PhD Thesis

Author

The PhD Thesis is entitled "A Semantic Web Approach to Digital Rights Management". It explores the possibilities of employing Knowledge Representation tools, concretely Semantic Web Ontologies, in order to build Digital Right Management (DRM) Systems. The main contribution of this work is the Copyright Ontology and the Semantic DRM System, SemDRMS.

Research Lines

My main research lines are Semantic Web, Web of Data and Linked Data.

I started working with Semantic Web technologies during my MSc Thesis about a distributed knowledge management system based on CORBA, RDF, reasoning,... in 1999. From there, I've been applying Semantic Web technologies in different domains and expanding recently to Web 3.0 (combining Semantic Web and Blockchain):

  • Human-Computer Interaction
    User Experience, Usability, Visualisation.
     
  • Content Management
    Multimedia and Digital Rights Management.
  • Knowledge Representation
    Ontology, Information Architecture, Data Integration.
     
  • Smart Data
    Semantic Web, Big Data, Linked Data, Open Data.
  • Decentralized Web
    Blockchain, Smart Contracts, Self-Sovereign Identity.

Rhizomer Project

Rhizomik is an initiative that collects some projects that apply the "rhizome" vision to the Semantic Web, Complex Systems and Cognitive Science:

  • Rhizomer: it is the technological framework used to build up the Rhizomik semantic web portal. It allows RDF metadata navigation and edition from a user-friendly HTML frontend.
  • ReDeFer: it englobes a set of tools to connect the Sematic Web to other Information Systems areas:
    • RDF to HTML: RDF2HTML is a translator used to render metadata in the Rhizomik portal.
    • XML Schema to OWL: XSD2OWL maps the semantic hidden in XML Schemas to OWL in order to build the ontology that captures the constraints imposed by the schema. It facilitates connecting XML based initiatives to the Semantic Web, e.g. the MPEG-7 Ontology.
    • XML to RDF: XML2RDF maps XML instances to RDF metadata in the context of a previous mapping of the XMLSchemas that structure the source XML to the corresponding OWL ontologies. Consequently, we get semantics-enabled translation of the source XML data, e.g. SemanticXBRL.
    • RDF to SVG: renders RDF as graph using SVG.
  • Living Semantic Web: application of Complex Systems analysis tools to knowledge networks, particularly to the Semantic Web.
  • Semantic DRM System: a Semantic Web approach to Digital Rights Management.
