Internet, WWW, Linked Data?
• Internet– 1970s– Network of linked computers – Protocols for communication
(TCP/IP)– Multiple applications
• World Wide Web
• Linked Data/Semantic Web
Tim Berners-Lee (aka Sir Tim aka TBL)
Invented the Web in 1989
Wrote the HTTP Protocol
Wrote HTML language
Wrote the first browser
Web of Documents (WWW)Linked Documents

• Linked Data/Semantic Web– 2001 Tim Berners-Lee– Application on top of Internet, – Smart Web of hyperlinked data,
information and knowledge– Standards / languages for
representing data, information, knowledge (RDF, OWL)
– Since 2007 “Linked Data”
Wat is Linked Open DataOpen data is about licensingLinked Data is about interoperabilityLinked Open Data combines the two
``a term used to describe a recommended best practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting pieces of data, information, and knowledge on the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF.’’ --Wikipedia
``Sharable, spreadable and nerd-friendly’’-- Charlotte S H Jensen, kulturweb
★ Available on the web (whatever format), but with an open license
★★Available as machine-readable structured data (e.g. excel instead of image scan of a table)
★★★ as (2) plus non-proprietary format (e.g. CSV instead of excel)
★★★★
All the above plus, Use open standards from W3C (RDF and SPARQL) to identify things, so that people can point at your stuff
★★★★★All the above, plus: Link your data to other people’s data to provide context

Examples of Linked Data
• Academia, Research• Community• Libraries, Museums, Cultural Heritage• Government and public institutions
(Open Data)• Media• Business
How does all this work?
• Data, not documents• Structured data• Graph data!• W3C Web standards stack
– URIs, HTTP, RDF, RDFa, RDFS, OWL, SPARQL, etc

Hands-on Session 1
• 15 mins
• Introduce yourselves to each other!
• Draw a social RDF graph of your group– Represent each member of the group– Give everyone a name– You know each other now, so you can connect to each other in
the graph– Add other data about yourselves:
• Hometown• University• Things you like (e.g., music, films, …)
