Linked Data Workshop @ W3C
Last week, I attended the W3C workshop on Linked Enterprise Data Patterns. I gave a talk, together with my colleague Ryan McDonough (follow these links: position paper, presentation slides).
The workshop was very interesting, revealing a couple of things of particular interest (to me):
- I am not the only one frustrated by the fact that there is a lot of confusion between URLs as queries and URIs as identities (of resources/objects). This may seem like a small thing, but actually it is a real obstacle in the adoption of Linked Data.
- ROI of Linked Data in large organizations still unclear (as a perception).
If everything goes well, we will start some new work on clarifying what Linked Data applications will look like, and how to build them. Another small step towards my real goal, the adoption and deployment of Semantic Web technologies.
