Linked Data Advanced

Linked Data Advanced
Abstract: 

Linked Data is a web based approach to publish information in a structured way so that it can be interlinked with other information on the web, and thus become more useful. Rather than using web pages for humans to be read, information is presented in such a way that it can be read automatically by computers. This enables data from different sources to be linked and used together. The collection of Semantic Web technologies (RDF, OWL, SKOS, SPARQL, etc.) provides an environment in which applications can query the data, draw inferences using vocabularies, etc.

This seminar introduces the main principles of Linked Data, the underlying technologies and background standards, and how it may be applied in SDI contexts. It provides an overview of how data can be published as linked data (RDF), explains the role of vocabularies and Uniform Resource Identifiers. The module consists of shorter lectures and hands-on exercises. The reading material can be downloaded from the internet in the form of a web lecture
