Linked Data Principles* • Use URIs to name things; not only documents, but also people, locations, concepts, etc. • To enable agents (human users and machine agents alike) to look up those names, use HTTP URIs • When someone looks up a URI we provide useful information; with 'useful' in the strict sense we usually mean structured data in RDF. • Include links to other URIs allowing agents to discover more things (*) http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html
Open Linked Data • over 100 open data sets, incl. Wikipedia, Geonames, etc., providing over 4.7 billion RDF triples, interlinked by approximately 142 million RDF links
LiDRC’s Research Themes • Publishing – creation, interlinking and deployment of linked data • Discovery – finding and using linked data • Application Domains – from specific content domains (software engineering, multimedia, etc.) to building applications on top of linked data • Streamed Linked Data – researches data stream such as news feeds, microblogging, RFID/sensor data, etc.
Services offered by LiDRC • Tutorials and consultancy regarding linked data publishing, consumption and usage • Infrastructure – we contribute to the linked data infrastructure in terms of vocabulary and tools development and work in W3C standardisation
Hot and Emerging Topics • Enterprise Linked Data • Realising the read-write Web of Data(pushback/RDForms) • Linked data enabled microblogging applications • Quality, provenance, trust
