  1. CERIF Interoperability and LOD Miguel-Angel Sicilia TG LOD leader, euroCRIS

  2. Interoperability: levels and purposes • Transferring from one place to another or combining information while retaining meaning • Some important facts: • Semantics are in the CERIF model • The LOD is not adding by itself any semantics, only exposing in a different format. So the LOD “ontologies” are no other thing than a RDF expression of CERIF. • Improvement in semantics should go either directly to the CERIF relational model or to some “extended” ontology

  3. Reasons to share CERIF data • For the benefit of the public • Applications collecting maps of science combining heterogeneous sources of information. • For intelligent applications • Applications relating patterns of scientific production with the geospatial or disciplinary structure of countries. • For partners that need the data transferred for internal processing • E.g. National Agency asks a University for the journal publication production per Department to benchmark and assign funding.. • For partners that need on-line access to data. • E.g. a third party creates a Gmail extension that shows you some information on your contacts by accessing public RIS on-line. • For translating data between schemas • E.g. to translate CERIF data into VIVO RDF.

  4. Specification view CERIF extended ontologies (OWL) CERIF LOD (RDF) CERIF Conformance testing CERIF mappings CERIF REST interface (JSON) CERIF Interchange (XML+BODs) CERIF base vocabularies/ontologies (RDF) CERIF model (SQL + E/R)

  5. Activity in 2012 • This year: • VOA3R implementation (excl. bibliographical data). • Mapping of VIVO and CERIF at the CERIF model level. • To-do: • Publish the base ontologies (and VIVO mapping) in EuroCRIS domain. • Finalize and publish the LOD recommendations. • Publish the package to expose CERIF data as LOD using D2RQ (config. Files + install manual). • Specs revised and augmented by ENGAGE.
