Presentation slides (PDF) More than a decade after the emergence of electronic journals, the Web-based scholarly communication system still strongly resembles its paper-based predecessor. The growing frustration with this status-quo is illustrated by three prominent events in 2011 alone aimed at bringing together thought leaders to reflect on an improved scholarly communication system that better leverages the technical and social capabilities offered by the networked environment: the...

Presentation slides (pptx) The Open Citations Corpus is a database of approx. 6.3 million biomedical literature citations, harvested from the reference lists of all open access articles in PubMed Central. These contain references to approx. 3.4 million papers, which represent ~20% of all PubMed-listed papers published between 1950 and 2010, including all the most highly cited papers in every biomedical field. The Open Citations Corpus web site allows you to browse these bibliographic...

Präsentationsfolien (PDF) Das Linked Open Data University of Münster (LODUM) Projekt zielt auf die Verbesserung der Sichtbarkeit und Transparenz der Universität unter Nutzung von Semantic Web Technologien ab. Hauptziel ist die Verbesserung der Zugänglichkeit von Forschungsergebnissen (Publikationen, Forschungsdaten, Modellen, Methoden und Software), um transparente und reproduzierbare Forschung zu gewährleisten. Dieser Linked Science Ansatz setzt auf einen verbesserten Austausch von...

Presentation slides (pptx) Scholarly publishing is fundamentally broken at essentially all levels starting with basic functionality and ranging to access, incentives, attribution, archiving, share/re-use and cost/benefit. What could be the feasible alternatives which would move scholarly publishing closer to a modern, IT-based system? A system which assists scientists in sorting, filtering and discovering relevant scientific findings? Which provides open access to tax-payer-funded...

ABSTRACT The presentation will focus on how we published our linked data and the tasks to be carried out to be able to publish the data. The presentation will begin with a short introduction of the library, the staff and the software and hardware infrastructure from the point of view of our topic. In the second part of the presentation I will explain what we have published and how it was published. The third part will be about the processes of the actual publication, and the tools used for...

2010 hat die Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (DNB) damit begonnen, ihre Wissensbasis bestehend aus bibliographischen Daten und den Normdaten als Linked Data zu publizieren. Vor allem Normdaten bilden für die Erschließungsarbeit in Gedächtniseinrichtungen wie Museen, Archiven und Bibliotheken schon jetzt eine wichtige Basis. Ziel der DNB ist es jetzt, mit der Publikation der Daten als Tripel eine direkte Nutzung der gesamten nationalbibliografischen Daten und der Normdaten durch die...

ABSTRACT In order to make its data more useful on the Web, the French national library has designed a new project. This "data.bnf.fr" project is still at an early stage. We are only starting to build the information hub that will allow us to gather the data from our various datasets. The BnF wishes to build Web pages, gathering resources around the concepts of "works" and "authors". The project involves transforming existing data, enriching and interlinking the dataset with internal and...

ABSTRACT From the book catalogue to the card catalogue to the online catalogue, libraries have adapted their practices to take advantage of new technologies, and have used these advancements to better serve library users. The next step in this evolution is already on the horizon: it is the web of data known commonly as the Semantic Web. Re-imagining library catalogues as a web of data has great potential for library users and all information seekers. Like the web of documents that is the...

ABSTRACT Durch den neuen Erschließungsstandard „Resource Description and Access“ (RDA) lassen sich bibliografische Daten sowie Normdaten Semantic-Web-konform repräsentieren. Der Vortrag soll aufzeigen, welche Auswirkungen RDA auf die Katalogisierung in Bibliotheken und den Zugang zu den erschlossenen Ressourcen im Semantic Web hat. Anhand erster Erfahrungen aus praktischen Umsetzungen wird erläutert, wie bibliografische Daten durch RDA und Linked-Data-Technologien besser zugänglich...

ABSTRACT Academic bibliography of the University of Economics in Prague consists of bibliographic records of publications involving journal articles, conference papers, lecture notes, monographs and monograph chapters created by the academic staff of the university. We would like to discuss the experiences gained in the process of this dataset's transformation from its current data format to RDF-based data. During the course of conversion we will specify the entity types in our data and...
