The winning application of the KMi Linked Data Application Competition has attracted the interest of the ROLE project (Responsive Open Learning Environments – www.role-project.eu ).

DBpedia is a community driven effort that treats Wikipedia like a database, enabling people to do more sophisticated queries, distribute the open encyclopedia's data to the Web and add back to Wikipedia for the purposes of enriching it. In a blog post this week , the community showed again what makes the service a unique effort with the launch of the latest version of the technology. You can get into the weeds pretty quick with DBpedia when seeking to better understand how it functions. We see it useful to think of it in terms of context.

Government data UK: what's really been achieved? | News

"I think this project is doomed" - not perhaps what you expect on the front page of a website launched to huge fanfare a year ago today by Sir Tim Berners-Lee , the British inventor of the world wide web. One year after the Labour government launched the data.gov.uk portal, intended to provide a front door to a library of government data that developers in the outside world could use to analyse trends and create commercial services, there is disquiet that the initial enthusiasm has worn off and that civil servants are quietly blocking widespread release of useful information.
