Going from Tables to GraphsAs computing power increases, the ability to build more and more complex graphs becomes a reality.

Introducing TriplesNodes and Links
• Quite simply: Subject, Predicate, Object
• gives us the ability to describe entities in a way that is machine readable

Triples for machines
• Triples can be serialized in many different ways, including Resource Description Framework, RDF/XML, RDFa, N3, Turtle, etc, but they all describe things in the <subject><predicate><object> format.
• Of course, we need to be consistent and predictable for machines to understand us.
• We need to follow simple rules and protocols

• Consider graph demo: http://civilwardata150.net
• Civil War vocabulary, or a way to link and traverse across datasets• Regiments, Battles, Places
• Building apps that use this data

Linked Data.
• Goal is to enable researchers to explore and interpret the commonalities or divergences in the data.
• Multiple significant scholarly humanities datasets to pipe in and aggregate with varying levels of standards and technologies.
• Information design challenge to build an ontology and use linked data and controlled vocabularies for data to be aligned and related.
• Provide a virtual environment to explore this data and process with tools.

Rethinking Resource Discovery.
• Goal is to enable researchers to explore and interpret the commonalities or divergences in the data.
• Support researcher needs to discern facts (what is?) and locate more information (where is?) drawing on Australian cultural scholarly data.
• Major task is to aggregate heterogeneous humanities data that may be related to digital representations e.g. digital text, audio-visual etc files.
• Method is linked data, using ontology and controlled vocabulary development.
• Outcomes are the researcher can move easily from: what is? to where is? in their information seeking.
Information Seeking.
• Information seeking is supported by intellectual access tools, which include library catalogues, archival finding aids, reference tools, subject databases, journal repositories and information resources (physical and digital).
• Critical step in information seeking is undertaken in preliminary visit to the “reference shelf” and it can often be revisited to satisfy research questions.
• What is the researcher question? What information can I find out about this person and their life, what they have done, etc. A classic biographical enquiry.
• Know the name and other facts associated with a person in the HuNI graph (in the lab) and follow a hyperlink to a range of web resources related to that person.
Metadata Mash Up.
• A mash up of reference tools and finding aids: factbooks, dictionaries, encyclopaedias, bibliographies and catalogues and archival registers.
• Link needs to be forged with the ontologies for domain resources e.g. TEI and resource discovery metadata.
• Exploring this with the crosswalk between CIDOC-CRM and FRBR-OO (latest draft) and keeping an eye on BibFrame.
• Same problem being explored in another NeCTAR virtual lab project: Human and Communication Science.
• Role of annotation and metadata in discovery of new knowledge or the means to elucidate new knowledge needs to be unpacked.
Australian Women’s Register
Ontology Development.
• Information design challenge to build an ontology and use linked data and controlled vocabularies for data to be aligned and related.
• Reading the data. Characteristics of the data determine the ontological components selected and the major “entities” (aka “access points” in library lingo).
• Identified early as: people, organisations, events, relationships, places, dates, resources, and subjects.
• Components from ontologies already available are being reused or kept in our sights: CIDOC-CRM, FOAF, SKOS, FRBR, FRBR-OO, BibFrame and PROV-O.
