Linked Data

The World Wide Web made it possible to exchange documents and services on a global level - one can access and display documents from the other side of planet instantaneous, without prior agreement. Linked Data is a name for an effort to achieve the same for data - to make data accessible, usable, queryable regardless from where the data is coming from or what the contents is. Linked Data does not replace the the current Web. It adds instead an interoperable data layer based best practices, on open standards and technical components which define how data should be published and interlinked. The purpose of this seminar is to provide a conceptual and technical introduction to Linked Data and discuss individual approaches as well as state-of-the-art with regard to ….. An understanding of the basic concepts will then make it possible to discuss opportunities and challenges of Linked Data.
