This workshop, held during the International Conference on Semantic Web Business and Innovation (SWBI2015), has two main aims. One concerns stimulating synergies between the actors of Swiss Linked Data. And the other concerns helping people interested in the Web of Data to get a better understanding of the advantages and issues.

We target two audiences:

  • People currently working on Linked Data related projects
  • People interested in evaluating or implementing Linked Data technologies

Workshop content

  • State of the art presented by the different actors of Linked Data in Switzerland (e.g. data sets, schemas, data access, links to other data sets)
  • Discussions between those actors to share experiences and promote synergies (e.g. Linked open/closed data management, natural language processing, crowd-sourcing,  APIs,  SEO and schema.org, better data linkage between Swiss data sets)
  • Discussions between all participants, questions and answers
