Text classification of column headers with a controlled vocabulary: leveraging LLMs for metadata enrichment
This work proposes a novel approach that leverages LLMs for text classification using a controlled topic vocabulary, which has the potential to facilitate automated metadata enrichment, thereby enhancing dataset retrieval and the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability and Reusability (FAIR) of research data on the Web.
Nanopublication-Based Semantic Publishing and Reviewing: A Field Study with Formalization Papers
With the rapidly increasing amount of scientific literature, it is getting continuously more difficult for researchers in different disciplines to be updated with the recent findings in their field of study. Processing scientific articles in an automated fashion has been proposed as a solution to this problem, but the accuracy of such processing remains very poor for extraction tasks beyond the basic ones. Few approaches have tried to change how we publish scientific results in the first place, by making articles machine-interpretable by expressing them with formal semantics from the start. In the work presented here, we set out to demonstrate that we can formally publish high-level scientific claims in formal logic, and publish the results in a special issue of an existing journal. We use the concept and technology of nanopublications for this endeavor, and represent not just the submissions and final papers in this RDF-based format, but also the whole process in between, including reviews, responses, and decisions. We do this by performing a field study with what we call formalization papers, which contribute a novel formalization of a previously published claim. We received 15 submissions from 18 authors, who then went through the whole publication process leading to the publication of their contributions in the special issue. Our evaluation shows the technical and practical feasibility of our approach. The participating authors mostly showed high levels of interest and confidence, and mostly experienced the process as not very difficult, despite the technical nature of the current user interfaces. We believe that these results indicate that it is possible to publish scientific results from different fields with machine-interpretable semantics from the start, which in turn opens countless possibilities to radically improve in the future the effectiveness and efficiency of the scientific endeavor as a whole.
Expressing High-Level Scientific Claims with Formal Semantics
Analyzing the main claims from a sample of scientific articles from all disciplines, we find that their semantics are more complex than what a straight-forward application of formalisms like RDF or OWL account for, but we managed to elicit a clear semantic pattern which we call the 'super-pattern'.
Provenance for Linguistic Corpora Through Nanopublications
Research in Computational Linguistics is dependent on text corpora for training and testing new tools and methodologies.
Towards FAIR protocols and workflows: The OpenPREDICT case study
Our evaluation shows the high degree to which our FAIRified OpenPREDICT workflow now adheres to the FAIR principles and the practicality and usefulness of being able to answer our new competency questions.
Supporting stylists by recommending fashion style
We do this by surfacing relevant items of clothing during the outfit building process based on what our stylist is doing and what the preferences of our customer are.
Extracting Core Claims from Scientific Articles
The number of scientific articles has grown rapidly over the years and there are no signs that this growth will slow down in the near future.
The Controlled Natural Language of Randall Munroe's Thing Explainer
It is rare that texts or entire books written in a Controlled Natural Language (CNL) become very popular, but exactly this has happened with a book that has been published last year.
Fully automatic multi-language translation with a catalogue of phrases - successful employment for the Swiss avalanche bulletin
Overall, the output from the catalogue system can be considered virtually equivalent to a text written by avalanche forecasters and then manually translated by professional translators.
nanopub-java: A Java Library for Nanopublications
The concept of nanopublications was first proposed about six years ago, but it lacked openly available implementations.

A Survey and Classification of Controlled Natural Languages
The goal of this article is to provide a common terminology and a common model for CNL, to contribute to the understanding of their general nature, to provide a starting point for researchers interested in the area, and to help developers to make design decisions.
Publishing without Publishers: a Decentralized Approach to Dissemination, Retrieval, and Archiving of Data
Making available and archiving scientific results is for the most part still considered the task of classical publishing companies, despite the fact that classical forms of publishing centered around printed narrative articles no longer seem well-suited in the digital age.

Evaluating the fully automatic multi-language translation of the Swiss avalanche bulletin
After being operational for two winter seasons, we assess here the quality of the produced texts based on an evaluation where participants rate real danger descriptions from both origins, the catalogue of phrases versus the manually written and translated texts.
Trusty URIs: Verifiable, Immutable, and Permanent Digital Artifacts for Linked Data
To make digital resources on the web verifiable, immutable, and permanent, we propose a technique to include cryptographic hash values in URIs.
