Semantic Web Basics (half day tutorial)
Monday, 26th October, 8:30- 12:30
Abstract
Over the course of the past few years, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has ratified a number of standards for information sharing on the web that have come to be know of as the Semantic Web. These standards provide a smooth technology adoption path from basic information representation on the web up to a fully integrated web of linked data. This tutorial presents the basics of Linked Data, and shows how the W3C Standards contribute to the realization of this goal. This tutorial will be followed up by the Building Semantic Web Applications for Government tutorial.
