Semantic Integration of Data Yannis Tzitzikas Computer Science Department, University of Crete, GREECE & Information Systems Laboratory (ISL) Institute of Computer Science (ICS) Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16), Heraklion, Crete, Greece, June 27, 2016 Outline • Motivation • Requirements • Case Study: Marine Species Data • Challenges and Conclusions Time plan: 25’ presentation, 5’ questions and discussion Slides: will be publicly available after the school Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 2 Motivation Huge amounts of data are available and this amount constantly increases. Almost everyone produces data (and everything will produce data). Almost everyone needs data (and everything will need data). Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Motivation However data and information is not integrated. Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Motivation However data and information is not integrated. Hundreds or thousands of CKAN catalogs each containing hundreds or thousands of datasets Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Motivation In several domains and applications one has to fetch and assemble pieces of information coming from more than one sources for being able to answer complex queries (that are not answerable by individual sources) or analyze the integrated data. This important for science but also for our daily life. This is true in science in general Biodiversity domain Cultural Domain E-Government Science in general … Personal data Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 6 50%-90% of time for data collection and cleaning It has been written that Data scientists spend from 50 percent to 80 percent of their time in collecting and preparing unruly digital data, before it can be explored for useful nuggets. If you’re trying to reconcile a lot of sources of data that you don’t control it can take 80% of your time One-Third of BI Pros Spend Up to 90% of Time Cleaning Data Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Indicative Complex Queries Thunnus Albacares El Greco Marine Domain Given the scientific name of a species (say Thunnus Albacares), find the ecosystems, waterareas and countries that this species is native to, and the common names that are used for this species in each of the countries, as well as their commercial codes Cultural Domain Give me all paintings of El Greco that are now exhibited in Greece and their location , as well as all articles or books about these paintings between 2000 and 2016. Give me the paintings of El Greco referring to persons that were born between 0 and 300 BC. Give me all events related to El Greco that will take place this month in Heraklion. Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 8 Why integration is difficult? Datasets are kept or produced by different organizations in different formats, models, locations, systems. The same real world entities or relationships are referred with different names and in different natural languages (natural languages have synonyms and homonyms) Datasets usually contain complementary information Datasets can contain erroneous or contradicting information Datasets about the same domain may follow different conceptualizations of the domain Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) … names Thunnus Albacares 348 common names in 82 different languages! ed Pa'ak Pukeu Sisek kuneng Geelvin-tuna Geelvin-tuna Tuna Tambakol Gubad Jaydher Kababa Shak zoor Tuna sirip kuning Rambayan Tambakol Bangkulis Bankulis Bronsehan Buyo Kikyawon Paranganon Manguro O'maguro Tag-hu Taguw Taguw peras Taguw tangir Barelis Bariles Barilis Carao Karaw Pak-an Pala-pala Panit Panitto Pirit Tulingan Kacho Bariles Karaw Panit M'Bassi Mbasi bankudi Mibassi mibankundri Thon a nageoires jaunes Thon jaune Ton zonn Z'ailes jaunes Albacora Atum olede Chefarote Rabo-seco Gulfinnet tun Gulfinnet tunfisk Bariles Bugo Karaw Geelvintonijn 'Fin Albacore Allison tuna Allison tuna Allison tuna Allison's tuna Atlantic yellowfin tuna Autumn albacore Long fin tunny Longfin Pacific long-tailed tuna Tuna Tuna Yellow fin tuna Yellow tunny Yellow-fin tuna Yellow-fin tuna Yellow-fin tuna Yellow-fin tunny Yellowfin Yellowfin Yellowfin tuna Yellowfinned albacore Kulduim-tuun Gegu Tuna Yatu Yatunitoga Keltaevatonnikala Albacore Gegu Grand fouet Guegou Thon Thon a nageoires jaunes Thon jaune Thon rouge Atu igu mera Albacore Gelbflossen-Thunfisch Gelbflossenthun Tonnos macrypteros Gedar Gedara Ahi Kahauli Kanana Maha'o Palaha Shibi Bantalaan Panit Oriles Tambakul Tonno albacora Tonno monaco Tunnu monicu Tiklaw Vahuyo Kihada Panit Baewe Baibo Baiura Te baewe Te baibo Te bairera Te baitaba Te ingamea Te ingimea Te inginea Bokado Olwol Malaguno