Linked Open Data. What is it?

Why is it good for you 
as a memory organization?

Put your self in your users' shoes.

Say, you want to find out about

that paintings of Venus 
standing on a shell

You probably search on the word 'Venus'

You get a lot of results.
Venus, Venus, Venus...

And after a while,

you finally reach the right Venus
on the individual website.

but what if the web service could help you
from the start

first, by disambiguating your search

and then by connecting 
all kinds of relevant information

update dynamically
within the same web space.

Well, Linked Open Data makes this possible

Here is how.

Tim Berners-Lee 
the inventor of the World Wide Web

asked us to put our information
as documents on the Web

and so we did.

Lots of information today is available on
lots of individual websites.

And then, he saw the next step forward.

He asked us to put our information 
on the Web as raw data

because raw data can be linked 
to other data.

Then generates connection for the user,

and puts them in touch with 
a much richer network of information.

Let's make that happen.

You've got to do four things.
