Abstract

El artículo revisa los temas principales en la preservación y reuso de los datos de investigación (beneficios, ciclo de vida, proyectos, normativas, etc.) e identifica la falta de un registro mundial de bancos, repositorios y bibliotecas de datos. Expone la creación de una herramienta web que recoja este tipo de depósitos y los clasifique por áreas disciplinares: ODiSEA, International Registry on Research Data. Ofrece resultados sobre número y tipología temática de este tipo de depósitos a escala mundial. Esta aportación facilita el descubrimiento de nuevos conjuntos de datos cuya recombinación, desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar, fomentará la innovación y la rentabilidad de la inversión en ciencia.This paper reviews the main issues in the preservation and reuse of research data (including benefits, life cycle, projects and regulations) and identifies the lack of a world register of data banks, repositories and libraries. It describes the creation of a web tool that lists these kinds of data stores and classifies them by field. This tool is called the International Registry on Research Data (ODiSEA) and it describes the number of data stores worldwide and the topics they cover. The registry makes it easier to discover new data sets, which can be recombined from a multidisciplinary perspective to promote innovation and increase returns on science investments.

Abstract

Objectiu. Descriure i avaluar l'ús en la Wikipedia d'enllaços a les col·leccions digitalitzades en biblioteques, arxius i altres institucions culturals. -- Metodologia. L'estudi es fa sobre la totalitat dels articles de les edicions en espanyol i català de la Wikipedia, utilitzant una eina d'anàlisi de wikis. Es fa una selecció àmplia de 81 col·leccions digitals espanyoles de diferent abast. També s'agafen dades d'altres projectes de digitalització per poder comparar els resultats. -- Resultats. Es mostra una presència encara feble d'enllaços des de la Wikipedia, excepte per a la Biblioteca Virtual Miguel de Cervantes, les magnituds de la qual són sensiblement diferents. Algunes col.leccion especialitzades són més usades, però en general s'aprecia una falta d'atenció cap a aquestes col·leccions des del col·lectiu d'editors de la Wikipedia, la qual cosa s'hauria de tenir en compte en el desenvolupament dels projectes de digitalització tipus Europeana.Objectives. To describe and evaluate the use of Wikipedia links to digitized collections held in libraries, archives and other cultural institutions. -- Methodology. The study examines all the articles included in the Spanish and Catalan versions of Wikipedia, using a wiki analysis tool. A broad selection of 81 Spanish digital collections of varying sizes is then made. Data are taken from other digitization projects for a comparison of results. -- Results. The use of links from Wikipedia remains relatively unexploited, with the exception of those to the Miguel de Cervantes Digital Library, where the scale of use is markedly greater. Some specialized collections are more frequently used, but in general there is a lack of attention paid to these collections by the team of Wikipedia editors. This needs to be taken into account in the development of digitization projects in line with the Europeana portal.

4. Proposal for the integration of the semantic structure of Wikipedia categories into Wikidata using SKOS

Abstract

DBpedia is the most prominent dataset in Linked Open Data ecosystem. Wikidata is a Wikimedia movement initiative to represent knowledge as data, structured, defined and maintained collaboratively. Both are cross-domain Open Knowledge Graphs. WikiData is intended to change the way in which data is used by the Wikimedia editors, and it will probably have influence in how DBpedia data is collected. So, improving the semantic of Wikipedia Categories in Wikidata will have a deep impact in Knowledge Organization. In this work we propose a methodology for the SKOS integration into de WikiData data model of the Wikipedia Category semantic structure. An analytic comparative report of how Wikipedia categories are treated in DBpedia and WikiData is conducted, including not only the terms itself, but also their relationships and correspondences. Equivalence patterns between the objects or entities of the three sources - Wikipedia, DBpedia and Wikidata - are identified. Other content elements, such as articles, participation records or external links are also take in consideration. Then, keeping in mind the autodescriptive nature of WikiData infrastructure a set of entities and properties that allow the use of SKOS to represent semantic relationships are suggested. Last, we have designed and tested a methodology for the automatic design of an automatic process of reuse of semantic representation of semantic relations in Dbpedia. The proposal details the SKOS properties and classes that should be included as WikiData entities, in order to represent categories semantic relationships and its mappings and cross-references with other SKOS datasets. Technical advice of how obtain and adapt DBpedia categories RDF statements in order to be incorporated in WikiData is exposed. This methodology, whose results are a kind of alignment between DBpedia and WikiData categories, is built upon the matching between their different representations. A bunch of tasks, procedures and tools are developed, that allow manage not only concepts, but also SKOS labels and semantic relationships existing in Dbpedia. Adding semantic relationships of Wikipedia categories in Wikidata is viable, and DBpedia is a worthy tool for do this. Including semantic relationships in Wikidata improve its quality as a Knowledge Organization resource. Wikidata categories, whose source is Wikipedia, may be used as an element to align thesauri, subject headings, taxonomies, etc. Due this reason, apply SKOS in category representation could be the first step for Wikidata not only to be a factual database, but also a knowledge organization platform.

