Tangential. There was a recent good HN discussion on sequence diagrams: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36342931
Recently when checking out #GaiaX Federated Catalogues (a #LinkedData spec totally unrelated to #Fediverse) I noted their use of #BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) - an OMG open standard - as a possible interesting way to diagram behavioral aspects of #ActivityPub extensions.
LinkedData is one of the technologies used in the protocols underlying the fediverse. But what about in the content being sent around? This FediForum session today covered it:
Linked Data content in ActivityPub (and anything else semantic)
Wanting to manage and publish #sensor and #observational data then we’d love to chat - we’ve extensive experience in publishing such data at scale with previous projects with clients such as UKCEH, the Environment Agency and others plus our own Agora measurement store technology.
See: https://www.epimorphics.com/projects for more on those projects.

Another #FediForum session today:
Adding semantics to social networks (i.e. Linked Data in ActvitiyPub)
Notes will published after #FediForum is over at https://fediforum.org
#ExplainableAI for #LLM systems whether chatbots or backend components is very important for trustworthiness and debugging.
One of the most effective ways to do it is to make the chatbot refer to sources of facts. Tag every RAG document partial with an anchor, and tell the chatbot refer to them. Then you can show in a final presentation a link to the document part used.
In a document index you similarly want to include metadata for partials, so that a user can click "show the whole document" and navigate the information if they want to see where the content came from.
It's all very well explainable but requires a bit of work in #KnowledgeEngineering and #LinkedData.
Calling on to #SemanticWeb #LinkedData and the knowledgeable folks alike for hints: how is the subjective nature of knowledge addressed in building knowledge graphs? Where are these questions being answered or probed?
Subjectivity seem to be less relevant in the applications having a narrow user base (e.g. a single company). Though it's more interesting in case of e.g. Wikidata corpus, where a subjective aspects might vary a lot and impact how the data is interpreted (culture, trust...).
Tips?
#ThisWeek we’ve:
- Had some really interesting deep dives in some client workshops,
- Completed some client project interviews,
- Completed a development sprint on one of our projects and,
- We’ve been highlighting last weeks #Hydrology #API blog post as we also encourage users of the service to let us know how they use it.

What are people using RDF for? This is not a rhetorical question, I'm curious to know what is your life if work, if you are using RDF at work.
Something about naively parsing JSON-LD like regular JSON feels a little off #JSONLD #LinkedData #LD #OpenData
As a JSON-LD noob, I think this is what JSON-LD is trying to solve:
- maintain consistency on what data represents what
- provide a specification what document belongs to what set of objects (via @`type`)
- provide a specification on how documents are related to other documents (via @`id`)
But I might be wrong.
I'm thinking out loud because I'm trying to figure out how to make sense of JSON-LD

I guess by starting talking (or rather writing a question in the Google Doc) about Linked Open Usable Data #LOUD - that is now very much tied to #LinkedArt and #IIIF (https://linked.art/loud) - in the #Pelagios session, lots of very interesting points have then been discussed around what defines it (API, Community-led). ping @azaroth42

This Wednesday evening at #DH2023 I am going to be standing next to our poster titled "Enabling Participatory Data Perspectives for Image Archives through a Linked Art Workflow".
The basis of this poster is a collaboration with the @uniofoxford and more specifically with Tanya Gray, Alwyn Collinson, & Kevin R. Page who designed a Python-based three-step workflow that can generate JSON-LD #LinkedArt resources.
The goal is to expose those resources later as a RESTful API as a means of conveying semantically enriched events and as a benchmark against other collections leveraging this model alongside our existing #IIIF APIs and our basic metadata API within the PIA research project. #loud #LinkedData #pia_sinergia

