   1.      RDF – Resource Description Framework
           (Graph based Data)
              Identifies objects (URIs)
              Interlink information (Relationships)


   1.      Vocabularies (Ontologies)
              Provide shared understanding of a domain
              Organise knowledge in a machine-comprehensible way
              Give an exploitable meaning to the data

Editor's Notes

  • #24: Interoperability solutions for European public administrations
  • #30: All of the datasets that contain statistics at the time of writing (they were about 60)
  • #31: All of the datasets that contain statistics at the time of writing (they were about 60)
  • #33: Linked Data workshop at DRI’s Realising the Opportunities of Digital Humanities
  • #34: LSM (Linked Sensor Middleware): a platform that brings together the live real world sensed data and the Semantic Web. A LSM deployment is available at http://lsm.deri.ie/ . It provides many functionalities such as: i) wrappers for real time data collection and publishing; ii) a web interface for data annotation and visualisation; and iii) a SPARQL endpoint for querying unified Linked Stream Data and Linked Data.
  • #37: SCC (Super Stream Collider): Developed on top of LSM, SCC is a platform, which provides a web-based interface and tools for building sophisticated mashups combining semantically annotated Linked Stream and Linked Data sources into easy to use resources for applications.
  • #38: Messages: Finding the mathematics of biology; patterns and interrealtedness of biological entities Biological data in computational formats; automate data analysis and annotation is a dream which is not yet achieved Technologies that could help make such a dream reality; transform the www into a computational platform where read and write operations are supported and boundaries between knowledge systems are erased
  • #41: For years, RLE has offered online access via web interface &amp; web services. Main groups of users were government bodies and legal entities. Most common usage patterns are verifying existence of a legal entity and listing the CEO, board, etc. But also increating request for interoperability
  • #42: Understanding – No acknowledgement of information shared ● Interpretation – Terms not always used in right context – Non aligned vocabularies between disciplines
  • #45: Massive update in industry adoption ~400 suppliers Enterprise Software HP, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and Software AG Search: Bing &amp; Google Freebase, Refine, Squared &amp; Rich snippets Social: Linked In &amp; Facebook eCommerce Best Buy &amp; Overstock Publishing Thomson Reuters Standards OMG, ISO, W3W and OASIS Linked Open Data Interdisciplinary data set of 50B Facts Exponential Growth
