- Bahare is still working with the Marine Science group on getting their atlases updated.
- Linked open data is becoming quite important.
- It came up at the Hydra meeting this past week.
- Jeff has sent around the Linked Jazz project, which models data among people.
- Linked data uses URIs to name things.
- Uses RDF triples to create these networks - predicates or properties describe the relationship between a subject and an object.
- RDF often uses Turtle syntax as a language to annotate the data.
- Formality can allow for sophistication but it also makes things for complexity and can reduce interoperability
- Semiformal ontologies use the idea that "a little semantics to goes a long way."
- Sharing, reuse, and extensibility are guiding principles for the vocabulary in RDF.
- Foaf is for relationships among person entities - there are sets like this for seemingly every kind of relationship
- Groups sometimes coin proprietary terms to gain more specificity - using outside subject experts
- There will be another session on Linked Open Data again in a few weeks building off some of these principles.