Tambakol Gantarangang Lamatra Aya Aya tuna Bakulan Gelang kawung Kayu Tongkol Tuna Tuna ekor kuning Tuna sirip kuning Poovan-choora Kannali-mas Bariles Panit Bugudi Gedar Kuppa Pimp Bwebwe Tetena keketina Vahakula Albacore Albakor To'uo Balang kuni Ghidar Albakora Tunczyk zoltopletwy a. albakora Albacora Albacora Albacora Albacora Albacora Albacora da laje Albacora de lage Albacora-cachorra Albacora-da-lage Albacora-de-laje Albacora-lage Albacora-lajeira Alvacor Alvacora Alvacora-lajeira Atum Atum Atum albacora Atum albacora Atum albacora Atum rabil Atum-albacora Atum-amarelo Atum-debarbatana-amarela Atum-de-galha-a-re Atum-galha-amarela Galha a re Ielofino Peixe de galha a re Peixe-de-galha-a-re Peixinho da ilho Rabao Rabil Rabo-seco Albacora Ton galben Albacor Tikhookeanskij zheltoperyj tunets Zheltokhvostyj tunets Asiasi Gaogo Ta'uo To'uo Tuna zutoperka Zutorepi tunj As geddi kelawalla Howalla Howalla Kelawalla Kelawalla Pihatu kelawalla Yajdar-baal-cagaar Albacora Albacora Albacora aleta amarilla Aleta amarilla Aleta amarilla Atun aleta amarilla Atun aleta amarilla Atun aleta amarilla Atun aleta amarilla Atun aleta amarilla Atun de aleta amarilla Atun de aleta amarilla Atun de aleta amarilla Atun de aleta amarilla Atun de aleta amarilla Atun de aletas amarillas Rabil Rabil Rabil Rabil Bariles Jodari Albacora Gulfenad tonfisk Albakora Badla-an Barilis Buyo Tambakol A'ahi A'ahi 'oputea A'ahi 'oputi'i A'ahi hae A'ahi mapepe A'ahi maueue A'ahi patao A'ahi tari'a'uri A'ahi tatumu A'ahi teaamu A'ahi tiamatau A'ahi vere Otara Kelavai Soccer Soccer Tekuu Atutaoa Kahikahi Kakahi Kakahi/lalavalu Takuo Takuo Kahikahi Kakahi Sari kanat orkinos Sar?kanatorkinoz bal?g?

The mappings are used to enable query translation. The derived sub-queries are sent to the wrappers of the individual sources, which transform them into queries over the underlying sources. The results of these sub-queries are sent back to the mediator where they are assembled to form the final answer • Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 16 Main approaches for integration (cont.) Mediator Warehouse • • • • • • Benefit: Flexibility in transformation logic (including ability to curate and fix problems) Benefit: Decoupling of the release management of the integrated resource • from the management cycles of the underlying sources Benefit: Decoupling of access load from the underlying sources. Benefit: Faster responses (in query answering but also in other tasks, e.g. if one wants to use it for applying an entity matching technique). Benefit: One advantage (but in some cases disadvantage) of virtual integration is the real-time reflection of source updates in integrated access Comment: The higher complexity of the system (and the quality of service demands on the sources) is only justified if immediate access to updates is indeed required. Shortcomings You have to pay the cost for hosting the warehouse. You have to refresh periodically the warehouse Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 17 Case Study: Marine Species Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 18 Context: iMarine Id: An FP7 Research Infrastructure Project (2011-2014) Final goal: launch an initiative aimed at establishing and operating an einfrastructure supporting the principles of the Ecosystem Approach to fisheries management and conservation of marine living resources. Partners: Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 19 Continuation in BlueBRIDGE BlueBRIDGE (Building Research environments for fostering Innovation, Decision making, Governance and Education to support Blue growth), H2020-EINFRA-2015-1 Sept. 2015- Feb. 2018 Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Marine Information: in several sources WoRMS: World Register of Marine Species Registers more than 200K species ECOSCOPE- A Knowledge Base About Marine Ecosystems (IRD, France) FLOD (Fisheries Linked Data) of Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations FishBase: Probably the largest and most extensively accessed online database of fish species. DBpedia Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 21 Marine Information: in several sources Taxonomic information Storing complementary information Ecosystem information (e.g. which fish eats which fish) Commercial codes General information, occurrence data, including information from other sources General information, figures Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 22 Marine Information: in several sources Accessed through different technologies Web services (SOAP/WSDL) RDF + OWL files SPARQL Endpoint Relational Database SPARQL Endpoint Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 23 .. How to integrate Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 