EUCLID Module 1: Linked Data
This event took place on Monday 01 October 2012 at 13:00

 
Dr Barry Norton Solutions Architect, Ontotext


This module aims to provide a general overview of the main topics related to using Linked Data. It is only an introduction and some of the topics are only mentioned and then discussed in greater detail in one of the following modules. The main goal of this module is to describe the overall motivating scenario and to teach the fundamental Linked Data principles, while briefly describing the context of the technologies and possible application solutions.



The covered topics are:




  1. Motivation scenario


  2. Linked Data foundations (introduction to the underlying technologies - HTTP, URIs, XML, RDF, SPARQL)


    1. Evolution of the Web


    2. Web technology basics (HTTP, URIs)


    3. Describing and exchanging data (XML)


    4. Semantics on the Web


    5. Querying semantic data (SPARQL)




  3. Introduction to Linked Data


    1. Principles of Linked Data


    2. The Web of Data

Future Internet is...


Future Internet
With over a billion users, today's Internet is arguably the most successful human artifact ever created. The Internet's physical infrastructure, software, and content now play an integral part of the lives of everyone on the planet, whether they interact with it directly or not. Now nearing its fifth decade, the Internet has shown remarkable resilience and flexibility in the face of ever increasing numbers of users, data volume, and changing usage patterns, but faces growing challenges in meetings the needs of our knowledge society. Globally, many major initiatives are underway to address the need for more scientific research, physical infrastructure investment, better education, and better utilisation of the Internet. Within Japan, USA and Europe major new initiatives have begun in the area.

To succeed the Future Internet will need to address a number of cross-cutting challenges including:

  • Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness

  • Trust when government, medical, financial, personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection

  • Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated

  • Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities

  • Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices, and velocities
