Since Tim Berners-Lee first wrote in detail about it in July 2006, Linked Data has remained something of a shadowy mystery for many. Yet, the principle is simple: you can add value to your information by linking it to that of others.

This ISKO UK one-day conference examines how this linking can be done using Semantic Web technologies like URIs, RDF and SKOS, and how real-world examples of Linked Data in action are here, now, and are growing.

The conference offers an opportunity for all information professionals and information workers to catch up with where Linked Data is now, where it is going, and why you need to know about it.

Linked Data: The Future of Knowledge Organization on the Web is a one-day conference organized by ISKO UK in collaboration with the UCL Department for Information Studies.
