Linked Open Data: Current State and Future Trends
Abstrakt: Linked Open Data is a set of simple principles for publishing and
accessing structured data on the Web. In this lecture, I will present these
principles and show you the motivation for publishing data in this way. There
are two interesting research challenges we will discuss in the lecture. First,
it is how Linked Open Data should be discovered on the Web by users such as data
journalists. Second, how the data published according to these principles should
be processed by these users who are not familiar with technologies behind Linked
Open Data (such as, e.g., RDF and SPARQL). I will present the state of the art
in this area and also research activities of my research group. Besides these
research topics, I would like to share with you also our activities in the area
of Open Data. Because having Open Data is a necessary predecessor of having
Linked Open Data. Therefore, I will walk you through our distressful journey
from Open Data ideas to their implementation in Czech legislation.
