Semantic Web technology; Applied in research and education

John Doove, SURF

Outline• Mini intro on SURF

• An example of earlier work with Semantic Web technologies in the SURFshare program: Enhanced Publications

- What?

- Why?

- How?

• Crossover to Education: Enhanced Weblectures

• Future Possibilities for Learning Analytics

SURF: ICT innovation by and for higher education and research

Research universities, universities of applied sciences, and research institutions work together in SURF, in order to • Improve the quality of research and

education• By creating pioneering ICT innovations

For the past 25 years the Dutch higher education and research institutions have been collaborating on ICT innovation projects that go beyond what is possible at individual institutions.

Enhanced Publications (EP)

An enhanced publication is a scholarly publication – usually a full text – that has been enhanced with additional (supplementary)materials

Enhanced Publications

Publications combined with research data• Improve interpretation, reproduction and verification• Promote available data• Browseable network of related items

DRIVER II; what is it , Does it work technically?

First round of Tenders; Does it work at the Universities/institutes?

Second round of Tenders; User Centric

Users make their own Enhanced Publications ….With a little help

2011 Call “Maken van Verrijkte Publicaties”

Tender Projects (consecutive rounds)

• First: a basic understanding of the background and techniques including demonstrator

• Second: experimented with ‘real life’ publications to test if the concept was usable (First round of Tenders (projects ‘Samen in Delen’ and ‘CORF/OA+’)

• Third: Decision to put this into practice; focussing on the user perspective

see video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_KJTsr1fys)

• Final: Researchers make their own Enhanced Publications

Proof of Concept: Driver Demonstrator

• …relationships between objects (RDF, OAI-ORE). http://driver2.dans.knaw.nl/demonstrator/html/index.html

Aggregating Enhanced Publications

Cross-over to Education - Weblectures

• Students are shown the resources mentioned during a weblecture

• As provided by teacher through an easy to use tool…

• Now, since in the backrgound these relationships are stored as RDFtriples, the same resources are also presented like this:

And finally the link to Learning Analytics

• Which allows for tracking the students behaviour when exploring new resources and analyze which kind of relationships (or authors or subjects) are more populair

• Which allows for recommender services

• Which allows for…?

Many thanks for your atttention!
