linked open data
it’s the next phase of the web
it’s the transition from documents to metadata
it’s about meaning
it’s about linking things together
it’s about openness
it’s about time we did something ….
the meaning bit
What do you mean?
The King's Speech & the John Murray connection
Lionel Logue, speech therapist to King George VI, was introduced at Buckingham Palace by publisher John Murray.

Oh, you mean …

<person>Lionel Logue</person>, <occupation> speech therapist</occupation> to<person>King George VI</person>, was introduced at <place>Buckingham Palace </place>by publisher <organisation>John Murray </organisation>.
Lots of meaning …

we are quite good at meaning
and good things can happen when you are good at meaning….
the linking bit
We need to extend this …..
into semantic “triples”…..
subject
predicate
object
this thing
has property
something
this digital object
subject
tenements
date
1929
colour
black & whitepubsEdinburgh
place
To this, what a machine “understands”…

so that’s the linking bit
the open bit
we just need tolet the metadata go
and when you putmeaning
andlinking
andopenness
together you get ….
web 3.0
so what …. ?
• we’ve got great data about great resources• helps people find stuff in context• helps machines help people find stuff in content• multi-lingual• gets our metadata out of silos• allows others to re-use our data• it’s already started ….
where to start ?
• Manuscripts
• Digital Archive
• Scottish
