“Improve research opportunities and outcomes through linking distributed digital source materials of many kinds”
http://www.dariah.eu/
� For contributorsTo give visibility to their contributions
� For researchersTo give them tools to find relevant information
Objectives
2
� Who are experts on Open Archive?� Who offers a PID service?� Who works on Alexandrian pottery, 2nd century B.C.?� What are the available collections on archeology?� What is the procedure to obtain the DSA?� What are the recommended formats for images? � What are the Dutch contributions?� Is Jean-Luc Minel involved in Dariah?� Is the INA (Institut national de l’audiovisuel) involved in
Dariah?� Which European projects are related to Dariah?� etc.
What could be relevant questions?
3
� To deal with decentralized dataEach contributor is responsible for the description of his contribution
Each country is responsible for gathering and displaying the contributions
� To use standard toolsTo use languages of the Semantic Web (RDF, SPARQL)
� To exploit Linked Open Data possibilitiesTo use existing data from other repositories
� Low cost and time investment

Answering relevant questions
PID assigned by ISIDORE if necessary
Automatic enrichments using thesaurus and skos relations10
A very smart HCI

Some milestones
� How long to make annotations using RDFA ?
� Between 15 or 30 mn by contributions (depending on who make it and the accuracy of the metadata)
� How long to develop a crawler ?
� No need to develop a crawler. ISIDORE exists and is available (French contribution in Dariah). Of course, it is possible to use another crawler.
� How long to build a triplestore?
� Few hours using a private or public data center. It is not required that each country builds a Tstore.
� How long to develop simple HCI ?
� One day by an agile digital humanist. Of course, HCI can be share18
Flexibility and Responsibility/Best practices
� Dariah.eu can display all contributions on its website
AND
� All partners can display and expand all their contributions with their own choices (VIAF, IDREF, Geonames, Pactols, etc.) and with their own interfaces
***
� As all partners describe and expand their contributions, they are responsible for their visibility... which is also a best practice
19
Some issues
� Contributions in English
� “Standardisation” of the description of the contributions (proposition of a template)
� Choice of vocabularies
Dcterms, foaf, skos, bibo
� Taxonomies, ontologies and thesauri
Ex.: NeDiMAH ontology, Rameau, Geonames, etc.
Existing, simple and but not perfect!
20
Some issues
Linked DataHow to exploit data from other triplestores?Which ones ?
Social Network?
21
In a nutshell
� Each partner manages its contributions and displays them on a webpage of a website� Each webpage is annotated with RDFa, following some
guidelines (using common tags and vocabularies)
� Dariah.eu (and/or Dariah.Anycountry) harvests these websites regularly and puts all the harvested data in a triplestore
� Dariah.eu and/or Dariah.Anycountry offer simple tools to peruse all these data
� Anyone can search in the triplestore using Sparql queries
� Visibility, simplicity, interoperability
