Abstract

One of the main research areas in semantic publishing is the development of semantic models that fit the requirements of authors and publishers. Although several models and metadata schemas have been developed in the past, they do not fully comply with the vocabulary used by publishers or they are not adequate for describing specific topics (e.g., characterisation of bibliographic citations, definition of publishing roles, description of publishing workflows, etc.). In this chapter I introduce the Semantic Publishing and Referencing (SPAR) Ontologies, a suite of orthogonal and complementary OWL 2 DL ontology modules for the creation of comprehensive machine-readable RDF metadata for every aspect of semantic publishing and referencing. In particular, I show the characteristics and benefits of all the SPAR ontologies, and support the entire discussion with several examples of Turtle code describing a particular reference of the legal discipline, namely Casanovas et al.’s “OPJK and DILIGENT: ontology modelling in a distributed environment”.

Notes

  1. 1.

    All these principles are derived from my personal experience in developing ontologies for a specific domain (i.e., publishing) and for specific end-users (primarily, publishers and authors).

  35. 35.

    Note that it is possible to create valid HTML documents that are not compliant with the presented structural pattern theory hereby presented. For that reason, in the examples that follow I will use HTML elements and consider their (informal) semantics as a strong requirement to make a correct document. Indeed, there are other markup formats that fit the structural pattern theory better than HTML, such as Akoma Ntoso (Barabucci et al. 2009). However, I have chosen to use HTML because it is a well-known and easily understandable markup format.

    Wikipedia article “Paragraph”: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paragraph.

    The words inline and block in these list items do not refer to the structural pattern theory introduced earlier, although some sort of overlapping exist.

  39. 39.

    Contrarily to the paper used as examplar in the previous sections, i.e., Casanovas et al. (2007), here I have decided to use other two papers, i.e., Peroni et al. (2008), which I co-authored. This is totally necessary because in Sects. 6.5 and  6.6 I will describe in detail how bibliographic entities and related resources are perceived over time. Thus, it is preferable to use a context I am well versed in rather than inventing possible (or even fake) scenarios related to Casanovas et al. (2007).

    This and all the following graphical representations of ontologies are drawn using Graffoo, the Graphical Framework for OWL Ontologies, available at http://www.essepuntato.it/graffoo. Yellow rectangles represent classes (solid border) and restrictions (dotted border), green parallelograms represent datatypes, arrows starting out of a filled circle refer to object property definitions, arrows starting out of an open circle refer to data property definitions, while other arrows represent assertions between resources.

  47. 47.

    In this context, a situation is defined as a view on a set of entities. It can be seen as a “relational context”, reifying a relation.
