Objective

Linked/Open

Public/Private

What does prevent LOD publication?

2 dimensions

2 contexts

3

Page 4: Linked(open data)vsopen(linked data) lod2014roma

Linked Open Data

4

1.  use URIs 2.  use HTTP URIs 3.  use de-referentiable URIs,

using the standards (RDF*, SPARQL)

4.  include links to other URIs

But: what does it count as standard? As open? As linked?

Linked and/or Open Data

LOD

Page 6: Linked(open data)vsopen(linked data) lod2014roma

The Public Sector: clear process

acquire data

set open license

open formats publish

Page 7: Linked(open data)vsopen(linked data) lod2014roma

Public sector: simple process…

LACK OF MONEY

LACK OF WILLINGNESS

USE OF “STANDARDS”

… hard problems OPAQUE DATASETS

POOR RDF/SPARQL SUPPORT

The Private Sector: diverse uses of LD

as user: named ent i ty recogni t ion, content enrichment, machine linking, discovery search… as provider for the Public Sector: publishing, data integration internal use: e.g. assets management crafting of RDF artifacts for a particular application

Crafting RDF artifacts

Exploration API Search

The a r t i f ac ts /da tase ts produced are linked (they o f t e n r e u s e s t a n d a r d models) but not always inter-operable. Why?

Linguistic Analysis

Processing

Data Storage

Documents acquisition

Why companies’ RDF is not published

HENCE à OVERFITTING:

Provocation It would not be interesting nor usable

WAY OUTS: having more standard models for particular micro-domains could permit their direct (re)use by the private company

10

•  It often reflects customers’ needs •  It often reflects internal data models

Page 11: Linked(open data)vsopen(linked data) lod2014roma

Receipts

Public Sector: use “true” LOD technologies (RDF dumps or SPARQL endpoints) Private companies: use standard data models, internally and for their artifacts OpenData Community: please stress the linked in LOD!

The success of LOD is bound to the use of Linked Data as a technology The use of LD in the private sector will positively feedback on the diffusion of the necessary expertise and sensibility in the Public Sector too
