A world of digital data
Providers
Languages
Licenses
Domains Heterogeneous
Formats

Lack of interoperability: Language, Syntax, Semantic &Technical
• Ecosystem of
- Open Resources in silos
- Complementary domains
- Heterogeneous formats
- Different languages
- Repositories with different
metadata
- Many APIs and services
for querying
Complementary
but
not connected

Linked Data allows uniform access
1. Agree on vocabularies for
describing
• metadata
• domain data
2. Unified and standardized language
for describing resources ( RDF(S))
3. Unified and standardized query
language (SPARQL)
4. Standardized non-proprietary APIs
5. Links to other resources

Questions of the end-user …
- Who generated the data set
- When the dataset was created?
- How the dataset was built?
- Is that dataset the last version?
- Is license information clearly stated?
- Is there any condition that prevents my organization to use the data set?
- In which formats the data are delivered?
- Are data monolingual or multilingual?

Linguistic Linked
Data Cloud
Linguistic Linked Data Cloud
 Subset of LOD
 Linguistic domain
 Many type of resources
 Interconnected with other Language Resources
 Enables the lexicalization of data on the web, not
necessarily data in the LD format
 Helps with Multilingual Search
 Enables a new generation of LD-aware NLP and MT
Services

The core of the Linguistic Linked Open Data cloud!

What is BabelNet?
• A merger of resources of different kinds:

Why do we need BabelNet?
• Multilinguality: the same concept is expressed in tens of
languages
• Coverage: 272 languages and 14 million entries!
- 6M concepts and 7.7M named entities
- 119M word senses
- 378M semantic relations (27 relations per concept on avg.)
- 11M images associated with concepts
- 41M textual definitions
- 2M concepts with domains associated

Modeling in datos.bne.es
Two phases:
1. Re-using URIs: from standard vocabs, mainly IFLA FRBR,
ISBD and FRAD
2. Integrating ontology: BNE ontology that re-uses and links to
external vocabs.
Motivation for the creation of BNE ontology:
- To provide stability under the datos.bne.es domain
- Documented in a central document
- Provide new properties and relationships (e.g., spanish legal
deposit)
- Control over descriptions and labels (e.g., labels for
visualization (bne:label))
- Multilingualism: BNE ontology is described in English and
Spanish
- Content-negotiation enables using programming APIs (Jena,
Sesame, etc.) and Ontology editors (Protégé, TopBraid,
etc.)

From metadata in images to full text

Messages to take home
1. Library Linked Data can be easily integrated in other data (e.g.
geographical, education, etc.)
2. Data providers should include language, provenance and license metadata
in their datasets
• in the original data sources (e.g., MARC21 records)
• tags into RDF (e.g., @es, @ fr at least)
• language URIs in the VOID or DCAT descriptions
• License and provenance information in RDF
3. Benefits of adding language, provenance and license metadata in
datasets
• Reduce the time and cost of identifying language in resources and
terminology
• Foster the aggregation and enrichment of data across complementary
resources
• Enhances data curation
• Improves precision and recall in information retrieval and search