24 Scope Control (how to control it?) We use the notion of competency queries. A competency query is a query that is useful for the community at hand, e.g. for a human member , or for building applications for that domain Indicative competency queries for our running example: Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 25 Materialization or Mediation? In both cases we need a unified model/schema Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 26 The Top Level Ontology: MarineTLO MarineTLO aims at being a global core model that provides a common, agreed-upon and understanding of the concepts and relationships holding in the marine domain to enable knowledge sharing, information exchanging and integration between heterogeneous sources – covers with suitable abstractions the marine domain to enable the most fundamental queries, can be extended to any level of detail on demand, and – allows data originating from distinct sources to be adequately mapped and integrated • MarineTLO is not supposed to be the single ontology covering the entirety of what exists – Benefits: reduced effort for improving and evolving : the focus is given on one model, rather than many (the results are beneficial for the entire community) reduced effort for constructing mappings: this approach avoids the inevitable combinatorial explosion and complexities that results from pair-wise mappings between individual metadata formats and/or ontologies Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 27 MarineTLO: Query capabilities It should allow formulating the competency queries. Indicative examples of queries that can be formulated 1.Given the scientific name of a species, find its predators with the related taxon-rank classification and with the different codes that the organizations use to refer to them. 2. Given the scientific name of a species, find the ecosystems, waterareas and countries that this species is native to, and the common names that are used for this species in each of the countries The MarineTLO currently contains around 90 classes and 40 properties. More in www.ics.forth.gr/isl/MarineTLO Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 28 Materialization or Mediation? We will focus on the materialization case i.e on the construction and maintenance of a MarineTLO-based semantic warehouse Semantic warehouse Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 29 .. Integration process Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 30 The warehouse construction and evolution process Expressed over MarineTLOuses Define requirements in terms of competency queries MatWare Queries Fetch the data from the selected sources (SPARQL endpoints, services, etc) MatWare Transform and Ingest to the Warehouse MatWare Inspect the connectivity of the Warehouse Formulate rules creating sameAs relationships Triples creates uses produces Rules for Instance Matching uses Apply the rules to the warehouse MatWare Ingest the sameAs relationships to the warehouse MatWare Test and evaluate the Warehouse (using sameAs triples Warehouse the competency queries and the conn. metrics) Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 31 How to connect the fetched pieces of information? The Semantic Approach Use URIs instead of strings You can establish links in this way You can avoid the problem of homonyms Use owl:sameAs to connect equivalent URIs Various other semantic relationships Linked Data is a method of publishing structured data so that it can be interlinked and become more useful through semantic queries. It builds upon standard Web technologies such as HTTP, RDF and URIs. This enables data from different sources to be connected and queried Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) How to link We need Entity Matching Both automatic methods and handcrafted rules are required Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Example: Suffix-based URI equivalence = thunnusalbacares thunnusalbacares lower case conversion ThunnusAlbacares thunnusalbacares underscore removal Thunnus_Albacares thunnus_albacares prefix removal http://www.dbpedia.com/Thunnus_Albacares ≡ http://www.ecoscope.com/thunnus_albacares last(u): is the string obtained by (a) getting the substring after the last "/" or "\#", and turning the letters of the picked substring to lowercase and deleting the underscore letters that might exist. Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 34 Example: Entity Matching-based URI Equivalence Matching Rule: If an Ecoscope individual's preflabel in lower case is the same with the attribute label of a FLOD individual then these two individuals are the same. Thunnus Albacares thunnus albacares label skos:preflabel http://www.ecoscope.com/thunnus_albacares sameAs http://www.fao.org/figis/flod/entities/codedentity/ 636cdcea-c411-43ad-97ff-00c9304f5e60 Yannis Tzitzikas et al., LWDM 2014, Athens Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 35 .. How to measure the quality of the warehouse? Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 36 Connectivity Assessment Why it is useful to measure Connectivity? For assessing how much the aggregated content is connected For getting an overview of the warehouse For quantifying the value of the warehouse (query capabilities) o Poor connectivity affects negatively the query capabilities of the warehouse. For making easier its monitoring after reconstruction For measuring the contribution of each source to the warehouse, and hence deciding which sources to keep or exclude (there are already hundreds of SPARQL endpoints). Identification of redundant or unconnected sources In general Connectivity has two main aspects: Schema and Instance. Regarding Schema Connectivity our running example uses a top level ontology (MarineTLO) and schema mappings in order to associate the fetched data with the schema of the top level ontology. As regards Instance Connectivity one has to inspect and test the connectivity of the “draft” warehouse through the competency queries, and a number of connectivity metrics that we have defined and then formulate rules for instance matching Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 37 Connectivity Metrics Definition Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 38 Connectivity Metrics: Increase in the average Degree Suffix canonicalization The average degree is increased from 18.72 to 23.92. Entity Matching The average degree, of all sources is significantly bigger than before. Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 39 Connectivity Metrics: Exchanging The metrics can also be exchanged for assisting dataset discovery or dataset selection (in a mediator-based architecture). We have extended VoID (Vocabulary of Interlinked Datasets) for representing and exchanging such metrics (VoIDWarehouse) VoIDWarehouse Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 40 Connectivity Metrics: Exchanging (cont). 1. Compute of the Connectivity Metrics-Production of Matrixes 2. Describe the Connectivity Metrics with the proposed VoID extension 3. Store these triples in a separate graph space 4. Retrieve/Query these values from the warehouse using SPARQL queries Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 41 .. Provenance Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 42 Provenance It is important to keep the provenance of each data in the warehouse. We have realized that the following 4 levels of provenance support are usually required: [a] Conceptual level [b] URIs and Values level [c] Triple Level [d] Query level Level [a] can be supported by the conceptual model level. In our application context we use the MarineTLO and the transformation rules do the required transformations. Matware offers support also for levels [b]-[d] Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 43 Provenance a) Conceptual modeling level Example: Assignment of identifiers to species MarineTLO models the provenance of species names, codes etc, and the Transformation rules of MatWare transform the ingested data according to this model. hasCodeType isIdentifiedBy YFT FAOCode Thunnus albacares isIdentifiedBy hasCodeType 127027 WoRMSCode Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 44 Provenance b) URIs and Literals : i. Adopting the namespace mechanism for URIs: - The prefix of the URI provides information about the origin of the data. - e.g. www.fishbase.org/entity/ecosystem#mediterannean_sea ii. Ability to attach @Source to every literal coming from a Source: - e.g. select scientific name and authorship of Yellow Fin Tunna - This policy allows formulating source-centric queries in a relative simple way: SELECT ?speciesname WHERE { ?species tlo:has_scientific_name ?scientificname FILTER(langMatches(lang(?scientificname), “worms")) } Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 45 Provenance c) Triple Level Provenance • Store the fetched triples in a separate graphspace: FISHBASE: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/Fishbase DBpedia: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/DBpedia FLOD: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/FLOD Ecoscope: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/Ecoscope WoRMS: http://www.ics.forth.gr/isl/WoRMS • • By asking for the graph that each triple is coming from we retrieve the provenance of the data. This enables refreshing only one part of the warehouse Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 46 Provenance d) Query Level Provenance • • Matware