Structured Data = Data organized by a hierarchy or schema.Can be organized and searched.Linked Data = Publishing structured data so it can be accessedat a URI.Semantic Web = The web of globally accessible, interlinkeddata.Linked Open Data = A cloud of linked data sites that promoteopen standards and linking to one another Basic Overview of what the ‘semantic web’ is

So where are the search engines at with the semantic web?@MatthewJbrown

Google Knowledge Graph = Nothing New. More emphasis.

Don’t sleep on Facebook. They’ve got a huge open graph of data

Open Graph SchemaProtip: Use Open Graph Markup in addition to schema, etc.

Getting started with semantic tech@MatthewJbrown

http://www.seoskeptic.com/seo-semantic-web/ Great overview of the Semantic Web hereLinked Data is stored in RDF. These are called ‘triples.’

http://www.amazon.com/Learning-SPARQL-Bob-DuCharme/dp/1449306594 SPARQL is the query language for RDF data

http://richard.cyganiak.de/2007/10/lod/lod-datasets_2011-09-19_colored.html - Linking Open

http://www.kasabi.com- Data Marketplace for using and publishing linked data

Example of how to use a food-related SPARQL query on a Kasabi dataset

Many APIs are available on Kasabi, for ease of use with some datasets

No Data Format specified yet, but it’ll probably have a SPARQL endpointBe on the lookout for new linked datasets

Drupal has functionality to consume and publish RDF data. Guide to getting up and running at: http://semantic-drupal.com/