@J12t ,
Sets up stage for understanding and appreciating the semantics associated with entity identifiers.
For instance, you ultimately end up with an entity relationship graph comprising a variety of handles that denote the same entity.
In a #SemanticWeb this is ground-zero, since relationship type semantics exist for this kind of identity reconciliation 😀
A friendly reminder that you can still complete the "Characterising the #IIIF and #LinkedArt communities" survey that I am doing for my PhD. --> https://forms.gle/Djvuf7HrrFqxXFxd8
Please fill in the survey if you are involved in either of these communities or if you have heard of those communities but aren't (yet) involved. 😃
#LOUD #LinkedData #culturalheritage #GLAM #CIDOCCRM
@J12t "JSON-LD has benefits that have nothing to do with semantic web stuff, such as namespacing."
The following is ground-zero fora #SemanticWeb constructed from structured data deployed using #LinkedData principles.
## JSON LD Start ##
{
"@context": "https://schema.org/",
"@type": "Person",
"name": "John Smith",
"jobTitle": "Software Engineer",
"telephone": "(123) 456-7890",
"url": "https://www.example.com",
"sameAs": [
"https://mastodon.social/@jsmith"
]
}
## JSON LD End ##
@bobwyman @J12t Yes, a #SemanticWeb user-agent can handle that.
For example, the sponger #middleware module of our #VirtuosoRDBMS can do that.
Re Prospective Search, the focal point is variables in the body of a #SPARQL query that satisfy conditions expressed in relations.
A query solution can always optionally include document identifiers (a/k/a named graphs).
Example: https://tinyurl.com/4kwzvu28
@bobwyman @J12t The hashtag #LinkedData is denoted by the link https://mastodon.social/tags/linkeddata.
Add .rss to that link and you have:
https://mastodon.social/tags/linkeddata.rss -- and #RSS doc.
Semantically, the following holds true (albeit currently missing from the <head/> section) of https://mastodon.social/tags/linkeddata.
{
<https://mastodon.social/tags/linkeddata> xhv:alternate <https://mastodon.social/tags/linkeddata.rss>
}
Here's a very basic sponge (crawl) of content associated with #LinkedData from across Mastodon.
https://linkeddata.uriburner.com/about/html/https://mastodon.social/tags/linkeddata.rss
@bobwyman @J12t In addition, here are links to posts about the #VirtuosoRDBMS sponger module (our #SemanticWeb crawler) .
[1] https://medium.com/virtuoso-blog/what-is-the-virtuoso-sponger-middleware-about-and-why-is-it-important-293546b32a32 -- #VirtuosoRDBMS sponger (crawler) overview
This technology can crawl and merge data across links that denote hashtags across Mastodon instances, Twitter etc.. What it can't do is construct a canonical solution from an infinite universe of unknowns.
@bobwyman @J12t Prospective Search [1], is something that can be handled in a #SemanticWeb because the semantics of links (used to construct said #Web) enable a crawler to be fashioned within constrains (e.g., timeouts) while being informed navigationally by the semantics of relations denoted by links, courtesy of #LinkedData principles.
The above can happen within the context of a query or as an ETL-style background crawl.
Der #BullingerBriefderWoche stammt heute von Jakob Meyer aus #Basel und wurde am 8. März 1538, also vor 485 Jahren in Frühneuhochdeutsch verfasst. Der Zeitstrahl zeigt, dass Bullinger und Meyer sporadisch zwischen 1532 und 1539 in Kontakt standen. #digitalhumanities Zu Meyer findet sich nicht viel, aber sein Sohn (nehme ich mal an) hat eine Seite auf Wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Meyer_(Theologe) Es wäre doch interessant, wenn es gelänge, diese Informationen zu verknüpfen. #LinkedData Meyers Grossvater wahr denn auch Bürgermeister von Basel & ein Unterstützer des Basler Reformators #Oekolampad, von welchem wir ebenfalls einen Brief in der Bullinger-Korrespondenz finden: https://bullinger-digital.ch/letter/10063. Zum Meyer-Geschlecht gibt es auch einen Artikel auf e-periodica: https://e-periodica.ch/digbib/view?pid=bzg-002:1925:23#110 Wir müssen diese Daten vernetzen!
I don’t know how any crawler solves the problem as described .
If I am interested in #LinkedData across instances that l encounter explicitly or serendipitously, our crawler can follow objects of owl:sameAs relations to wherever they lead, as part of a *timeout* constrained query solution pipeline or an explicit ETL-based crawl job .
The difference from conventional crawling boils down to an operation informed by the semantics of an owl:sameAs relation.
/cc @J12t
@bobwyman @J12t Query solution informed by inference can include crawling a #SemanticWeb as part of a query solution production pipeline, I've been demonstrating that for eons now.
Crawling a #SemanticWeb is a different kind of crawl informed by the semantics of relations denoted by hyperlinks, courtesy of #LinkedData principles 😀
I have written a slightly rambling #blogpost about building my band's new website https://sam.pikesley.org/blog/2023/02/18/massively-over-engineering-a-static-website/
@Edent @aslakr With JSON-LD contexts becoming ubiquitous due to their SEO capabilities and search engine integration, there’s hope JSON-LD can serve as a replacement for Open Graph.
JSON-LD has the benefit of being maintained by W3C, being an open standard, having significant amount of momentum, and serving a plethora of different use-cases, many of which haven’t been invented yet.

