Linked Data Session Notes

The linked data conversation that took place in Room C301 offered an interesting look at the value and creation of linked data, tools, content and implications. The links below are resources that were discussed in the session. Enjoy!

• Linked data – an interesting resource offering background on what linked data is, means and can do. linkeddata.org/, linkeddata.org/guides-and-tutorials

• Freebase – a tool for creating a socially-constructed repository of linked data projects. www.freebase.com/

• Open library – A repository that allows visitors to look up data about books, compare contrast editions, in some cases even read the book online. www.openlibrary.org, upstream.openlibrary.org
• Tim Berners-Lee: The year open data went worldwide

If I’ve missed links that you’d like to include, e-mail me or catch me on Zwitschern and I’ll happily add them.
