User:Linaist/ORE related material reading

This week, I mainly went through the following two concepts:

1)RDF

2)ORE

My work:

1)RDF   RDF is a graph, which models relationships between related objects. An important application of RDF graph is using it to represent resource map.    I will present some of the detail, such as RDF concept, vocabulary, serialization on Monday.

2)ORE   ORE is built on RDF, which embraces RDF and named graph.

In my opinion, ORE tries to establish a standard (or say a general model) for related digital resources. If this goal is achieved, then it will be possible for heterogeneous resources on the web to be exchanged and reused. Some people are struggling to improve and develop this standard, some people are developing applications (softwares) to facilitate parsing those markup languages, which implement RDF, other people are trying to use the ORE concept in real. In all, there are three directions of research on this topic:

1)Developing ORE itself (concept and standard)

2)Developing ORE related applications

3)Using ORE concept and those applications for website and database design

Next week's work: Considering ORE with respect to ChemxSeer, to this purpose, I may analyze the database of ChemxSeer, sort different type of metadata, try to apply ORE to ChemxSeer, such as taking each entity as a resource map, or taking each author as a resource map, or taking each topic as a resource map.
