- SN SciGraph Latest Release: Patents, Clinical Trials and many new features
We are pleased to announce the third release of SN SciGraph Linked Open Data. SN SciGraph is Springer Nature’s Linked Data platform that collates information from across the research landscape, i.e. the things, documents, people, places and relations of importance to the science and scholarly domain. This release includes a complete refactoring of the SN […]
- Exploring scholarly publications using DBPedia concepts: an experiment
This post is about a recent prototype I developed, which allows to explore a sample collection of Springer Nature publications using subject tags automatically extracted from DBPedia. DBpedia is a crowd-sourced community effort to extract structured content from the information created in various Wikimedia projects. This structured information resembles an open knowledge graph (OKG) which is available for everyone […]
- SN SciGraph: latest website release make it easier to discover related content
The latest release of SN SciGraph Explorer website includes a number of new features that make it easier to navigate the scholarly knowledge graph and discover items of interest. Graphs are essentially composed by two kinds of objects: nodes and edges. Nodes are like the stations in a train map, while edges are the links that […]
- SN SciGraph is part of the Linked Open Data Cloud 2018
The latest Linked Open Data (LOD) Cloud has been recently made available by the Insights Centre for Data Analytics. The LOD cloud is a visual representation of the datasets (and the links among them) that have been published according to the Linked Data principles – a web-friendly methodology for data sharing that encourages open schemas and data reuse. We’ve very glad to […]
- Exploring SciGraph data using JSON-LD, Elastic Search and Kibana
Hello there data lovers! In this post you can find some information on how to download and make some sense of the scholarly dataset recently made available by the Springer Nature SciGraph project, by using the freely available Elasticsearch suite of software. A few weeks ago the SciGraph dataset was released (full disclosure: I’m part […]
- Recent projects from CrossRef.org
We spent the day with the CrossRef team in Oxford last week, talking about our recent work in the linked data space (see the nature ontologies portal) and their recent initiatives in the scholarly publishing area. So here’s a couple of interesting follow ups from the meeting. ps. If you want to know more about […]
- Nature.com ontologies portal available online
The Nature ontologies portal is new section of the nature.com site that describes our involvement with semantic technologies and also makes available to the wider public several models and datasets as RDF linked data. We launched the portal nearly a month ago, to the purpose of sharing our experiences with semantic technologies and more generally […]
- A few useful Linked Data resources
Done a bit of semantic web work in the last couple of weeks, which gave me a chance to explore better the current web-scenario around this topic. I’m working on some example applications myself, but in the meanwhile I thought I’d share here a couple of quite useful links I ran into. Development Tools: Quick […]
- Survey of Pythonic tools for RDF and Linked Data programming
In this post I’m reporting on a recent survey I made in the context of a Linked Data project I’m working on, SAILS. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a data model and language which is quickly gaining momentum in the open-data and data-integration worlds. In SAILS we’re developing a prototype for rdf-data manipulation and […]
- Roman Port Networks project
The Roman Port Networks Project is a collaboration between 30 European partners, examining the connections between Roman ports across the Mediterranean. The project has received financial support from the British Academy (BASIS) and the University of Southampton (School of Humanities, Department of Archaeology and School of Electronics and Computing Science). From the website (the bold […]
