Papers on finding and filtering links by Michiel
Hildebrand: Thesaurus-based
search in large heterogeneous collections, Searching in semantically rich linked data: a case study in cultural heritage
Wordnet allows you to traverse the class hierarchy using
hyponyms and hypernyms (after finding the definition of a word, click on the underlined S).

Everything in Google doc, including links to contributions
Useful Web Sites
-
europeana.
-
CHIP
allows exploratory access to (cultural heritage) information.
These show interesting interfaces:
- openAcademia
shows several visualizations of search results (tagcloud, topic
graph, relation browser.
- OntoWiki follows the wiki style with faceted navigation, map and calendar visualization.
- Tabulator (Tim
Berners-Lee) is available as a Firefox extension. Very
simple interface, which effectively shows (and allows
navigation) of the raw graph structure (not included in the survey).
These are more oriented to search.
- Swoogle, semantic web search engine.
- Squiggle is a simple but effective interface for recommendation and search in music.
- SemSearch allows simple semi-structured input queries.
- Freebase, an open shared
database of the world's knowledge (not strictly semantic web,
but similar goals).
Vox Populi, a system for generating video
sequences based on argument structures that uses explicit
representation of argumentation structure.
Semantic Web Resources
How Will We Interact with the Web of Data? by Tom Heath.
Semantic Web Challenge, in particular the 2008 winner paggr.
Wordnet is an
existing English language thesaurus from
Princeton that has been converted to RDF.
Dublin Core
(DC), VRA
Core are vocabularies for describing resources. VRA Core is
specialised for works of visual culture as well as the images
that document them.
SKOS, Simple
Knowledge Organisation System, is a family of formal languages,
built on RDF and RDFS, designed for the representation of
structured controlled vocabularies, such as thesauri or
classification schemes.
FOAF
(Friend of a Friend) a means of creating links among people on
the Web, also the FOAF project, in particular the explorer.
Random Useful Links
These are some links that may not be useful now for the course,
but are useful resources about relevant topics.
