Linked Data Tutorial by Semantic Web Austin

Linked Data is about using Web technologies to connect data that is related but stored in different locations. Linked Data techniques are increasingly being used by organisations worldwide to improve the portability, reusability, and interconnectedness of their data. This one-day tutorial will introduce the concept, principles, and key features of Linked Data; provide hands-on experience of creating Linked Data; provide a broad technical understanding of how to publish Linked Data on the Web, including the underlying design decisions that inform the publication process; and highlight some of the tools available for publishing and consuming Linked Data
