Evaluating Semantic Browsers for Consuming Linked Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The value of a single dataset is increased when it is linked to combinations of datasets to provide users with more information. Linked Data is a style of publishing data on the Web by using a structured machine-readable format, RDF, and semantically typed relations to connect related data. Its structured representation opens up new possibilities in the way these data can be accessed and queried, while posing new design challenges for human interactions such as overloading data, navigation style, or browsing mechanism. In this paper, we review 14 semantic browsers available for the consumption of structured Linked Data and evaluate them against our five criteria framework in order to establish how well these browsers bring the benefit of Linked Data to human users.

Semantic Web in the Fog of Browsers
Imagine connecting thousands of web browsers with browser-to-browser connections, sharing storage, bandwidth, and CPU. This builds a fog of browsers where end-user devices are ready to collaborate. Imagine semantic fog applications running in fogs of browsers, querying the linked data servers hosted in the cloud and data hosted in the fog. Fogs of browsers running semantic fog applications crea...
متن کاملA Semantic Browser for Linked Open Data
Although the Semantic Web was originally designed as a “web for machines”, the growing wealth of information in Linked Open Data has become interesting for human users as well. Consequently, quite a few browsers for Linked Open Data have recently been developed. However, despite being developed for the semantic web, those browsers often present alphabetically ordered lists of facts, without res...
متن کاملFrom Overview to Facets and Pivoting for Interactive Exploration of Semantic Web Data
The proliferation of Linked Open Data on the Web has increased the amount of data available for analysis and reuse. However, casual users find it difficult to explore and use Semantic Web Data due to the prevalence of specialised browsers that require complex queries to be formed and intimate knowledge on the structure of datasets. We address this problem in the Rhizomer tool by applying the da...
متن کاملAugmenting the World using Semantic Web Technologies
Creating and maintaining augmented scenes for mobile Augmented Reality browsers can be a challenging and time consuming task. The timeliness of digital information artifacts connected to changing urban environments require authors to constantly update the structural representations of augmented scenes or to accept that the information will soon be outdated. We present an approach for retrieving...
متن کاملTabulator: Exploring and Analyzing linked data on the Semantic Web
A web of linked RDF data may be enabled by standards specifying how links should be made in RDF and under what conditions they should be followed as well as powerful generic RDF browsers that can traverse an open web of RDF resources. The Tabulator is an RDF browser, which is designed both for new users to provoke interest in the Semantic Web and give them a means to access and interact with th...
