5 starLinked Data? • Sir Tim Berners Lee (2010) • “Thisyear, in ordertoencouragepeople- especiallygovernment data owners - alongtheroadtogoodlinked data, I havedeveloppedthisstar rating system” • Details @ http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html • Purpose of thistalk • Introduce this rating system in ourcontext • We’ve come partway !!! • ExemplifiedwithdatasetsfromSpain • Presenttwo 5 starLinked Data sites in Spainrelatedto SDI nodes • Present a 5 starLinked Data recipefor INSPIRE data
1 Star • Makeyourstuffavailableonthe Web (whateverformat) underan open license. MTN50 catographicgrid Map of MTN50 catographicgrid Gazetteer Boundaries National Reference GeographicEquipment Public data, requiredattribution
2 Star • Makeitavailable as structured data (e.g., ESRI Shapefileinstead of imageportrayal of data). Map of MTN50 catographicgrid in png
3 Star • Use non-proprietaryformats (e.g., WKT instead of ESRI Shapefile, CSV instead of Access). MTN50 cartographicgridavailable in WKT and ESRI Shapefile Gazetteeravailableonly in Access format Boundariesavailableonly in ESRI Shapefileformat
4 Star (no way?) • Use URIstoidentifythings, so thatpeople can point at yourstuff (native use of RDF isnotrequired) MTN50 gridnotpublished as RDF GeoLinkedData.es initiativemakes availablethis data as RDF
5 Star • Link your data toother data toprovidecontext.
5 Star + Metadata • Forgovernement data, thereshould be metadataaboutthe data itself (e.g. provenance, rights).
5 Star + Metadata + Data registry • Forgovernement data, theirmetadatashould be availablefromanofficialregistry (e.g. catalogue).
5 Star + Metadata + Data registry + Infrastructure • Forgovernment data, thepreviousstepsrequire a coordinate series of agreementsontechnologystandards, institutionalarrangements, and policies.

Conclusions- Do’s and don’tsaboutLinked Data- 5 starrecipefor INSPIRE data
Conclusions: do’s and don’tsaboutLinked Data • Do • Publish valuable data • Pick persistent URIs for naming things • Dereference URIs to representations’ URLs • Put metadata giving license and provenance • Use RDF formats for data transmission in addition • Use SPARQL for data and metadata access • Keep simple • Integrate with existing systems • Don’t • Publishallyour data • Publishoutdated data • Publishwithoutexplicitlicense • Hide data behindformsorapplications • Publish data only in propietaryformats • Waituntilyouhave a complete ontology • Seektoreplaceexistingsystems
