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.
