The semantic web is given a rough raking by the syntactic web, and it is not impossible to see why when you first get taken down the SPARQL/RDF/Ontology rabbit hole. It is not great fun learning to develop with the semantic web today. (As an aside, using a semi-SQL model as a primary metaphor in SPARQL did not help me personally. But then, SQL has always seemed like an assembly language designed by Prolog programmers)

Linked Data FAQ
Linked data is the first practical expression of the semantic Web , useful and doable today, and applicable to all forms of data. Sources such as the four principles of linked data in Tim Berners-Lee's Design Issues: Linked Data and the introductory statements on the linked data Wikipedia entry approximate -- but do not completely express -- an accepted or formal or official definition of linked data per se . Building from these sources and attempting to be more precise, here is the definition of linked data used internally by Structured Dynamics:
Le système d’information des entreprises est généralement un système fermé. Ce n’est pas forcément par crainte d’intrusion, ou de malveillance, mais parce que la philosophie de base du monde industriel est qu’il y a une vie dans l’entreprise, une vie en dehors de l’entreprise, et que la frontière entre les deux doit être simple: fermée, avec quelques points de passage bien surveillés, par exemple par une machine inventée par IBM en 1912 (l’horloge pointeuse) faisant office de système d’information, et une logique basée sur l’horaire qui permet de faire une barrière temporelle entre le dedans et le dehors. Bien évidemment, le monde a changé. Plusieurs frontières entre l’intérieur et l’extérieur de l’entreprise, entre la sphère privée et la sphère professionnelle, ont explosé.

[Summary: showcasing linked data for development project ] Over the past month or so I’ve been working for IKM Emergent on a demonstrator project to explore the potential implications of linked data for information management in the development sector – seeking put a small sub-section of the survey micro-data from the Young Lives longitudinal study online in order to explore the process and potential of generating linked data in development-focussed settings. The results of that project are now live and online for the time being, and accessible here . The most visually interesting part of the demonstrator (thanks to the work or Rupert Redington at NeonTribe ) is the Comparator tool which does some pretty clever things to identify ‘Data Cubes’ in the Young Lives linked data dataset we’ve published, and to offer (in the case of the smoking prevalence data) comparisons between the Young Lives dataset, and another comparable dataset we’ve also loaded into our Young Lives datastore.

Virtuoso Linked Data Deployment In 3 Simple Steps
Injecting Linked Data into the Web has been a major pain point for those who seek personal, service, or organization-specific variants of DBpedia . Basically, the sequence goes something like this: Inability to find robust tools with which to generate Linked Data from existing data sources such as relational databases, CSV files, XML, Web Services, etc. Install the Sponger Bookmarklet for the URIBurner service . Bind this to your own SPARQL -compliant backend RDF database (in this scenario, your local Virtuoso instance), and then Sponge some HTTP-accessible resources. Use the CVS import feature to import their content into Virtuoso's relational data engine; then use the built-in RDF Views Wizard as with other RDBMS data.ISKO–UK Linked Data Conference, 26/10/10, WRAP repository blog
This event, hosted by UCL, was one that I had been looking forward to for some time. Whether or not linked data is the 'next big thing' in web technology, and one that has to potential to solve a number of thorny problems for the administrators and maintainers of web resources in the face of increasingly complex demands, is a question that only time will answer. However as it stands at present linked data has enormous potential as a service and as a tool and I wanted to find out more before I started getting any awkward questions from stakeholders! The sessions on the day were a nice mix of technical and non-technical and my biggest fear of being lost before the end of the keynote was mercifully misplaced. Also very usefully the presenters not only spoke about the technology and standards underpinning the creation of linked data but also presented us with a number of real world example of things that linked data can be used to achieve.
Cette semaine une information a commencé à circuler sur le net: Météo-France libérait ses données ! Je me rendis donc, enthousiaste, sur https://public.meteofrance.com/ . Déjà refroidie par l’encart Données et tarifs , je décide de passer outre et après quelques minutes de navigation et de téléchargements de PDF, je découvre effectivement le lien - Observation France en format CSV - esseulé en bas de la page https://public.meteofrance.com/france/observations . L’IGN également annonce que leur RGE sera bientôt gratuit et accessible à toutes les collectivités . Deux initiatives (sic) qui découlent de la directive Inspire. Côté breton, un relent d’information avec un article de David Mentré qui interpelle Kéolis et Rennes Métropole sur leur licence d’utilisation des données : Pourquoi l’ouverture des données de Rennes Métropole est insuffisante ?

There are several different opinions and definitions on what data quality is supposed to be. Most of the time, we adapt the “fitness for use by data consumers” definition as defined by Richard Wang and Diane Strong [1] who investigated the subjective quality perception of data quality by data consumers. Although this research work has been a milestone in data quality research, in my opinion data quality is not necessarily always subjective. Imagine valid combinations of cities and countries or accurate population values.

So what can I do with the new Ordnance Survey Linked Data? « John’s Weblog
In a previous post I wrote up some of the features of the new Ordnance Survey Linked Data. In this blog post I want to run through a concrete example of the sort of thing you can build using this linked data. A while ago Talis built their BIS Explorer . The aim of this application was to allow users to “ identify centres of excellence at the click of a button ” and more can be read about the application here . This data mash-up took different data sources about funded research projects and joined them together using linked data. In the original application you could, for example, look at funded research projects by European Region in Great Britain.
