1. Apache Stanbol (Incubating) and the Web of Data Olivier Grisel, Nuxeo ogrisel@apache.org, 2011-11-11 11/7/11

2. My Background 11/7/11 Olivier Grisel - R&D Engineer nuxeo Open Source ECM European project: IKS Stuff I do: Machine Learning Natural Language Processing All things data

3. Agenda 11/7/11 The Web of Data: what, why, how? CMS integration demo Semantic Components in Stanbol Building models for Stanbol

4. The Web of Data What, Why, How?

6. 11/7/11 “ To a computer, then, the web is a flat , boring world devoid of meaning ” Tim Berners Lee, http://www.w3.org/Talks/WWW94Tim/

7. 11/7/11 “ This is a pity, as in fact documents on the web describe real objects and imaginary concepts , and give particular relationships between them” Tim Berners Lee, http://www.w3.org/Talks/WWW94Tim/

8. 11/7/11 “ The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning , better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.” Tim Berners Lee, http://www.w3.org/Talks/WWW94Tim/

9. 11/7/11 “ Adding semantics to the web involves two things: allowing documents which have information in machine-readable forms, and allowing links to be created with relationship values .” Tim Berners Lee, http://www.w3.org/Talks/WWW94Tim/

12. Decoding User Intents 11/7/11

13. Decoding User Intents 11/7/11 Next Generation User Interfaces Siri - conversational interface IBM DeepQA: Watson for Heath Care Tell Google about your stuff Publish structured prediction of your products "3 bedrooms flat near Montmartre" Useful for non-public data as well Intranet query: "ApacheCon slides" Intranet query: "Xerox invoices" Intranet query: "Xerox salesperson email"

14. The Web of Data - How? 11/7/11 RDF / TripeStores / Sparql Graph stores with dynamic schemas Strong interoperability JSON-LD Upgrade your JSON with scoped vocabularies Web / Mobile / JS developer friendly RDFa + schema.org & rNews Publish annotation in structured markup Vocabulary understood by Search Engines

15. HTML example 11/7/11 <p> My name is Manu Sporny and you can give me a ring via 1-800-555-0155. <img src=&quot;http://manu.sporny.org/images/manu.png&quot; /> I have a <a href=&quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;>blog</a>. </p>

16. RDFa example 11/7/11 <p vocab=&quot;http://schema.org/&quot; prefix=&quot;foaf: http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/&quot; about=&quot;#manu&quot; typeof=&quot;Person&quot; > My name is <span property=&quot;name&quot; >Manu Sporny</span> and you can give me a ring via <span property=&quot;telephone&quot; >1-800-555-0155</span>. <img rel=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;http://manu.sporny.org/images/manu.png&quot; /> I have a <a rel=&quot;foaf:weblog&quot; href=&quot;http://manu.sporny.org/&quot;>blog</a>. </p>

20. Bridging the Web of Data and my CMS

22. Apache Stanbol 11/7/11 Enhancer Text analysis with Apache OpenNLP  / Tika EntityHub / ContentHub Linked Data Indexing with Apache Solr Graph Storage with Apache Clerezza / Jena Reasoner / Rules Inference with Apache Jena & OWLApi  Components / HTTP Services OSGi with Apache Felix / JAX-RS with Jersey

27. RESTful is Beautiful

28. Minimalist HTTP Client 11/7/11 curl -X POST -H &quot;Accept: text/turtle&quot; -H &quot;Content-type: text/plain&quot; --data &quot;John Smith was born in London.&quot; http://stanbol.demo.nuxeo.com/engines

31. Local IT infrastructure (LAN) Nuxeo DM addon 1 1 Apache Stanbol 1 2 1 Engine 1 Engine 2 Engine 3 3 DBpedia Freebase Geonames LDAP

32. Stanbol Enhancer 11/7/11 Chain of Enhancement Engines Language Detection (Tika) Named Entity Detection (OpenNLP) Linked Data dereferencing (Solr) Refactoring / Translation (Jena)

33. Stanbol EntityHub 11/7/11 Referenced Sites DBpedia Geonames (NY Times, MusicBrainz, ProductDB, UnitProt...) Fast local offline indices (Solr) Batch indexing utilities for RDF dumps Multilingual fulltext search in labels & descriptions Vocabulary mapping / merging

34. Stanbol Reasoner 11/7/11 RDFS / OWL-lite / OWL2 Consistency checks Cardinality checks: each person has 1 birth date Range constraints: birth dates are valid dates Materializing types / properties Types from subclass: Musician > Artist > Person Symmetric property: A worked with B Transitive property: A is a located in B Query-time expansion / inference?

35. Stanbol Rules 11/7/11 Simple Prolog-like language uncleRule[ has(<http://example.org/family.owl#hasParent>, ?x, ?z) . has(<http://example.org/family.owl#hasSibling>, ?z, ?y) -> has(<http://example.org/family.owl#hasUncle>, ?x, ?y) ] Sparql Construct or SWRL PREFIX family: <http://example.org/family.owl#> CONSTRUCT { ?x family:hasUncle} ?y } WHERE { ?x family:hasParent ?z . ?z family:hasSibling ?y}

36. Online Demos 11/7/11 Simple analyzer with small index https://stanbol.demo.nuxeo.com All services deployed http://dev.iks-project.eu:8081

37. Building Stanbol Enhancer models from Wikipedia with the Apache data tools

38. Universal Topic Classification 11/7/11 Use Apache Lucene / Solr MoreLikeThis to perform a truncated nearest neighbors query in the TF-IDF vector space of Wikipedia

39. Universal Topic Classification 11/7/11 Index text of all articles grouped by topic Solr MoreLikeThis query on new document DBpedia dumps provide: Text summaries for each article “ subject” relationships between articles and topics “ broader” / “narrower” SKOS hieararchy between topics

40. About the Data 11/7/11 500k purely technical categories “ People_with_missing_birth_place”, “Rivers_in_Romania” 70k “semantically grounded” categories Paths to roots require both “ technical” and “grounded” categories Scale: 1.2M topic / topic links 30M topic / article links

41. Some results (Wikinews) 11/7/11 US children who celebrate Independence Day more likely to become Republicans, says Harvard study Fireworks Voting theory Republican Party (United States) Statistics Electoral systems
