Linked Data tutorial at WWW2007

Further sketchy notes with all the spelling error goodness from WWW2007: this time from the Linked Data tutorial as part of the developer track. Check other of my posts on Open Data that are related to this.

Tim Berners-Lee (W3C): Tabulator: A Semantic Web Browser (slides)
- basics about Semantic Web (RDF, …)
- Tabulator allows getting data from different sources together
- while RDF is a graph, can be outputted as tables
- allows instant mashups, e.g. using maps, timeline
- if XSLT transformation is provided any XML dialect can be integrated
- allows easy browsing of linked data

Christian Bizer (FU Berlin): Querying Wikipedia Like a Database
- DBpedia applies concept of LD to WP
- turn structured information of WP into RDF w/ open license
- and interlink with other data sources
- structured info: categorization, info boxes, inter{wiki,language}links, …
- leading to 1.6 mio concepts represented as 93 mio triples
- includes multilingual short and long abstracts
- access as SPARQL, Linked Data Interface, RDF dumps
- enabling advanced queries
- all concepts are identified as URIs
- searching of WP gets improved
- embedding WP information on webpage is easy and uptodate
- interlinking-hub for emerging web of data
- W3C SWEO Linking Open Data Project
- the Open Data movement is getting big fast

Tom Heath (KMi, The Open University): How to Combine the Best of Web2.0 and a Semantic Web: Examples from Revyu.com
- the linked data web is here
- a Web 2.0 and SW peace and love message
- integrating different soc’ networks
- open APIs? even better exposing data using SW technologies
- Web 2.0 to the rescue to make writing RDF/SW easier
- free data from walled data gardens
