From ESIWiki
Date: 30 – 31 March 2001
Location: Appleton Tower, Edinburgh
Contents |
Abstract
Underpinning the scientific process is the transfer of ideas, knowledge and resources, and in recent years the Web has drastically altered both the nature and speed of this exchange. Recently the concept of the Web of Linked Data has emerged as a means to expose, share, and connect information on the Web identified by URIs using RDF as a data model. Examples include the data.gov.uk initiative which aims to expose UK public data, and bio2rdf.org, which provides an atlas of post-genomic data. However, the Web of Linked Data still suffers from many of the same problems as the Web of documents in terms of information quality, trust, attribution, privacy, etc.
This workshop aims to bring together key academic and non-academic stakeholders to:
- Identify what provenance dimensions (as identified by the W3C Provenance Incubator Group http://tinyurl.com/5v45f7h) are relevant to Linked Open Data;
- Identify additional provenance issues and challenges of Linked Open Data; identify a small number of relevant case-studies;
- Review existing provenance solutions that might be applicable to Linked Open Data.
Target Audience
This meeting is intended for academics, researchers and PhD students interested in provenance, industry, data archives, libraries, museums, government agencies (for example, the cabinet office transparency unit, ordnance survey) and others interested in provenance and linked open data.
