Abstract

A number of systems extend the traditional web and Web 2.0 technologies by providing some form of integration with semantic web data [1,2,3]. These approaches build on tested content management systems (CMSs) for facilitating users in the semantic web. However, instead of directly managing existing linked data, these systems provide a mapping between their own data model to linked datasets using an RDF or OWL vocabulary. This sort of integration can be seen as a read-only or write-only approach, where linked data is either imported into or exported from the system. The next step in this evolution of CMSs is a full integration with linked data: allowing ontology instances, already published as linked data, to be directly managed using widely used web content management platforms. The motivation is to keep data (i.e., linked data repositories) loosely-coupled to the tool used to maintain them (i.e., the CMS). In this poster, we extend [3], a query builder for SPARQL, with an update mechanism to allow users to directly manage their linked data from within the CMS. To make the system sustainable and extensible in future, we choose to use Drupal as the default CMS and develop a module to handle query/update against a triple store. Our system, which we call a Linked Data Content Management System (Linked Data CMS) [4], performs similar operations to those of a traditional CMS but whereas a traditional CMS uses a data model of content types stored in some relational database backend, a Linked Data CMS performs CRUD (create, read, update, and delete) operations on linked data held in a triple store. Moreover, we show how the system can assist users in producing and consuming linked data in the cultural heritage domain and introduce 2 case studies used for system evaluation.