I would love to see one linked data tool that isn't wikidata that a) tells me what it does, b) shows me a demo, c) lets me use it without having to read a whole book or compile some ancient blob of Java
ok so re-reading #IPFS paper and there are a few things I think in retrospect are undesirable about the #MerkelDAG spec. it's hard to parse them out as separable ideas because they depend on one another, but the main thing I think is how it conflates the structure of a metadata graph, the content of the graph, and the notion of authorship/identity.
In (basic) IPFS, each node contains some data and some links. the data is some unspecified binary blob, the links are all references to hashes of other nodes, and then the hash of all that identifies the node. There are some abstractions like flattened trees that can represent n-depth links, but that's the gist. I'm refreshing myself, so correct me where I'm wrong.
This makes traversing the graph expensive from a naive (cacheless) state- you have to fetch each node and parse its links serially, and since there isn't a notion of authorship except when used to sign a node, you might have to do the resolution process across a lot of the network instead of being able to say "ah ok this is from this identity so I should ask their neighborhood first"
Since the links are untyped, and because of the need for serial resolution, you can't really "plan" queries and move the query logic to the "edges" (in a networking, rather than graph parlance) of the network - the network resolution logic handles all that.
This structure also makes it so you can't "talk about" a node. A node contains its links. The links are directional, so I could make some statement about a node by pointing to it, but I can't, as a third party make a link under my identity, separate from the author and content of the node, that points from some object to another. That makes the network more like a hard drive than a social space.
Further, since links aren't typed, you have to move that metadata inside the node. This makes you need to re-hash each node more than you need to, and since "keys" for identifying different fields in the node aren't themselves links, you can't have any notion of "schema" where a term can be reused. So there isn't really a facility for being able to do graph queries like "find me this type of data whose field has this value" which restricts a whole huge range of possibilities too long to list here. This also makes knowing what the binary data inside a node is potentially impossible without out of band info, depending on how it's encoded. #IPLD and #Multiformats are intended to solve this, post-hoc.
I'll stop there for now, and save what I think could be a different model for later, but I am thinking along the lines of merging with #LinkedData #Triplets , encoding the notion of authorship into links (so that links can have an "utterance" rather than "fact" ontological status), a notion of container/contained for explicit block formation and metadata separation, and formalizing the notion of orthogonal Merkel DAGs to change the points where the content addressing happens to be able to have "graph subunits" that allow for cycles at a "complete" scope but for the purposes of hashing have no cycles. very much #WIP, still at conceptual stage haven't started writing spec yet.
For #ActivityPub you can arguably say that that also sort of applies.
Anyway, I don't have very strong opinion on whether or not AP should be a #LinkedData standard or not.
What I do know is that LD has this eternal struggle to gain adoption, and in the areas where its power lies, its complexity comes peeking around the corner. Making it very unloved in the broader developer community.
In theory LD is fabulous, leading to a magical wonderful semantic web, and in practice.. 🤔
In the context of responding to @helge #FEP proposal I bumped into a paper by Samuel M. Smith about the role of #LinkedData wrt the #W3C #VerifiableCredentials spec and thought about your earlier musings when exploring #ActivityPub and how #JSONSchema might have been used.
Sam's TL;DR is:
> The VC standard appears to be an adoption vector for Linked Data, not the other way around.
Might find it an interesting read:

And he claims the same applies to W3C #DID.
