16. 2009/02/03Semantic Wikis and the Web of Data - Jens Lehmann, AKSW Leipzig16 Linked Data - Paradigm Use URIs as names for things. Use HTTP URIs so that people can look up those names. When someone looks up a URI, provide useful information. Include links to other URIs, so more things can be discovered. http://linkeddata.org

17. 2009/02/03Semantic Wikis and the Web of Data - Jens Lehmann, AKSW Leipzig17 Linked Data – Publishing RDF De-referenceable RDF-URIs, e.g.: http://dbpedia.org/resource/Busan Different HTTP response depending on HTTP- Accept-Header

18. 2009/02/03Semantic Wikis and the Web of Data - Jens Lehmann, AKSW Leipzig18 Benefits of using the RDF Data Model in the Linked Data Context clients can look up URIs in an RDF to retrieve additional information Links between different sources can be set (owl:sameAs, rdfs:seeAlso) Information from different sources merges naturally data model allows to combine information expressed using different schemata Model allows you to use as much or little structure as you need Provenance via namespaces

21. 2009/02/03Semantic Wikis and the Web of Data - Jens Lehmann, AKSW Leipzig21 Transforming Wikipedia into a Knowledge base Simple Questions – hard to answer: What have Innsbruck and Leipzig in common? Who are mayors of central European towns elevated more than 1000m? Which films are longer than 4 hours and had a budget of less than $1 Million? The information required to answer these is contained in Wikipedia! How can we reveal structure and semantics of Wikipedia content?
