“…There is no denying that when we adopt a more analytic approach and attempt describing, in any detail, semantic relationships expressed in photograph descriptions we quickly find ourselves explaining linguistic phenomenon. Recent trends in LIS show movement in this direction, formalizing relationships as objects of study and examining their symbolic representation and inference in knowledge organization (Benson, 2011a, b;Green, 2008); classifying web terms into thesauri relationships (Milonas, 2012); surveying attempts to classify relationships (Szostak, 2012); examining how relationships are represented in FRBR (Arsenault and Noruzi, 2012;Picco and Repiso, 2012); how FRBR can be used to define and clarify relationships in knowledge organization systems (Žumer et al, 2012); and mapping FRBR's bibliographic relationships to Tillett's taxonomy of bibliographic relationships .…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to survey the treatment of relationships, relationship expressions and the ways in which they manifest themselves in image descriptions. Design/methodology/approach – The term “relationship” is construed in the broadest possible way to include spatial relationships (“to the right of”), temporal (“in 1936,” “at noon”), meronymic (“part of”), and attributive (“has color,” “has dimension”). The intentions of these vaguely delimited categories with image information, image creation, and description in libraries and archives is complex and in need of explanation. Findings – The review brings into question many generally held beliefs about the relationship problem such as the belief that the semantics of relationships are somehow embedded in the relationship term itself and that image search and retrieval solutions can be found through refinement of word-matching systems. Originality/value – This review has no hope of systematically examining all evidence in all disciplines pertaining to this topic. It instead focusses on a general description of a theoretical treatment in Library and Information Science.

“…Tillett in her taxonomy often uses the bibliographic item term to describe the participants in a relationship. This term is not used in the list below, but it has been replaced by the FRBR/RDA entities, which may participate in each one of these relationships (IFLA Study Group on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records, 2009; IFLA Working Group on Functional Requirements and Numbering of Authority Records (FRANAR), 2013; Picco & Ortiz Repiso, 2012). Tillett identified the following seven types of bibliographic relationships (Tillett, 1987), which are also depicted in Figure 2:5 with different colors to denote if they refer to content or structure: It must be noted that the treatment of literal translations as derivations of the same Work is a common approach in libraries, known as "realization approach".…”

“…Legacy cataloging-generated implicit representations of families using uniform-titles have been proved as inadequate (Carlyle, Ranger, & Summerlin, 2008;. Their explicit representation will ensure that bibliographic data may transcend the limits of flat bibliographic records and closed library catalogs, and that they may interact with third-party data openly available through the Web (Coyle, 2010a;Picco & Ortiz Repiso, 2012). Thus, the vision of a library linked data universe may become real, where researchers and web users will be able to easily navigate through bibliographic data using families and relationships as linking mechanisms.…”

Οι τεχνολογίες Σημασιολογικού Ιστού (ΣΙ) επιτρέπουν την κατανόηση δεδομένων από μηχανικά συστήματα και την απόδοση δομής, νοήματος και αξιοπιστίας στον υπάρχοντα Παγκόσμιο Ιστό. Τα Συνδεδεμένα Δεδομένα (ΣΔ) αποτελούν ένα επιπλέον βήμα επιτρέποντας τη διασύνδεση των μηχανικά κατανοητών δεδομένων. Σήμερα οι βιβλιογραφικές οντότητες μοντελοποιούνται εκ νέου βάσει των τεχνολογιών ΣΙ/ΣΔ. Ωστόσο, παρατηρείται μια πληθώρα βιβλιογραφικών μοντέλων με σημαντικές διαφορές μεταξύ τους όσον αφορά στον αριθμό των οντοτήτων και των βιβλιογραφικών σχέσεων που ορίζουν. Υπάρχοντα σύνολα βιβλιογραφικών ΣΔ που έχουν χρησιμοποιήσει αυτά τα μοντέλα παρουσιάζουν επίσης σημαντικές διαφοροποιήσεις. Έτσι, αν και χρησιμοποιούνται τεχνολογίες ΣΔ, η κατανόηση των δεδομένων δεν εξασφαλίζεται. Αυτό αποτελεί ζήτημα σημασιολογικής διαλειτουργικότητας η επίλυση της οποίας είναι απαραίτητη για την αποφυγή ύπαρξης συνόλων δεδομένων βιβλιοθηκών στον ΣΙ που καταλήγουν απομονωμένα και αχρησιμοποίητα. Για την απάντηση του κυρίου ερωτήματος της διατριβής “Είναι η σημασιολογική διαλειτουργικότητα μεταξύ των βιβλιογραφικών μοντέλων εφικτή;” τέθηκαν τέσσερις στόχοι: 1) η μελέτη και σύγκριση μοντέλων βιβλιοθηκών (FRBR, LRM, FRBRoo, RDA, BIBFRAME και EDM), 2) η ανάπτυξη αντιστοιχίσεων μεταξύ των μοντέλων, 3) η αξιολόγηση των αντιστοιχίσεων χρησιμοποιώντας δεδομένα, και 4) ο προσδιορισμός προϋποθέσεων ή καλών πρακτικών καταλογογράφησης για καλύτερες αντιστοιχίσεις. Τα αποτελέσματα της διατριβής επιβεβαιώνουν ότι η σημασιολογική διαλειτουργικότητα είναι εφικτή κάτω από ορισμένες συνθήκες. Όλες οι συνθήκες, τα προαπαιτούμενα και οι καλές πρακτικές που ανιχνεύθηκαν σχετίζονται με τις πολιτικές καταλογογράφησης που εφαρμόζονται. Η τελική δήλωση της διατριβής, λοιπόν, τάσσεται υπέρ της καλύτερης συνεργασίας μεταξύ των εμπλεκομένων φορέων και της υιοθέτησης κοινού τρόπου σκέψης και πρακτικών για την επίλυση ετερογενειών του παρελθόντος και την αποφυγή δημιουργίας νέων.

Libraries’ Metadata as Data in the Era of the Semantic Web: Modeling a Repository of Master Theses and PhD Dissertations for the Web of Data

This study argues that metadata of library catalogs can stand autonomously, providing valuable information detached from the resources they point to and, therefore, could be used as data in the context of the Semantic Web. We present an analysis of this perception followed by an implementation proposal for a Master's thesis and PhD dissertation repository. The analysis builds on the flexibility of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) and takes into account the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and Functional Requirements for Authority Data (FRAD) in order to reveal the latent academic network by linking its entities to a meaningful and computationally processable set. Current library catalogs retrieve documents to find answers, whereas in our approach catalogs can provide answers that could not be found in any specific document.
