In-Depth Information
Obviously, the power of the current Web is primarily due to the fact that it is
very simple to generate web pages, that the information is decentralized and that
the Web is participatory. However, what makes the Web especially powerful and
useful, is that the web pages are linked (the concept of hyperlink is inseparable
from that of the web) and that publishing information and linking it with other
information is very easy (publishing on the web as a task only requires an html
or text editor, it is not even necessary to generate a 100% correct code). Work
is currently being done on the idea that the information generated semantically
(following the Linked Data rules) is linked by the same actor. This approach is
the same as when we used HTML. Although our information can, of course, also
be linked by a third person in both paradigms. These are explicit links. This
characteristic of establishing explicit hyperlinks has been directly transferred
to the Semantic Web environment and is the Linked Data fourth rule. Yet, in
an environment where systems understand something of the content, is this as
interesting? Who must establish the links? And what if the actor exploiting the
semantic data could establish the links?
In this work, we have not only studied these problems, but we have also tried
to provide new ideas that help direct the data link process to the most up-to-date
Semantic Web possible with regard to the current Web. We have proposed intro-
ducing two new rules, which are fundamentally aimed at extending automatic
annotation based on shared ontologies, so that the problems of consistency and
updating of content annotation are solved. The proposals are accompanied with
an application example of the 6 resulting rules.
