Now that we’ve published nearly 10,000 of our tags as Linked Open Data , you’re probably wondering what kind of cool applications you can build with this data. To help you get started (and since linked data applications are a little different from your average Web application), we thought we’d provide a sample application and detailed information about how we built it. When the user selects the name of an institution from the auto-complete field, the application queries DBpedia for the NYT identifiers of all the alumni of that institution. These identifiers are then used to query the New York Times Article Search API for the ten most recent articles about each alumnus. Then we use a little jQuery magic to display and format these articles.

This post originally appeared on Talis Consulting Blog . Following on from the post I put up last talking about Linked Data training , I got asked what people find hard when learning about Linked Data for the first time. Delivering our training has given us a unique insight into that, across different roles, backgrounds and organisations — in several countries. We’ve taught hundreds of people in all. It’s definitely true that people find Linked Data hard, but the learning curve is not really steep compared with other technologies. The main problem is there are a few steps along the way, certain things you have to grasp to be successful with this stuff.

13 March 2009 20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he’s building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: Unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together. (Recorded at TED2009, February 2009 in Long Beach, California. Duration: 16:23.)
