27. Data Driven Models

28. SEASR: Reach + Relevance + Reuse + Repeatability SEASR emphasizes flexibility, scalability, modularity, provides community hub and access to heterogeneous data and computational systems –Semantic driven environment for SOA interoperability –Encourages sharing and participation for building communities –Modular construction allows flows to be modified and configured to encourage reusability within and across domains –Enables a mashup and integration of tools –Data-intensive flows can be executed on a simple desktop or a large cluster(s) without modification –Computation can be created for distributed execution on servers where the content lives –User accessibility to control trust and compliance with required copyright license of content –Relies on standardized Resource Description Framework (RDF) to define components and flow

29. Enables Humanist To ask key questions: –What recurrent patterns would be of interest to literary scholars –Which patterns are characteristic of the English language and which are characteristic of a particular author, work, topic, or time? –Patterns based on words can be extracted from literary bodies; however, can patterns be extracted based on grammar or plot constructs? –When are correlated patterns meaningful? Can they be organized based on such criteria? –How can an author’s intentionality be assessed given an extracted pattern?

30. SEASR Enables Scholarly Research Discovery –What hypothesis or rules can be generated by the “features” of the corpus? –What “features” or language of the corpus best describes the corpus? –What are the “similarities” between elements, documents, or corpuses to each other.

31. Meandre: Infrastructure SEASR/Meandre Infrastructure: –Dataflow execution paradigm –Semantic-web driven –Web Oriented –Supports publishing services –Modular components –Encapsulation and execution mechanism –Promotes reuse, sharing, and collaboration

32. Meandre: Semantic Web Concepts Relies on the usage of the resource description framework (RDF) which uses simple notation to express graph relations written usually as XML to provide a set of conventions and common means to exchange information Provides a common framework to share and reuse data across application, enterprise, and community boundaries Focuses on common formats for integration and combination of data drawn from diverse sources Pays special attention to the language used for recording how the data relates to real world objects Allows navigation to sets of data resources that are semantically connected.

33. Meandre: Metadata Ontologies Meandre's metadata relies on three ontologies: –The RDF ontology serves as a base for defining Meandre descriptors –The Dublin Core Elements ontology provides basic publishing and descriptive capabilities in the description of Meandre descriptors –The Meandre ontology describes a set of relationships that model valid components, as understood by the Meandre execution engine architecture

34. @prefix meandre:. @prefix xsd:. @prefix dc:. @prefix rdfs:. @prefix rdf:. @prefix :. meandre:name "Limited iterations"^^xsd:string ; rdf:type meandre:executable_component ; dc:creator "Xavier Llora"^^xsd:string ; dc:date "2007-11-17T00:32:35"^^xsd:date ; dc:description "Allows only a limited number of iterations"^^xsd:string ; dc:format "java/class"^^xsd:string ; dc:rights "University of Illinois/NCSA Open Source License"^^xsd:string ; meandre:execution_context, ;... Existing Standards Meandre: Components in RDF

35. Meandre: Components Types Components are the basic building block of any computational task. There are two kinds of Meandre components: –Executable components Perform computational tasks that require no human interactions during runtime Processes are initialized during flow startup and are fired when in accordance to the policies defined for it. –Control components Used to pause dataflow during user interaction cycles WebUI may be a HTML Form, Applet, or Other user interface

36. Meandre: Dataflow Example Dataflow Addition Example –Logical Operation ‘+’ –Requires two inputs –Produces one output When two inputs are available –Logical operation can be preformed –Sum is output When output is produced –Reset internal values –Wait for two new input values to become available Value1 Value2 Sum

37. Meandre: Create, Publish, & Share “Components” and “Flows” have RDF descriptors –Easily shared, fosters sharing, & reuse –Allow machines to read and interpret –Independent of the implementations –Combine different implementation & platforms –Components: Java, Python, Lisp, Web Services –Execution: On a Laptop or a High Performance Cluster A “Location” is RDF descriptor of one to many components, one to many flows, and their implementations

38. Meandre: Repository & Locations Each location represents a set components/flows Users can –Combine different locations together –Create components –Assemble flows –Share components and flows Repositories Help –Administrate complex environments –Organize components and flows

39. Meandre: Metadata Properties Components and Flows share properties such as component name, creator, creation date, description, tags, and rights. Components specific metadata to describe the components' behavior, it’s location, type of implementation, firing policy, runnable, format, resource location, and execution context Flow specific metadata describes the directed graph of components, components instances, connectors, connector instance data port source, connector, instance data port target, connector instance source, connector instance target, instance name

40. Meandre: Programming Paradigm The programming paradigm creates complex tasks by linking together a bunch of specialized components. Meandre's publishing mechanism allows components developed by third parties to be assembled in a new flow. There are two ways to develop flows : –Meandre’s Workbench visual programming tool –Meandre’s ZigZag scripting language

41. Locations Components Flows Meandre: Workbench Existing Flow Web-based UI Components and flows are retrieved from server Additional locations of components and flows can be added to server Create flow using a graphical drag and drop interface Change property values Execute the flow

42. Meandre: ZigZag Script Language ZigZag is a simple language for describing data- intensive flows – Modeled on Python for simplicity. –ZigZag is declarative language for expressing the directed graphs that describe flows. Command-line tools allow ZigZag files to compile and execute. –A compiler is provided to transform a ZigZag program (.zz) into Meandre archive unit (.mau). –Mau(s) can then be executed by a Meandre engine.
