From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Semantic publishing
on the
Web
, or
semantic web
publishing
, refers to publishing information on the web as documents accompanied by
semantic markup
. Semantic publication provides a way for computers to understand the structure and even the meaning of the published information, making information search and
data integration
more efficient.

Although semantic publishing is not specific to the Web, it has been driven by the rising of the semantic web. In the semantic web, published information is accompanied by metadata describing the information, providing a "semantic" context.
[9]
[10]
Although semantic publishing has the potential to change the face of
web publishing
, acceptance depends on the emergence of compelling applications. Web sites can already be built with all contents in both
HTML
format and semantic format.
[11]
RSS
1.0, uses
RDF
(a semantic web standard) format, although it has become less popular than RSS2.0 and
Atom
.
[12]
Semantic publishing has the potential to revolutionize
scientific publishing
.
Tim Berners-Lee
predicted in 2001 that the semantic web "will likely profoundly change the very nature of how
scientific knowledge
is produced and shared, in ways that we can now barely imagine".
[13]
Revisiting the semantic web in 2006, he and his colleagues believed the semantic web "could bring about a revolution in how, for example, scientific content is managed throughout its life cycle".
Researchers could directly self-publish their experiment data in "semantic" format on the web. Semantic search engines could then make these data widely available. The
W3C
interest group in healthcare and life sciences is exploring this idea.
[14]
Two approaches
[
edit
]
- Publish information as data objects using semantic web languages like
RDF
and
OWL
.
Ontology
is usually developed for a specific information domain, which can formally represent the data in its domain. Semantic publishing of more general information like product information, news, and job openings uses so-called
shallow ontology
.
[12]
The SWEO Linking Open Data Project
[15]
maintains a list of data sources
[16]
that follow this approach as well as a list of Semantic Publishing Tools.
[17]
- Express structured data in
markup languages
with
RDFa
, embed or publish information using
JSON-LD
,
Turtle
,
TriG
syntaxes.
