 Collaborative and interdisciplinary modeling
› Initiated by SAP Research
› Roughly 2 dozens researchers contribute
› Spread over approx. 10 publicly funded research projects and 5 SAP Research locations
› Expertise from all SAP Research areas integrated
› Includes contributions of many project partners (FhG FOKUS, IAO, …)
› Include feedback and requirements from industrial partners (Siemens, Attensity, …)
› W3C Incubator group
› Linked-USDL community founded for broad and world-wide adoption and further development
by the community

15. What is Linked Data?
 A way of publishing data in the Web (URI, HTTP, HTML,XML/RDF)
 It‘s about linked data sets
 Web-scale data integration
 and building coherence
The FI-WARE Project – Core Platform for the
Future Internet

16. What is it about?
 Exposing data on the Web
 Enable applications to link data that wasn't previously linked
 Using Web to lower the barriers to link data (that is currently linked by
other methods)
Web as a single global Database
The FI-WARE Project – Core Platform for the
Future Internet

17. Linked-USDL Rationale
 Lower entry barrier
 Simplify the process of further development
 Reuse existing standards
 Use existing tools
 Link USDL information with existing information
 Bring USDL into the realm of Linked Data (leverage synergies)
 And easily publish it at different locations (The Internet of Data).

Future Internet

18. Standards Strategy
1. Establish a community for users of USDL (linked-usdl.org)
2. Support community to conduct show case apps and mashups
(providing the basic infrastructure for USDL apps such as repository,
discovery, editors,...)
3. Build USDL into products/services and solutions at SAP and other
partners.
4. Find industrial/commercial users (big companies), which support a
standardization.
5. Find the right standardization body or create one and facilitate
standardization process

Future Internet

19. Example: Cloud Services
Problems
•Countless offerings in the wild
•No coherent description of services available
•No common marketplace
•Comparison of offerings (price, SLA, capabilities, …) is very difficult for
users
Linked-USDL can help to put light into the dark and make Cloud offerings
more transparent to the consumer!

Future Internet

20. Cloud Vocabulary
• CPU Power, Memory and Storage
• IP Addresses and I/O Performance
• Data Recovery
• Availability and Service Level Agreements
• Cedit system
• Legal issues
• Support services
• Third parties involved
The FI-WARE Project – Core Platform for the
Future Internet

21. How to express in Linked-USDL
Generic USDL vocabularies:
•usdl-core
•usdl-sla
•usdl-price
Complementing domain specific Cloud vocabularies
•cloud vocabulary taxonomy, specific qualitative and quantitative non-
functional properties
•operating system taxonomy
•support vocabulary
