As excused I wasn't really following your discussion, but indeed if you're giving URIs to these fragments...

It seems to be very unrelated. That is only resource-level, right? "Fundamentally, provenance information http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-prov-aq-20120619/#dfn-provenance-information is /about/ resource http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-prov-aq-20120619/#dfn-resources." So you would need a subject first. How do you say that the fact you just added to WikiData comes from a specific fragment of a resource? i.e. http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html#offset_717_729 the first occurence of "Semantic Web"
Do you suggest, that NIF URIs might be standardized by inclusion in the PROV-AQ ? Might work. It could be compatible.

Hello Sebastian,
Just a few questions - as you note, it is easier if we all use the same standards, and so I want to ask about the relation to other related standards:
- I understand that you dismiss IETF RFC 5147 because it is not stable
enough, right?
The offset scheme of NIF is built on this RFC. So the following would hold: @prefix ld: http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html# . @prefix owl: http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl# . ld:offset_717_729 owl:sameAs ld:char=717,12 .
We might change the syntax and reuse the RFC syntax, but it has several issues:
- The optional part is not easy to handle, because you would need
to add owl:sameAs statements:
ld:char=717,12;length=12,UTF-8 owl:sameAs ld:char=717,12;length=12 . ld:char=717,12;length=12,UTF-8 owl:sameAs ld:char=717,12 . ld:char=717,12;UTF-8 owl:sameAs ld:char=717,12;length=9876 .
So theoretically ok, but annoying to implement and check.
- When implementing web services, NIF allows the client to choose
the prefix: http://nlp2rdf.lod2.eu/demo/NIFStemmer?input-type=text&nif=true&pref....
returning URIs like http://this.is/a/slash/prefix/offset_10_15 So RFC 5147 would look like: http://this.is/a/slash/prefix/char=717,12 http://this.is/a/slash/prefix/char=717,12;UTF-8 or http://this.is/a/slash/prefix?char=717,12 http://this.is/a/slash/prefix?char=717,12;UTF-8
- Character like = , prevent the use of prefixes:
echo "@prefix ld: http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html# . @prefix owl: http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl# . ld:offset_717_729 owl:sameAs ld:char=717,12 . " > test.ttl ; rapper -i turtle test.ttl
- implementation is a little bit more difficult, given that :
$arr = split("_", "offset_717_729") ; switch ($arr[0]){ case 'offset' : $begin = $arr[1]; $end = $arr[2]; break; case 'hash' : $clength = $arr[1]; $slength = $arr[2]; $hash = $arr[3]; $rest = /*merge remaining with '_' */ break; }
- RFC assumes a certain mime type, i.e. plain text. NIF does have a
broader assumption.
- what is the relation to the W3C media fragment URIs? Did not find a
pointer there.
They are designed for media such as images, video, not strings. Potentially, the same principle can be applied, but it is not yet engineered/researched.
- any plans of standardizing your approach?
We will do NIF 2.0 as a community standard and finish it in a couple of months. It will be published under open licences, so anybody W3C or ISO might pick it up, easily. Other than that there are plans by several EU projects (see e.g. here http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-multilingualweb-lt/2012Jun/0101.h...) and a US project to use it and there are several third party implementations, already. We would rather have it adopted first on a large scale and then standardized, properly, i.e. W3C. This worked quite well for the FOAF project or for RDB2RDF Mappers. Chances for fast standardization are not so unlikely, I would assume.
We would strongly prefer to just use a standard instead of advocating contenders for one -- if one exists.
You might want to look at: http://www.w3.org/community/openannotation/wiki/TextCommentOnWebPage and the same highlighting here: http://pcai042.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~swp12-9/vorprojekt/index.php?annot...
NIF equivalent (4 triples instad of 14 and only one generated uuid): ld:hash_10_12_60f02d3b96c55e137e13494cf9a02d06_Semantic%20Web a str:String ; oa:hasBody [ oa:annotator mailto:Bob ; cnt:chars "Hey Tim, good idea that Semantic Web!" . ]
So you might not think in a "contender" way. Approaches are complementary. NIF is simpler and the URIs have some features that might be wanted (stability, uniqueness, easy to implement). This is why I was asking for your *use case* .
Note that: there are still some problems, when annotating DOM with URIs, e.g. xPointer is abandoned and was never finished. Xpath has its limits and is also expensive (i.e. SAX not possible). I think there is no proper solution as of now. All the best, Sebastian

Hello again, maybe the question, I asked was lost, as the text was TL;DR
I heard that, it is planned to track provenance of facts. e.g. Berlin has 3,337,000 citizens found here:http://www.worldatlas.com/**citypops.htmhttp://www.worldatlas.com/citypops.htm Do you have a place where the use case and the requirements are documented for this? Or is it out of scope? Will it be course grained, i.e. website level ? Or fine grained, i.e. text paragraph level? See e.g. how Berlin is highlighted here: http://pcai042.informatik.uni-**leipzig.de/~swp12-9/** vorprojekt/index.php?**annotation_request=http%3A%2F%** 2Fwww.worldatlas.com%**2Fcitypops.htm%23hash_4_30_** 7449e732716c8e68842289bf2e6667**d5_Berlin%2C%2520Germany%2520-**%25203%2Chttp://pcai042.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~swp12-9/vorprojekt/index.php?annotation_request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.worldatlas.com%2Fcitypops.htm%23hash_4_30_7449e732716c8e68842289bf2e6667d5_Berlin%2C%2520Germany%2520-%25203%2C
in this very early prototype.
Could you give me a link were I can read more about any Wikidata plans towards this direction? Sebastian

Dear all, (Note: I could not find the document, where your requirements regarding the tracking of facts on the web are written, so I am giving a general introduction to NIF. Please send me a link to the document that specifies your need for tracing facts on the web, thanks)
I would like to point your attention to the URIs used in the NLP Interchange Format (NIF). NIF-URIs are quite easy to use, understand and implement. NIF has a one-triple-per-annotation paradigm. The latest documentation can be found here: http://svn.aksw.org/papers/**2012/WWW_NIF/public/string_**ontology.pdfhttp://svn.aksw.org/papers/2012/WWW_NIF/public/string_ontology.pdf
The basic idea is to use URIs with hash fragment ids to annotate or mark pages on the web: An example is the first occurrence of "Semantic Web" on http://www.w3.org/**DesignIssues/LinkedData.htmlhttp://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html as highlighted here: http://pcai042.informatik.uni-**leipzig.de/~swp12-9/** vorprojekt/index.php?**annotation_request=http%3A%2F%** 2Fwww.w3.org%2FDesignIssues%**2FLinkedData.html%23hash_10_**12_** 60f02d3b96c55e137e13494cf9a02d**06_Semantic%2520Webhttp://pcai042.informatik.uni-leipzig.de/~swp12-9/vorprojekt/index.php?annotation_request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2FDesignIssues%2FLinkedData.html%23hash_10_12_60f02d3b96c55e137e13494cf9a02d06_Semantic%2520Web
Here is a NIF example for linking a part of the document to the DBpedia entry of the Semantic Web: <http://www.w3.org/**DesignIssues/LinkedData.html#**offset_717_729http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html#offset_717_729
a str:StringInContext ; sso:oen<http://dbpedia.org/resource/**Semantic_Webhttp://dbpedia.org/resource/Semantic_Web> .
We are currently preparing a new draft for the spec 2.0. The old one can be found here: http://nlp2rdf.org/nif-1-0/
There are several EU projects that intend to use NIF. Furthermore, it is easier for everybody, if we standardize a Web annotation format together. Please give feedback of your use cases. All the best, Sebastian
