  3. A Network of Data and Knowledge Interconnected Universal All encompassing assists humans, organisations and systems with problem solving enabling innovation and increased productivity

  4. Linked Data: Two Key Ingredients • RDF – Graph based Data • Identifies objects (URIs) • Interlink information (Relationships) • Vocabularies (Ontologies) • provide shared understanding of a domain • organise knowledge in a machine-comprehensible way • give an exploitable meaning to the data

  5. Why Graphs and Ontologies?Linked Data! Cities:Dublin Geo:hasLargestCity Wikipedia.org 84421km2 Geo:IslandOfIreland Geo:hasCapital Geo:area Geo:locatedOn EU:RepublicOfIreland EU:RepublicOfIreland Gov:hasDepartment Gov.ie Gov:hasTaoiseach Person:BrianCowen IE:DepartmentOfFinance

Linked Open Data cloud - domains BestBuy Overstock.com Facebook http://lod-cloud.net/ Over 200 open data sets with more than 25 billion facts,interlinked by 400 million typed links, doubling every 10 month!

  26. LATC:EC Governmental Datasetshttp://latc-project.eu/ • Will focus on three domains: business-related data, legal data, and data about European institutions • Publish 20 datasets produced by European institutions with an expected volume of over 10 billion triples and 100 million links, such as: • Eurostat • CORDIS • European Job Mobility Portal • Euro-LEX • … “To create an in-depth test-bed for data intensive applications concerning EC governmental data.”

  27. driving Web standards

  28. Standardisation • eGovernment Interest Group (eGov IG)http://www.w3.org/2007/eGov/IG/ “The mission of the eGov IG is to explore how to improve access to government through better use of the Web and achieve better government transparency using open Web standards at any government level (local, state, national and multi-national)”

  29. Standardisation • Projects http://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/Projects • Outreach • Demonstration • Best Practices for Using Web Technologies to Deliver Government Services • Best Practices for Government Data Management • Best Practices for Government Use of Social Media • Data Catalog Vocabulary task forcehttp://www.w3.org/egov/wiki/Data_Catalog_Vocabulary
