Semantic Web Technologies and Legal Scholarly Publishing
No full textThis work deals with the applications of Semantic Publishing technologies in the legal domain, i.e., the use of Semantic Web technologies to address issues related to the Legal Scholarly Publishing. Research in the field of Law has a long tradition in the application of semantic technologies, such as Semantic Web and Linked Data, to real-world scenarios. This book investigates and proposes solutions for three main issues that Semantic Publishing needs to address within the context of the Legal Scholarly Publishing: the need of tools for linking document text to a formal representation of its meaning; the lack of complete metadata schemas for describing documents according to the publishing vocabulary and the absence of effective tools and user interfaces for easily acting on semantic publishing models and theories.
In particular, this work introduces EARMARK, a markup meta language that allows one to create markup documents without the structural and semantic limits imposed by markup languages such as XML. EARMARK is a platform to link the content layer of a document with its intended formal semantics and it can be used with the Semantic Publishing and Referencing (SPAR) Ontologies, another topic in this book. SPAR Ontologies are a collection of formal models providing an upper semantic layer for describing the publishing domain. Using EARMARK as a foundation for SPAR descriptions opens up to a semantic characterisation of all the aspects of a document and of its parts. Finally, four user-friendly tools are introduced: LODE, KC-Viz, Graffoo and Gaffe. They were expressly developed to facilitate the interaction of publishers and domain experts with Semantic Publishing technologies by shielding such users from the underlying formalisms and semantic models of such technologies
GraspOS: next Generation Research Assessment to Promote Open Science
No full textOpen science (OS) has proven to provide several benefits to scientific research and collaboration. The EU-funded GraspOS project will further extend the reach and influence of OS. Specifically, it will develop a data infrastructure that will help policy reforms and bring about the adoption of a responsible research assessment system that embeds OS practices. Additionally, the project will create the necessary tools to expand the reach of the European Open Science Cloud ecosystem and improve monitoring services. These services will also allow for policy-level rewards that encourage OS practices and mindsets
A simplified agile methodology for ontology development
No full textIn this paper we introduce SAMOD, a.k.a. Simplified Agile Methodology for Ontology Development, a novel agile methodology for the development of ontologies by means of small steps of an iterative workflow that focuses on creating well-developed and documented models starting from exemplar domain descriptions. In addition, we discuss the results of an experiment where we asked nine people (with no or limited expertise in Semantic Web technologies and Ontology Engineering) to use SAMOD for developing a small ontology
Automating semantic publishing
No full textSemantic Publishing involves the use of Web and Semantic Web technologies and standards for the semantic enhancement of a scholarly work so as to improve its discoverability, interactivity, openness and (re-)usability for both humans and machines. Recently, people have suggested that the semantic enhancements of a scholarly work should be undertaken by the authors of that scholarly work, and should be considered as integral parts of the contribution subjected to peer review. However, this requires that the authors should spend additional time and effort adding such semantic annotations, time that they usually do not have available. Thus, the most pragmatic way to facilitate this additional task is to use automated services that create the semantic annotation of authors’ scholarly articles by parsing the content that they have already written, thus reducing the additional time required of the authors to that for checking and validating these semantic annotations. In this article, I propose a generic approach called compositional and iterative semantic enhancement (CISE) that enables the automatic enhancement of scholarly papers with additional semantic annotations in a way that is independent of the markup used for storing scholarly articles and the natural language used for writing their content
Approaching Digital Humanities at university: A cultural challenge
Full text linkThe University of Bologna has a long tradition in Digital Humanities, both at the level of research and teaching. This article presents some experiences in developing new educational models based on the idea of transversal learning, collaborative approaches and project-oriented outputs, together with the definition of research fields within this vast domain, accompanied by practical examples. The creation of an international master’s degree (DHDK), a PhD programme (CHeDE) and a research centre (/DH.arc) are the results of refining the notion of the DH in a new bidirectional way: to reflect on computational methodologies and models in the cultural sphere and to suggest a cultural approach to Information Technology (IT)
The Information Realization Pattern
No full textThis chapter presents some ontology design patterns to formally rep- resent Information Entities (IE). IE include, e.g., words, sentences, documents, movies, pictures, paintings, performances, software pro- grams, concepts, etc
A quantitative and qualitative open citation analysis of retracted articles in the humanities
Full text linkIn this article, we show and discuss the results of a quantitative and
qualitative analysis of open citations to retracted publications in the
humanities domain. Our study was conducted by selecting retracted papers in the
humanities domain and marking their main characteristics (e.g., retraction
reason). Then, we gathered the citing entities and annotated their basic
metadata (e.g., title, venue, subject, etc.) and the characteristics of their
in-text citations (e.g., intent, sentiment, etc.). Using these data, we
performed a quantitative and qualitative study of retractions in the
humanities, presenting descriptive statistics and a topic modeling analysis of
the citing entities' abstracts and the in-text citation contexts. As part of
our main findings, we noticed that there was no drop in the overall number of
citations after the year of retraction, with few entities which have either
mentioned the retraction or expressed a negative sentiment toward the cited
publication. In addition, on several occasions, we noticed a higher
concern/awareness when it was about citing a retracted publication, by the
citing entities belonging to the health sciences domain, if compared to the
humanities and the social science domains. Philosophy, arts, and history are
the humanities areas that showed the higher concern toward the retraction
