Here Comes Everything: Preparing for the
Linked Web of Data

Wendy Hall
Nigel Shadbolt


11 January 2010
Chilworth Manor
Lessons learnt:

                   Big is beautiful:
            the network is everything (tbl)

 Scruffy works: let the links fail to make it scale (tbl)

        Democracy rules: open and free (tbl)

     Open, non-proprietary, universal standards

              But as the Web got bigger

Couldn’t find information easily just by following links
Mark Schueler, PhD student
Web 2.0
                              Blogosphere

Tomorrow the Web of Linked Data
We’re eager to share data for all sorts of reasons

What are the implications for business?

What are social and policy implications?

What will we do with it?

Web 3.0?
Linking Data
In a way that machines
can “understand”….

                                             <owl:Class rdf:ID="Conference">
                                             <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#Meeting-Taking-Place"/>
                                             <rdfs:subClassOf rdf:resource="#Publication-Type-Event"/>
                                             -<rdfs:subClassOf>
                                             -<owl:Restriction>
This is a type of object event and this is   <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="#published-proceedings"/>
                                             <owl:allValuesFrom rdf:resource="#Conference-Proceedings-

                                             </owl:Restriction>
This is the URL of the web page for the
event
This is a type of object photograph and
the photograph is of Tim Berners-Lee
Tim Berners-Lee is an invited speaker at
the event
Can mark up and link
any resource…

   •  Publications…
   •  Multimedia…              Web data set (XHTML)

   •  Databases…

Technical Principles
The four micro principles of the Semantic Web

1. All entities of interest, such as information resources,
real-world objects, and vocabulary terms should be
identified by URI references.
2. URI references should be dereferenceable, meaning that
an application can look up a URI over the HTTP protocol
and retrieve RDF data about the identified resource.
3. Data should be provided using the RDF/XML syntax
4. Data should be interlinked with other data.

A Tipping Point?

•  Berners-Lee and Shadbolt - HMG Information Advisors
•  Context - PoI Taskforce
•  Previous work with OPSI
•  Strategic Drivers
    –  Transparency and accountability
    –  Economic and Social Value
    –  Public Service Improvement
    –  New Industries New Jobs
Key Elemetns of our ToR
1.  Establish single point of access for all public UK datasets - data.gov.uk

2.  Specific proposals to implement and extend to wider public sector PSI principle
     –  Select and implement common standards for release of public data
     –  Select, develop and implement common terms for data where necessary
     –  Develop licenses - CC variants
     –  Support exploitation and publication of distributed and decentralised
        information assets
     –  Potential for reform of info regulatory framework
Progess to date
•  Top down
    –  Ministerial
    –  CIO/CTOs
    –  Engaged key data holders
•  Middle Out
    –  Civil Servants
    –  Inventory of Information
       Assets
•  Bottom up
    –  Engaging with developer
       community
    –  Cross Gov URI workshops
    –  data.gov.uk
•  Dissemination

•  Dissemination
data.gov.uk
•  Currently under development scrutiny and extension
   –  Over 1500 datasets
   –  Over 2000 registered developers
   –  The beginning of linked data
•  Beta service to be released 21st January 2010

•  Access to OS from April 2010

•  Clear schedule of release from Gov Depts thereafter
data.gov.uk

Why does this matter to you
•  Supports information interoperability
•  The Sum is greater than the parts
•  Exploitation of
     –  open data
     –  open standards
•  Can apply to data intranets as well as
   extranets
•  Publishing, news, media, content
   services, manufacturing, retail,
   supply chains, finance, all classic
   examples where there is
   heterogeneous information that could
   be shared, linked, mapped and
   enriched using this approach
Thank you

  • 17. Technical Principles The four micro principles of the Semantic Web 1. All entities of interest, such as information resources, real-world objects, and vocabulary terms should be identified by URI references. 2. URI references should be dereferenceable, meaning that an application can look up a URI over the HTTP protocol and retrieve RDF data about the identified resource. 3. Data should be provided using the RDF/XML syntax 4. Data should be interlinked with other data.

  • 34. Why does this matter to you •  Supports information interoperability •  The Sum is greater than the parts •  Exploitation of –  open data –  open standards •  Can apply to data intranets as well as extranets •  Publishing, news, media, content services, manufacturing, retail, supply chains, finance, all classic examples where there is heterogeneous information that could be shared, linked, mapped and enriched using this approach
