1. INSIGHT is a €80m research center funded from 2013-2019 that brings together over 60 PIs and 300 researchers across 5 research centers and 6 institutions in Ireland. 2. The research focuses on developing a "Network of Knowledge" through linking open data using semantic web technologies like RDF and ontologies to create a universal, interconnected knowledge graph. 3. One goal is to accelerate innovation by applying linked data approaches to domains like digital humanities, life sciences, and connected health.

- 7. Two Key Ingredients www.insight-‐centre.org 1. RDF – Resource Description Framework Graph based Data – nodes and arcs – Identifies objects (URIs) – Interlink information (Relationships) 2. Vocabularies (Ontologies) – provide shared understanding of a domain – organise knowledge in a machinecomprehensible way – give an exploitable meaning to the data 7 of 46