offers a query rewriting functionality that exploits the contents of the graphspaces for returning the sources that contributed to the query results (including those that contributed to the intermediate steps). Let q be a SPARQL query that has n parameters in the select clause and contains k triple patterns of the form (?s_i, ?p_i, ?o_i) : SELECT {?o_1 ?o_2} WHERE { ?s_1 ?p_1 ?o_1 . ?s_2 ?p_2 ?o_2 . ?s_k ?p_k ?o_k } • The rewriting produces a query q’ that has n+k parameters in the select clause and each triple pattern (?si ?pi ?oi) has been replaced by: graph ?gi {?si ?pi ?oi}. Eventually the rewritten query q’ is: SELECT {?o_1 ?o_2 ?g_1 ?g_2 ?g_k} WHERE { graph ?g_1 {?s_1 ?p_1 ?o_1 }. graph ?g_2 { ?s_2 ?p_2 ?o_2} . graph ?g_3 {?s_k ?p_k ?o_k} } Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 47 Provenance Example of Query Level Provenance: Query: For a scientific name of a species (e.g. Thunnus Albacares) find the FAO codes of the waterareas in which the species is native. Query in SPARQL: select ?faocode ?source1 ?source2 where { graph ?source1 { ecoscope:thunnus_albacares MarineTLO:isNativeAt ?waterarea }. graph ?source2 { ?waterarea MarineTLO:LXrelatedIdentifierAssignment ?faocode } } RESULT: Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 48 Architecture of Matware Actions in order to create a Warehouse from scratch one should specify the type of the repository the names of the graphs that correspond to the different sources URL, username and password in order to connect to the repository Actions in order to add a new source (a) include the fetcher class for the specific source as plug in (b) provide the mapping files (schema mappings) (c) include the transformer class for the specific source as a plug in (d) provide the SILK rules as xml files Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 49 The resulted MarineTLO-based Warehouse(1/2) Integrated information about Thunnus albacares from different sources Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 50 The resulted MarineTLO-based Warehouse(2/2) Concepts Ecoscope FLOD WoRMS DBpedia Fishbase Species Scientific Names Authorships Common Names Predators Ecosystems Countries Water Areas Vessels Gears EEZ iMarine 2nd Review, September Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 2013,Brussels 51 Evolution over Time < some plots> Need for visualization Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Exploitation of the Semantic Warehouse Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 53 Exploitation of the Semantic Warehouse A) Semantic Processing of Search Results (einfrastructure service) B) Fact Sheet Generator (web application) C) Species Identification Tool D) Interactive 3D visualization Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 54 A) For Semantic Post-Processing of Search Results: The process web browsing contents query terms (top-L) results (+ metadata) Entity Mining MarineTLO Warehouse entities / contents Visualization/Interaction (faceted search, entity exploration, annotation, top-k graphs, etc.) semantic data Semantic Analysis • Grouping, • Ranking • Retrieving more properties Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 55 A) For Semantic Post-Processing of Search Results: Example (X-Search) The Warehou se is used The Warehou se is used Search Results Result of Entity Mining Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) Result of textual clustering 56 Example of the EntityCard of Thunnus Albacares The Warehou se is used From DBpedia From FLOD From Ecoscope From WoRMS Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 57 A’) XSearch as a bookmarklet Dynamic annotating of entities over any Web page The Warehou se is used Entity exploration Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 58 B) Fact Sheet Generator & Android Application Fact Sheet Generator Ichthys Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 59 C) Species Identification Tool Species identification through Preference-enriched Faceted Search over the semantic descriptions of fish species Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) D) Interactive 3D Visualization of Datasets The metrics are exploited for producing interactive 3D visualization of datasets Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) This approach is general Integrated information about Thunnus albacares from different sources Datasets about Toledo Datasets about Art Datasets about Crete Yannis Tzitzikas, ITN-DCH summer school 2016 (@CGI'16) 62 The big picture (core concepts and relations) services Molecular world and parts global indices part of exemplifies is about cross reference Human Activities Records Forecasts from Samples or Specimen (bio,geo) Publications Products of mathem.
