Linked Open Statistical Metadata (LOSM) is Linked Open Data (LOD) applied to statistical metadata. LOD is a model for identifying, structuring, interlinking, and querying data published directly on the web. It builds on the standards of the semantic web defined by the W3C. LOD uses the Resource Description Framework (RDF), a simple data model expressing content as predicates linking resources between them or with literal properties. The simplicity of the model makes it able to represent any data, including metadata. We define statistical data as data produced through some statistical process or intended for statistical analyses, and statistical metadata as metadata describing statistical data. LOSM promotes discovery and the meaning and structure of statistical data in an automated way. Consequently, it helps with understanding and interpreting data and preventing inadequate or flawed visualizations for statistical data. This enhances statistical literacy and efforts at visualizing statistics.

This chapter will clearly show the need for better mapping techniques for Relational Database (RDB) all the way to Resource Description Framework (RDF). This includes coverage of each data model limitations and benefits for getting better results. Here, each form of data being transform has its own importance in the field of data science. As RDB is well known back end storage for information used to many kinds of applications; especially the web, desktop, remote, embedded, and network-based applications. Whereas, EXtensible Markup Language (XML) in the well-known standard for data for transferring among all computer related resources regardless of their type, shape, place, capability and capacity due to its form is in application understandable form. Finally, semantically enriched and simple of available in Semantic Web is RDF. This comes handy when with the use of linked data to get intelligent inference better and efficient. Multiple Algorithms are built to support this system experiments and proving its true nature of the study.

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a flexible model for representing information about resources in the Web. With the increasing amount of RDF data which is becoming available, efficient and scalable management of RDF data has become a fundamental challenge to achieve the Semantic Web vision. The RDF model has attracted attentions in the database community and many researchers have proposed different solutions to store and query RDF data efficiently. This chapter focuses on using relational query processors to store and query RDF data. It gives an overview of the different approaches and classifies them according to their storage and query evaluation strategies.

Resource Description Framework (RDF) can seen as a solution in today’s landscape of knowledge representation research. An RDF language has symmetrical features because subjects and objects in triples can be interchangeably used. Moreover, the regularity and symmetry of the RDF language allow knowledge representation that is easily processed by machines, and because its structure is similar to natural languages, it is reasonably readable for people. RDF provides some useful features for generalized knowledge representation. Its distributed nature, due to its identifier grounding in IRIs, naturally scales to the size of the Web. However, its use is often hidden from view and is, therefore, one of the less well-known of the knowledge representation frameworks. Therefore, we summarise RDF v1.0 and v1.1 to broaden its audience within the knowledge representation community. This article reviews current approaches, tools, and applications for mapping from relational databases to RDF and from XML to RDF. We discuss RDF serializations, including formats with support for multiple graphs and we analyze RDF compression proposals. Finally, we present a summarized formal definition of RDF 1.1 that provides additional insights into the modeling of reification, blank nodes, and entailments.

Abstract In this paper authors perform a research on possibilities of RDF (Resource Description Framework) syntaxes usage for information representation in Semantic Web. It is described why pure XML cannot be effectively used for this purpose, and how RDF framework solves this problem. Information is being represented in a form of a directed graph. RDF is only an abstract formal model for information representation and side tools are required in order to write down that information. Such tools are RDF syntaxes – concrete text or binary formats, which prescribe rules for RDF data serialization. Text-based RDF syntaxes can be developed on the existing format basis (XML, JSON) or can be an RDF-specific – designed from scratch to serve the only purpose – to serialize RDF graphs. Authors briefly describe some of the RDF syntaxes (both XML and non-XML) and compare them in order to identify strengths and weaknesses of each version. Serialization and deserialization speed tests using Jena library are made. The results from both analytical and experimental parts of this research are used to develop the recommendations for RDF syntaxes usage and to design a RDF/XML syntax subset, which is intended to simplify the development and raise compatibility of information serialized with this RDF syntax.

AbstractThe Semantic Web anticipates integrated access to a large number of information sources on the Internet represented as Resource Description Framework (RDF). Given the large number of websites that are backed by SQL databases, methods that automate the translation of those databases to RDF are crucial. One approach, taken by a number of researchers, is to directly map the SQL schema to an equivalent Web Ontology Language (OWL) or RDF Schema representation, which in turn, implies an RDF representation for the relational data. This paper reviews this research, and derives a consolidated, overarching set of translation rules expressible as a stratified Datalog program. We present all the possible key combinations in an SQL schema and consider their implied semantic properties. We review the approaches and characterize them with respect to the scope of their coverage of SQL constructs.

A presente pesquisa objetiva propor um modelo de dados abertos conectados (linked open data - LOD), para um conjunto de dados abertos legislativos da Câmara dos Deputados. Para tanto, procede-se à revisão de literatura sobre os conceitos de dados abertos, dados abertos governamentais, dados conectados (linked data), e dados abertos conectados (linked open data), seguido de pesquisa aplicada, com a modelagem de dados legislativos no modelo LOD. Para esta pesquisa foi selecionado o conjunto de dados "Deputados", que contém informações como partido político, unidade federativa, e-mail, legislatura, entre outras, sobre os parlamentares. Desse modo, observa-se que a estruturação do conjunto de dados em RDF (Resource Description Framework) é possível com reuso de vocabulários e padrões já estabelecidos na Web Semântica como Dublin Core, Friend of a Friend (FOAF), RDF e RDF Schema, além de vocabulários de áreas correlatas, como a Ontologia da Câmara dos Deputados italiana e a da Assembleia Nacional Francesa. Conforme recomendação do padrão Linked Data, os recursos foram relacionados também a outros conjuntos de LOD para enriquecimento semântico, como as bases Geonames e DBpedia. O estudo que permite concluir que a disponibilização dos dados governamentais, em especial, dados legislativos, pode ser feita seguindo as recomendações da W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) e, assim, integrar os dados legislativos à Web de Dados e ampliar as possibilidades de reuso e aplicações dos dados em ações de transparência e fiscalização, aproximando os cidadãos do Congresso e de seus representantes.
