The Web

Since it was first formally proposed in 1990 (and since the first website was launched in 1991), the World Wide Web has evolved from a collection of linked hypertext documents residing on the Internet, to a "meta-medium" featuring platforms that older media have leveraged to reach their publics through alternative means. However, this pathway towards the modernization of the Web has not been entirely linear, nor will it proceed as such. Accordingly, this paper problematizes the notion of "progress" as it relates to the online realm by illuminating two distinct perspectives on the realized and proposed evolution of the Web, both of which can be grounded in the broader debate concerning technological determinism versus the social construction of technology: on the one hand, the centralized and ontology-driven shift from a human-centred "Web of Documents" to a machine-understandable "Web of Data" or "Semantic Web", which is supported by the Web's inventor, Tim Berners-Lee, and the organization he heads, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C); on the other, the decentralized and folksonomy-driven mechanisms through which individuals and collectives exert control over the online environment (e.g. through the social networking applications that have come to characterize the contemporary period of "Web 2.0"). Methodologically, the above is accomplished through a sustained exploration of theory derived from communication and cultural studies, which discursively weaves these two viewpoints together with a technical history of recent W3C projects. As a case study, it is asserted that the forward slashes contained in a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) were a social construct that was eventually rendered extraneous by the end-user community. By focusing On the context of the technology itself, it is anticipated that this paper will contribute to the broader debate concerning the future of the Web and its need to move beyond a determinant "modernization paradigm" or over-arching ontology, as well as advance the potential connections that can be cultivated with cognate disciplines.

It is the vision of the protagonists of the Semantic Web to achieve “a set of connected applications for data on the Web in such a way as to form a consistent logical Web of data” (Berners-Lee, 1998, p. 1). Therefore, the Semantic Web approach develops languages for expressing information in a machine-processable form (“machine-understandable” in terms of the Semantic Web community). Particularly, the Resource Description Framework, RDF (Lassila & Swick, 1999), and RDF Schema, RDFS (Brickley & Guha, 2000), are considered as the foundations for the implementation of the Semantic Web. RDF provides a data model and a serialization language; RDFS a distinguished vocabulary to model class and property hierarchies and other basic schema primitives that can be referred to from RDF models, thereby allowing for the modeling of object models with cleanly defined semantics. The idea behind this approach is to provide a common minimal framework for the description of Web resources while allowing for application-specific extensions (Berners-Lee, 1998). Such extensions in terms of additional classes and/or properties must be documented in an application-specific schema. Application-specific schemata can be integrated into RDFS by the namespace mechanism (Bray, Hollander & Layman, 1999). Namespaces provide a simple method for qualifying element and attribute names used in RDF documents by associating them with namespaces identified by URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) references (Berners-Lee, Fielding, Irvine & Masinter, 1998).

Abstract As geo-hazard monitoring data increases in category and size, conventional geo-hazard information management systems, without a unified integration framework and visualized data display, are unable to satisfy the urgent needs of geo-hazard information management. Representational State Transfer (REST), a resource-centered service architecture, abstracts data and services into resources for unified Uniform Resource Identifier access, enabling it to take full advantage of HTTP with great flexibility and scalability. Based on the REST service architecture, this paper constructs a 3D geo-hazard monitoring and early warning platform with sound service compatibility and scalability by integrating geographical information, real-time monitoring data, and early warning models into the 3D Digital Earth framework. The platform displays topography, stratum lithology, and relevant information, as well as real-time monitoring data in a 3D visual, and provides early warning services for geo-hazards through access to real-time early warning models. As a result, it is capable of providing comprehensive information management, monitoring, and early warning of multiple geo-hazards, aiding decision-making in disaster prevention and mitigation, and enhancing the information level of geo-hazard prevention and mitigation work.

AGROVOC is the multilingual thesaurus managed and published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Its content is available in more than 40 languages and covers all the FAO’s areas of interest. The structural basis is a resource description framework (RDF) and simple knowledge organization system (SKOS). More than 39,000 concepts identified by a uniform resource identifier (URI) and 800,000 terms are related through a hierarchical system and aligned to knowledge organization systems. This paper aims to illustrate the recent developments in the context of AGROVOC and to present use cases where it has contributed to enhancing the interoperability of data shared by different information systems.

The Semantic Web (SW) may be represented as it is advancement of the web; it is specifically conspired to describe information in a specific manner, which machine can understand easily. In this context the ‘object’ or “resource” derived from web must be a unique as Uniform Resource Identifier (URI). Ontologies are used to establish the relationships between objects. Trust or provenance plays important role in the semantic web. Trust defines the merit by which a user considers authenticity of the documents. Semantic web refers the credibility, reliability and tustability of the data in the given context. It is necessary to observe and differentiate trusted data points from entrusted ones. [8]. User has to take decision regarding selection of the documents based on considering all the parameters of trust, whether given information is reliable or not. The documents available in the web in which users put a new set of problems every time and need to obtain the solution exactly trustworthy.

Resource Description

We examine how the conceptual model of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records is related to the notion of documentary unit attributed to Otlet and present in the Traité de Documentation, whose principles are applied to support the foundations of the Universal Bibliographic Repertory. In theoretical and methodological terms, this is an exploratory research with a historical and documentary nature that seeks to ascertain the classical assumptions of representation and organization of information and relate them to the context of the Semantic Web. We analyze the results of simulations of the application of the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records carried out in Acesso Livre à Informação Científica of Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária to illustrate how Otlet's theses are applied to these digital bibliographies. We discuss the advantages of repositories for the modeling processes since the Dublin Core format allows the use of languages such as the Resource Description Framework for the description of metadata, which enhances information retrieval. We conclude by demonstrating how the principles of monograph, continuity and plurality are expressed in the entities in Group I of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records conceptual model, which reveals methodological affinities between the model and Otlet's theses. We point out that actions directed towards encouraging the description of bibliographic metadata in Resource Description Framework statements will, in the near future, allow each resource to be identified in a meaningful way through a universal identifier - Uniform Resource Identifier -, allowing the database records to be interconnected and access to the user to a huge amount of stored information, as stated by Otlet when developing the Universal Bibliographic Repertory.
