The Federated Research Data Repository (FRDR) is pleased to announce the launch of its Format Policy Registry (FPR). The FPR is the outcome of years of file format work undertaken by the FRDR Team. The resource provides a listing of identified file formats in FRDR and an outline of the preservation actions for each. The goal of the FPR is to provide an overview of the digital preservation work that occurs behind the scenes.
The FPR comprises a strategy that outlines different preservation activities and is divided into 18 content type groups. Each group includes a listing of formats that belong to each content type. Every entry contains the file extension(s) associated with the format, the preservation action undertaken for a specific format, if one is available, and the level of preservation assigned to that format. The total number of files in FRDR that belong to a specific format is also provided.
Everybody uses lists. You probably made one today. Maybe it was a list of homework you need to finish. Perhaps it was a list of groceries your parents asked you to buy. Lists are everywhere because they are simple. They are easy to write down on a piece of paper. They are also easy to type into your phone.
Data quality measurement is a prerequisite to assure and improve the quality of data, thus enabling reliable decision-making. In alignment with the “fitness for use” definition, most existing solutions for measuring data quality are either (1) tailored to...
Das WikiLibrary-Manifest verbindet Bibliotheken und Wikimedia-Projekte wie Wikibase in einem internationalen Wissensnetzwerk. Unser Ziel: die Entstehung und Nutzung eines Linked Open Data Netzwerkes für Kunst, Kultur und Wissenschaft. Jetzt mitzeichnen!
Knowledge graphs play a crucial role in storing and reusing domain knowledge for data analytics. For example, knowledge graphs can be used to model security domain knowledge (such as technical standards) to support software architects in developing secure software systems. Assessing and assuring the quality of the data in these graphs is critical to enable trust in the use of this machine-readable domain knowledge, and to ensure high-quality results for downstream tasks that build on this knowledge. In this paper, we present a visual data quality dashboard, which allows domain experts to verify the quality of their domain knowledge graph along different dimensions. We demonstrate the use of the dashboard by means of a previously built security knowledge graph.
Engaging Data is a virtual workshop/gallery of javascript tools, data visualizations and maps of stuff that I find interesting and fun. Enjoy and Learn.
This paper gives an overview of the history, development, and structure of the electronic thesauri produced and maintained by the Getty Research Institute (GRI). We describe the evolution of the Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAI®), the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN®), and the Union List of Artist Names (ULAN®) as multilingual, cross-cultural knowledge organization systems (KOS); the factors that make them unique; and their potential, when expressed as Linked Open Data (LOD) to play a key role in the Semantic Web.
