A Linked Data Platform adapter for the Bugzilla issue tracker
The W3C Linked Data Platform (LDP) specification defines
a standard HTTP-based protocol for read/write Linked Data and pro-
vides the basis for application integration using Linked Data. This paper
presents an LDP adapter for the Bugzilla issue tracker and demonstrates
how to use the LDP protocol to expose a traditional application as a
read/write Linked Data application. This approach provides a
exible
LDP adoption strategy with minimal changes to existing applications
morph-LDP: an R2RML-based Linked Data Platform implementation
The W3C Linked Data Platform (LDP) candidate recom-
mendation defines a standard HTTP-based protocol for read/write Linked
Data. The W3C R2RML recommendation defines a language to map re-
lational databases (RDBs) and RDF. This paper presents morph-LDP,
a novel system that combines these two W3C standardization initiatives
to expose relational data as read/write Linked Data for LDP-aware ap-
plications, whilst allowing legacy applications to continue using their
relational databases
Interoperability and FAIRness through a novel combination of Web technologies
Data in the life sciences are extremely diverse and are stored in a broad spectrum of repositories ranging from those designed for particular data types (such as KEGG for pathway data or UniProt for protein data) to those that are general-purpose (such as FigShare, Zenodo, Dataverse or EUDAT). These data have widely different levels of sensitivity and security considerations. For example, clinical observations about genetic mutations in patients are highly sensitive, while observations of species diversity are generally not. The lack of uniformity in data models from one repository to another, and in the richness and availability of metadata descriptions, makes integration and analysis of these data a manual, time-consuming task with no scalability. Here we explore a set of resource-oriented Web design patterns for data discovery, accessibility, transformation, and integration that can be implemented by any general- or special-purpose repository as a means to assist users in finding and reusing their data holdings. We show that by using off-the-shelf technologies, interoperability can be achieved atthe level of an individual spreadsheet cell. We note that the behaviours of this architecture compare favourably to the desiderata defined by the FAIR Data Principles, and can therefore represent an exemplar implementation of those principles. The proposed interoperability design patterns may be used to improve discovery and integration of both new and legacy data, maximizing the utility of all scholarly outputs
Improving lifecycle query in integrated toolchains using linked data and MQTT-based data warehousing
The development of increasingly complex IoT systems requires large
engineering environments. These environments generally consist of tools from
different vendors and are not necessarily integrated well with each other. In
order to automate various analyses, queries across resources from multiple
tools have to be executed in parallel to the engineering activities. In this
paper, we identify the necessary requirements on such a query capability and
evaluate different architectures according to these requirements. We propose an
improved lifecycle query architecture, which builds upon the existing Tracked
Resource Set (TRS) protocol, and complements it with the MQTT messaging
protocol in order to allow the data in the warehouse to be kept updated in
real-time. As part of the case study focusing on the development of an IoT
automated warehouse, this architecture was implemented for a toolchain
integrated using RESTful microservices and linked data.Comment: 12 pages, worksho
Young People’s Workforce Reform Programme : evaluation report
"The Children's Workforce Development Council (CWDC) commissioned Ecorys and H.J. Giller & Associates to independently evaluate the 2008–2011 Young People's Workforce Reform Programme (YPWRP). The YPWRP was introduced in 2008 as part of a ten year government strategy to help develop help develop a more skilled, confident workforce able to work in an effective and integrated way to deliver the best possible outcomes for young people. The main evaluation methodology used was semi-structured interviews with stakeholders, supplemented by telephone surveys and a small number of focus groups and event observations. Desk review of programme information was also undertaken. This summary assesses the main YPWRP strands and workstreams along with its cross cutting themes of communications and data collation in light of intended outcomes. It concludes by assessing the outcomes of the programme overall." - page iv
