Abstract

In order to make a Semantic Web dataset more usable to a wider range of users, specially Linked Data ones, Rhizomer constitutes a tool for data publishing in the web that in addition to common data browsing mechanisms based on HTML rendering, provides a set of components that facilitate awareness of the dataset at hand borrowed from Information Architecture. Rhizomer automatically generates navigation menus taking into account the ontologies used by the dataset and facets based on how properties are instantiated for each of the classes in the dataset. This makes it possible for users to easily be aware of the main kinds of things in the dataset but also their main properties and the values the take while they perform faceted navigation. These generic IA components are complemented with specialised interaction services that can be dynamically deployed and associated to resource using semantic web services. Among these services, Rhizomer features one that provides simple edition of the data using autocomplete forms guided by the ontologies used in the dataset and the available resources.
