EUCLID Module 3: The Production of Linked Data
This event took place on Monday 22 April 2013 at 14:00

 
Dr Barry Norton Solutions Architect, Ontotext


The third EUCLID webinar will cover the whole spectrum of Linked Data production and exposure. After a grounding in the Linked Data principles and best practice, with special emphasis on the VoID vocabulary, we will cover R2RML, operating on relational databases, Open Refine, operating on spreadsheets, and GATECloud, operating on natural language. Finally we will cover means to increase interlinkage between datasets, especially the use of tools like Silk.

Social Software is...


Social Software
Social Software can be thought of as "software which extends, or derives added value from, human social behaviour - message boards, musical taste-sharing, photo-sharing, instant messaging, mailing lists, social networking."

Interacting with other people not only forms the core of human social and psychological experience, but also lies at the centre of what makes the internet such a rich, powerful and exciting collection of knowledge media. We are especially interested in what happens when such interactions take place on a very large scale -- not only because we work regularly with tens of thousands of distance learners at the Open University, but also because it is evident that being part of a crowd in real life possesses a certain 'buzz' of its own, and poses a natural challenge. Different nuances emerge in different user contexts, so we choose to investigate the contexts of work, learning and play to better understand the trade-offs involved in designing effective large-scale social software for multiple purposes.
