Opportunities Data organized for associations.
Data prepared for not yet defined use.
Data ready for automation where computers can
function alongside us to:
Mitigate the complexity in discovering, accessing,
connecting and interpreting information.
Improve the productivity in managing
information.
Semantic Web Standard Stack
RDF Triples
Resource Description Framework (RDF)
A general model of how any piece of data, and
representations of knowledge, can be expressed as
so called triples.
subject predicate
Stockholm place
Stockholm Sweden
Stockholm Port cities in Sweden
Stockholm “+46-8”
object (or value)
type
capital
subject
areaCode
“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm” primaryTopic Stockholm
RDF Triples
Triples can be aggregated into graphs with subject
and objects as nodes, and predicates as arcs.
City
Sweden
Stockholm Port cities in Sweden
“+46-8”

RDF Triples
Graphs of triples can be extended across different
sources and for different purpose.

RDF Triples
RDF Schema and the RDF based Web Ontology
Language (OWL) add a typing mechanism to
classify subjects and objects into hierarchies.

4 Principles for Linked Data … … and 5 stars for Linked Open Data
• Use URIs (Uniform Resource Identifiers) as names for things.
• Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up (dereference) those names.
• When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information.
• Include links to other URIs so that they can discover more things.

I’m encouraged by …
• … what actually can be done by applying Linked
Data principles, together with a stepwise
implementation and pragmatic application of
crucial building blocks, to …
• … improve the research and commercial
utility of information
• Organized for associations
• Prepared for not yet defined use
• Ready for automation where computers can
function alongside us to
Mitigate the complexity in discovering,
accessing, connecting and interpreting
information
Improve the productivity in managing
information
