  Linked Data exploration is an essential task in the process of understanding, assessing, and using datasets made available in the Resource Description Framework (RDF) format. Current solutions for exploration of RDF data are mainly targeted at Semantic Web experts, require non-trivial deployments, and do not scale to the increasing amounts of data published in RDF. The lack of simple, intuitive, and efficient solutions for exploring RDF data, especially for lay users, is the main motivation behind the work presented in this paper. We propose RDF Surveyor, an easy-to-use and lightweight tool for exploring RDF datasets. Its visual interface hides the intricacies of Semantic Web technologies from the user, while providing intuitive overviews of datasets, class navigation, and visualization of class instances. Furthermore, RDF Surveyor does not require any installation and can handle large datasets such as DBpedia. We provide a detailed overview of RDF Surveyor and illustrate its capabilities in two different scenarios. We also analyze the uptake, performance and usability of RDF Surveyor, showing its suitability for exploring Linked Data at scale.

  In clinical medicine, secondary research that produces systematic reviews and clinical practice guidelines is key to sound decision-making and quality care. Having machine-readable primary study publications, namely the methods and results of published human clinical trials can greatly improve the process of summarizing and synthesizing knowledge in medicine. In this short introduction to the problem, we provide a brief review of the related literature on various efforts to produce semantic technologies for sharing and reusing content from clinical investigations (RCTs and other clinical primary studies). Using an illustrative case, we outline some of the necessary metadata that needs to be captured in order to achieve some initial automation in authorship of systematic reviews and clinical guidelines. In addition, we list desiderata that we believe are needed to reduce the time and costs of maintaining these documents. These include linking provenance information to a much longer scientific investigation lifecycle, one that incorporates a single study's role all the way through its use in clinical guideline recommendations for patient treatments.
