Graphical User Interface for Silk-A Link Discovery Framework for the Web of Data

The publication of Linked datasets on the Linked Open Data cloud has been increasing. Only very few of these datasets are interlinked with each other. Lots of tools have been developed for making interlinking between linked datasets. Silk-A Link Discovery Framework is a tool that allows one to do interlinking between data items within different Linked Data sources. The Silk Linking Specification Language (Silk-LSL) allows the user to write a script for specifying conditions that need to be met in order for resource to be interlinked. The Silk- LSL file can be either written by manually or generated with the help of tools. The manual approach requires skilled users and hard work for manually discovering the classes and classes’ properties of the datasets that need to be interlinked. Hence, an automatic approach for solving this problem is needed. This thesis document proposes an application which guides the users through the process of specifying linking conditions during the creation of the Silk LSL program. The tool is called Silk Magic, and helps users in the process of creating an LSL file. The application provides various features for editing linking conditions. These features provide an interactive tree view for specifying the linking conditions that are required in order to generate the file. The Silk Magic application with its three main features: Similarity functions editor, Query Builder editor and Path Expression editor are the main contributions of this Master Thesis.