5. A Conceptual model for an OWL ontology to represent the knowledge of transmedia storytelling

L. Information technology and library technology
Abstract

This paper proposes a conceptual model and an OWL ontology for the representation and knowledge organization of transmedia narratives and the creation of RDF datasets. The authors have adopted an approach based on the development of a flexible conceptual model for the management and representation of information accessible in a network environment. The conceptual model identifies a series of entities, attributes and relationships to describe, organize and interrelate the knowledge of transmedia contents. From the conceptual model an OWL ontology has been developed in which SKOS has been widely used in the ontology to separate the conceptual description of resources. The conceptual model allows the design of architectures for the consumption of contents and the ontology offers a first conceptual level for the organization of knowledge of transmedia narratives.

Abstract

Wikipedia came into being in cyberspace. Its early years were marked by asynchronous work by users located all over the world who hardly ever related on a personal level outside the net. With time, some of the volunteers met at what were called wikimeetups, encounters initially aimed at tightening bonds which did not bring about any direct improvement to the project content. Face-to-face initiatives later took place that involved not just volunteers but also cultural entities. The most recent event and the one with the greatest impact was Wiki Loves Monuments 2011, a competition to photograph monuments in 18 European countries, including Spain. The high level of participation led to 160,000 photographs of monuments being taken, with Spain occupying the third place in terms of number of photographs. In this paper we explore the origins, implementation, development and results of Wiki Loves Monuments. The success of the 2011 edition and requests from other countries has led to organization of Wiki Loves Monuments 2012, which will be held at the global level.

Abstract

A guide for Wikipedia student edition as a collaborative active learning activity is presented. Whereas the use of wikis in the classroom is widely documented, the educational possibilities of Wikipedia itself are not so much. We offer a classification of participatory activities suitable for being carried out by the students in the development of the curricular contents. One of the most relevant aspects is the transformation of the critical and distrustful speech towards the Wikipedia in a direct knowledge of its scope, process of production and systems of quality control. In addition, it is a good opportunity to improve a widespread source of information among university undergraduates that has a real impact and for the students to develop a more critical and active use of information sources.

Abstract

Having observed the progress of museums in the computerization of collections, the author warns about the need to ensure that the cataloguing efforts adopt appropriate technological solutions to produce value on Web 2.0. Metadata should be able to define complex cultural objects much more broadly than the simple description of a single piece or monument. Context and environment information should be added. Formal description processes should not be limited to inside the museum.

FB. Marketing.
Abstract

Nowadays libraries are increasingly refactoring their services and dynamics, but these acts of popularisation and promotion in the era of communication, the semantic web and the cultural spectacle are situated in an ambivalent context, somewhere between atonality and adherence. With regards to the information overload and the rushed leisure we live in, the library defends its own differential values, which provide balance, nuances, and system. Library life is certainly not newsworthy, but together they generate social capital. The unstoppable modernisation of libraries also involves that their achievements be visible, and that they be incorporated into the complex conglomerate of perceptions which inform public opinion and public agendas. The librarian community is walking the path towards its inclusion into the constant murmur of media, and the permanence of its voice in the opinion and decision fora.
