Workshop on linked data on the web, Lyon, France
16 April 2012 - 16 April 2012
France
A workshop on linked data on the web will take place on 16 April 2012 in Lyon, France.
The internet is continuing to develop from a medium for publishing textual documents into a medium for sharing structured data. Developments in this area are increasingly coming from companies, governments and other public sector bodies such as libraries, statistical bodies or environmental agencies.
In parallel, several large search engines have established an initiative to share a set of schemata for publishing structured data on the internet that focuses on vocabulary agreement and low barriers of entry for data publishers. These developments create a positive feedback loop for data publishers and highlight new opportunities for commercial exploitation of data.
The workshop will be a forum for presenting the latest research on linked data, including its deployment in different application domains. The event will also explore the motivation, value proposition and business models behind these deployments, especially in relation to complementary and alternative techniques for data provision and proprietary data sharing platforms.For further information, please visit: http://events.linkeddata.org/ldow2012/(opens in new window)
