Linked Data Preview
Jay Myers,
Every day we create 2.5
quintillion bytes of data
(equivalent to 3.4 billion HD
movies)
http://www.evolutionoftheweb.com
What if we could use these
webs of data as a global DB?
Linked Data
“A new form of Web content that is meaningful to
computers
will unleash a revolution of new possibilities” - TBL
Linked Data is:
A set of standards for publishing
and connecting structured data
on the web.
Linked Data
• Built on common web principles: HTTP, URIs,
hyperlinks
• URIs to identify data entities and
relationships between things
• Easily combine data sources
Linked Data Presentation at TDWI Mpls
Built on RDF
• “Resource Description Framework”
• Model for data exchange on the web
• Expresses relationships between things
The RDF “Triple”
Entity - Attribute - Value
or
Subject - Predicate - Object
Linked Data Vocabularies
• Schemas for the web of data
• Distributed over the web (via URIs!)
• Resolvable on the web for people to discover
and learn how to use
Popular Open Vocabularies
Name URI Description
Bio http://purl.org/vocab/bio/
0.1/

information about
people, both living and
dead

SPARQL nuggets
• With SPARQL you can query knowledge graphs
• SPARQL is to the Semantic Web and the Web in general what SQL is to
relational databases
• SPARQL is a W3C recommendation and is supported by many different
database vendors (no vendor lock-in)
• With SPARQL you benefit from the potential to make a collection of data
sources look and query like one big database
• SPARQL is also a standardized update and graph traversal language
• SPARQL allows you to explore data
• With SPARQL you can define inference rules to gain new information
from existing facts
“SPARQL is the new King of all Data Scientist’s tools”, Andreas Blumauer
Linked Data principles have
surfaced in many places
across the web
