This document provides an introduction to linked data and the semantic web. It discusses how the current web contains documents that are difficult for computers to understand, but linked data publishes structured data on the web using common standards like RDF and URIs. This allows data to be interlinked and queried using SPARQL. Publishing data as linked data makes the web appear as one huge global database. There are now many incentives for organizations to publish their data as linked data, as it enables data sharing and integration in addition to potential benefits like semantic search engine optimization. Linked data is a growing trend with many large organizations and governments now publishing data.
![What is the Web?“… the Web, is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images […] and navigate between them via hyperlinks”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/01-linked-data-intro-110606101406-phpapp02/85/Introduction-to-Linked-Data-1-5-6-320.jpg)

- 2. What is the Semantic Web?
- 3. What is the Semantic Web?
- 6. What is the Web?“… the Web, is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images […] and navigate between them via hyperlinks”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web
- 7. Current Web = internet + links + docs
- 8. History of the WebCreated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989Mosaic browser in 1993W3C created in 1994Exponential growth mid 90sAmazon, Ebay – 1995Search engines – Google 1998Dot-com boom 1997 – 2001Web 2.0 – blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc
- 9. What is the problem?
- 10. WHAT’S THE WEATHER IN SAN FRANCISCO TODAY?
- 14. What is the problem?The web is full of documentsWe aren’t always interested in documentsWe are interested in THINGSThese THINGS might be in documentsWe can read a HTML document rendered in a browser and find what we are searching forThis is hard for computers. Computers have to guess (even though they are pretty good at it)
- 15. The Web is a Data ShredderStructured DataUnstructured DataThanks Martin Hepp
- 16. What would we like?Make it easy for computers/software to find THINGSDo you SEARCH or do you FIND?
- 17. Search forFootball Players who went to the University of Texas at Austin, played for the Dallas Cowboys as Cornerback
- 21. Why can’t we just FIND it…
- 24. Guess how I FOUND out?
- 25. On a Semantic WebBesides publishing documents on the webwhich computers can’t understand easilyLet’s publish on the web something that computers can understandDATA
- 26. The Semantic Web is a web of linked dataThe current web is a web of linked documents
- 27. But wait… doesn’t the web already have data?
- 28. Current Data on the WebRelational DatabasesAPIsXMLCSVXLS…Can’t computers and applications already consume that data on the web?
- 29. Yes! But it is all in different formats and data models!
- 30. This makes it hard to integrate data
- 31. The data in different data sources aren’t linked
- 32. For example, how do I know that the Juan Sequeda in Facebook is the same as Juan Sequeda in Twitter
- 33. Or if I create a mashup from different services, I have to learn different APIs and I get different formats of data back
- 34. Data is Siloed
- 35. Wouldn’t it be great if we had a standard way of publishing data on the Web?
- 36. We have a standardized way of publishing documents on the web, right?HTML
- 37. Then why can’t we have a standard way of publishing data on the Web?
- 38. Good question! And the answer is YES. There is!RDF
- 39. Resource Description Framework (RDF)A data model A way to model datai.e. Relational databases use relational data modelRDF is a triple data modelLabeled GraphSubject, Predicate, Object<Juan> <was born in> <California><California> <is part of> <the USA><Juan> <has hobby> <Salsa dancing>
- 40. RDF can be serialized in different waysRDF/XMLRDFa (RDF in HTML)N3TurtleJSON
- 41. So does that mean that I have to publish my data in RDF now?
- 42. You don’t have to… but we would like you to
- 43. An example
- 44. Document on the Web
- 45. Databases back up documentsTHINGS have PROPERTIES:A Book as a Title, an author, …This is a THING:A book title “Programming the Semantic Web” by Toby Segaran, …

- 54. Data on the Web that is in RDF and is linked to other RDF data is LINKED DATA
- 55. Linked Data PrinciplesUse URIs as names for thingsUse HTTP URIs so that people can look up (dereference) those names.When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information.Include links to other URIs so that they can discover more things.
- 56. Linked Data makes the web appear as ONEGIANTHUGEGLOBALDATABASE!
- 57. I can query a database with SQL. Is there a way to query Linked Data with a query language?
- 58. Yes! There is actually a standardize language for thatSPARQL
- 59. FIND all the reviews on the book “Programming the Semantic Web” by people who live in Austin

- 62. This looks cool, but let’s be realistic. What is the incentive to publish Linked Data?
- 63. What was your incentive to publish an HTML page in 1990?
- 64. 1) Share data in documents2) Because you neighbor was doing it… later on …3) Marketing, Advertising, SEO
- 65. So why should we publish Linked Data in 2011?
- 66. 1) Share data as data2) Because you neighbor is doing it…3) (Semantic) SEO ++
