Digital DERI
Existing RDF in DERI Members Pages
Regarding RDF on each DERI member, clicking on any of the DERI Galway/Innsbruck members here: [http://www.deri.org/aboutderi/members/] leads to a page with an RDF metadata button on the left, e.g.: [http://c703-deri03.uibk.ac.at:8080/people/rdf/david.osullivan.rdf]
Resume Ontology
Resume ontology (linked from this paper): [http://purl.org/captsolo/resume-rdf/0.2/base] Uldis Bojars was working on this, and this can be used in Digital DERI to describe the skills, competencies and experience of people.
The Proposal, Discussions and Issues
1. Structure of RDF within DERI Web pages - (Discussed/To be agreed on)
- Tiered Structure
- DERI Ontology
- DERI International Page
- DERI Location Pages
- DERI Member Pages
- Multiple Editors (for each level)
- Scattered but Integratable
- Stage 1 - Will only provide data on organization/locations/members
- Later - Member's current locations, availability, events..
- See Figure 1
2. Ontologies used - (Discussed/Being Developed/To be agreed on)
- A DERI-specific ontology
- Simplified Semantic Web Portal Ontology
- Must be usable and relevant to all DERI locations/sub-groups
- Standard ontologies - FOAF, Resume
3. Standardization Issues (To be discussed)
- Ontology/RDF Data structure should reflect all DERI location's organizational structure
- Eg: Clusters in Galway - Group(s) in Stanford?
4. Authorization Issues (Discussed/To be agreed on)
- Who edits/creates what
- Hilda/Alice for Galway/Innsbruck pages when people join/leave
- DERI Members for DERI Member personal pages
- Other? - DERI Subgroup leaders for subgroup/cluster pages,etc (?)
- See figure 2
5. Writing RDF Data - Infomaster (Discussed/Being Developed/To be agreed on)
- Simple system to be used by all
- Stage 1 - Create Stage 1 data (semi-permanent) mentioned in (1)
Later on - Dynamic Data - Events, member availability & locations
- Later on - Logic/Reasoning with Infomaster
6. Exporting the RDF to pages (To be discussed)
- Updating the RDF files associated with the pages
7. Reading RDF Data - Infomaster (To be discussed)
- Updating Infomaster KB from RDF in pages
8. Synchronization Issues (Discussed)
- Infomaster updates the RDF data
- Infomaster's KB is updated from RDF data files. RDF created directly should conform
- Later on - Prevent information duplication and mismatch
Figures

- Notes about Figure 1. RDF Data for DERI Pages - very rough overall structure including DERI ontology
2. [https://www.sharemation.com/simonscerri/DigDtable.jpg Figure 2]
- Notes about Figure 2. Where RDF data is created, by whom, how it can be integrated, etc. Gives an example of how and where the following instances would be created and described
- DERI (the institute/organization)
- DERI Galway (a DERI Location)
- Simon Scerri (a DERI Member in DERI Galway)
SWCluster (a DERI SubGroup in DERI Galway)
- Columns:
- Defining Document - The Documents (and associated RDF data) where the data creation/description/management is taking place. The rows consist of a number of example defining documents.
- Concept Creation - The Concepts being created at the specified document (ontologies in this case)
- Instance Creation - The Instances being *created* at the specified document
- Instance Descriptions - The Instances being *described* at the specified document
- Instance Authorization - Who can create/remove/describe/modify Instances at the specified document, and through what means (it is specified where Infomaster will play its part)
- Rows (Defining Documents):
- Standard Ontologies - Where standard concepts have been described (EG: foaf#organization)
- The DERI Ontology - Where DERI-specific concepts will be described
The DERI International Portal - Where the DERI Locations & Links are introduced
The DERI Location Pages - Where the structure & members of that location are introduced
- The DERI Member Pages - Where more descriptions extend the basic descriptions given when the members are introduced.
- Any other Member Personal Non-DERI Pages
