have been doing this for a long time (Z39.50, ISO23950)

• Key is consistent search metadata fields (keywords)• E.g. Geospatial One Stop http://www.geodata.gov

83

Data integration• “involves combining data residing in different

sources and providing users with a unified view of these data. This process becomes significant in a variety of situations both commercial (when two similar companies need to merge their databases) and scientific (combining research results from different bioinformatics repositories, for example). ”

84

Data integration• “Data integration appears with increasing

frequency as the volume and the need to share existing data explodes. It has become the focus of extensive theoretical work, and numerous open problems remain unsolved. In management circles, people frequently refer to data integration as "Enterprise Information Integration" (EII)” wikipedia

• Is this a data science/ management challenge (rhetorical question)?

Simple supply side questions that are very hard to answer?

• Who produces the information I need?• Are they “the” recognized authority? How can I tell?• How often will it be re-published?

– Is the supply predictable and reliable? Can I count on it?• Do the data have a geospatial characteristic?

– What are its geospatial qualities (specs) and provenance?– Is it consistently defined in its meaning?– What is the scope of its coverage?

• Will the data be maintained?– Geometry and models– Attributes and metadata

• Where do I get it and in what forms?

They should not have to ask if it has been integrated?

88

What is stopping us from answering these basic

questions?

89

Barriers to integration

• What is preventing our data from being integrated?– Acquisition:

• Uncoordinated data acquisition strategies at national level

• Barrier between business data and geospatial data i.e. schools, minerals,

• Few means to broker and optimize requirements from consumers

– Production

• Quality of our metadata and when and how we get it

• Unclear operational roles in a national data framework. (NSDI)

• Absence of a granular or meaningful trustworthy data chain of authority?

• Absence of a schedule to communicate what is going to be happening?90

Barriers

• What is preventing our data from being integrated?– Data Management

• Cataloging

• Fundamental Semantics (A16)

– Policy, Organization and Culture

• Federated political and government collection and production environments

• divergent data quality requirements – national, state, local, regional

• Stove-piped national Geodetic policy (A16)

• Shifting market expectations and tolerances for lower quality in favor of access?

• Legacy institutional barriers and thinking

• They are national assets not just a programs data.

Aiding data integration• Standards – formats for sure but also

– Metadata– Semantics– Designing for integratability!

• The goal should be to REDUCE the curation barrier to data integration

• What would you do? What have you done?96

Summary• Theme of data management in the chaotic

and enabling environment of the web, internet

• Emergence of frameworks that encompass some aspects of data management

• Unlocking data in an integratable way is an immense challenge

• Anything/ everything you can do by following what you have learned in this course will help
