2 Webtracks Project Overview WEB-scale link TRACKing for research data and publications (Webtracks) Developed an approach and mechanism for constructing and propagating linked data in the context of research and academic activities Build on previous work in Claddier and Storelink Collaboration between: - Department of Chemistry, Southampton University - STFC e-science Centre Funded by the JISC Managing Research Data (MRD) Programme (under the Citing, Linking and Integrating Research Data theme). 2

13 Intelligent pushing of links Existing notification protocols Trackbacks track distributed blog conversations, with fixed semantics Claddier/Storelinks P2P, support fixed formats of metadata Semantic Pingback RPC protocol Salmons RSS protocol, non-rdf approach. 13

14 The InteRCom protocol Repository A Repository B R1 cito: cites R2 14

15 InteRCom Protocol key features Leverages emerging Linked Data environment of - identifying and accessing Resources using dereferenceable HTTP-based URI - using RDF to describe Resources and how they relate to each other Linking between objects in any research Resources - experiment, sample, data, publication, blog post... Supports domain agnostic semantic annotation to add context to the link - SPAR, Dublin Core 15

16 InteRCom Protocol Stage 1 : Steps 1-3 intercom pingback discovery Stage 2 : Step 4 establishing link Source client 1. GET on an URL, DOI-based URI or HTTP URI,.. 3. Parse rdf for intercom ping url and metadata HTTP/ OK. <tr><th>webtracks Ping</th> <td><a href=" cks/expression/23479/v/1/links" rel="intercom:ping"> t:8182/webtracks/expression/234 79/v/1/links</a></td></tr> Target Webbased Resource Target InteRCom Resource 2. Return RDF or HTML with embedded RDF (eg. RDFa) 4. POST Link Request 16
