sameAs

• The semantic web “sameAs” predicate declares two URIs refer to the same entity

• A sameAs B, means triples that refer to A are triples about B and vice versa.

• Person15 wrote PaperX. Person18 wrote PaperY. Person15 sameAs Person18. Therefore Person15 wrote PaperX and PaperY.

• VIVO v1. supports sameAs

Linking Across VIVOs

• Person at School X sameAs Person at School Y• Paper at School X sameAs Paper at School Y• Person at School X works on Concept in

A Consumption ScenarioFind all faculty members whose genetic work is implicated in breast cancer

VIVO will store information about faculty and associate to genes. Diseaseome associates genes to diseases. Query resolves across VIVO and data sources it links to.
