English Sorry, this is not a promo for a new MTV "reality" show. This session will show you how to use the wealth of Linked Open Data (LOD) resources being developed by such sites as DBPedia, Freebase, and MusicBrainz to augment the content on your site and link it to Semantic Web resources.
Linked Data is one of many principles and standards evolving in the Semantic Web world that your Drupal site can tie into via RDF, JSON, etc. Using (and becoming part of) the LOD world can offer a wide variety of benefits to the sites you build by drawing from data available in the cloud.
In this session we will show real working examples of using Linked Data on a Drupal site. This session will also show ways that you can expose your own data to the LOD world to help build the value of your content.
Some examples that will be highlighted include:
- Using resources from RDF & JSON enabled Linked Data sites such as:
- DBPedia
- Freebase
- MusicBrainz
- ...and more...
- Learn how to build:
- Build automated company profiles
- Display real-time financial data
- Profile Geographical areas
If you are serious about understanding the Semantic Web and how to integrate it into the sites you build, this session is a must.
