Editor's Notes

  1. Final copy is in the proceedings of WWW2008.
  2. It's running off this stuff We do a bit of work to it... Looking at it this makes my eyes go fuzzy
  3. Is that better? What we do is we keep the field data...
  4. We've done work on leader elements, indicators and fixed format fields, but today to keep things simple I'm just taking basic field data. Let's throw the rest away for now.
  5. When you see white boxes like this I mean that the data model contains literal text strings. Let's move them around a bit to make space for something.
  6. Because we're describing the thing the record was about, rather than the record itself, we can use different labels. Let's take just one of these relationships
  7. The problem becomes clear if we move something out of the way, to make room for something else.
  8. Something else has a title of "harry potter and the order of the phoenix" Unsurprisingly, something and something else have a lot in common
  9. This approach is what I would call record-centric, we haven't got any more meaning than was in the original record. Let's talk that through as an example [click] The two books are both by JK Rowling, but this is not JK Rowling, this is a string of text. This is JK Rowling...
  10. OK, so it's not JK Rowling, it's a picture of JK Rowling - I asked, but she wouldn't come. The point is that the words Rowling, JK and the author known as JK Rowling are different things Not a new thought I know...
  11. This man made great use of new technology back in the 1800s, he represented authors, titles and subjects as abstract concepts, with each author being recognised even if they shared the same name. Subjects were recognised as different even if they shared common terms and more. He wrote about it
  12. In this great book - anyone read it? The technology he was taking advantage of?
  13. The card... What I'm trying to do with the data is not really different to the introduction of card catalogs over bound volumes So, let's get back to the present day...
  14. Focussing on JK for the moment, let's throw the rest away
  15. Remember I said a resource could represent anything? well, let's use one to represent the author...
  16. Let's get rid of the strings, and just leave the concepts, that makes things look simpler. Now, one of the things that has gone unsaid so far is that something and something else came from monograph records, so we know that they are both books.
  17. dbpedia, geonames (Embrun, France), CIA Factbook, MusicBrainz/Zitgist (Diana Ross), DBLP (Advances in Orthonormalizing Computation.), RDF BookMashup (Weaving the Web), RDF BookMashup
  18. URI is a superset of what we can do with Primary keys
  19. We take the data elements
  20. We take the data elements
  21. Take the algorithms used for lookups Turn them around to make hashes Keep the essence of the natural data Discard syntactic differences If too long (or you like GUIDs) MD5 them.
  22. * Stardust (novel), an illustrated novel by Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess * Stardust (2007 film), the film adaptation of the above book * Stardust (1990 novel), a 1990 novel by Robert B. Parker * Stardust (1974 film), a film about a rock star, starring David Essex. * Stardust (1940 film), a film with Linda Darnell and John Payne * Stardust (game), a shoot 'em up computer game * Stardust (magazine), a popular Indian film magazine
