Linked Data-a-thon http://iswc2011.semanticweb.org/calls/linked-data-a-thon/
I looked at the requirements for the Linked Data-a-thon, which include:
- make use of Linked Data consumed from multiple data sources
- be able to make use of additional data from other Linked Data sources
- be accessible from the Web
- satisfy the special requirement which will be announced on October 1, 2011.
It would not be hard to fashion a topic map application that consumed Linked Data, made use of additional data from other Linked Data sources and was accessible from the Web.
What would be interesting would be to reliably integrate other information sources, that were not Linked Data with Linked Data sources.
Don’t know about the special requirement.
One person in a team of people would actually have to be attending the conference to enter.
Anyone interested in discussing such a entry?
Suggested Team title: Linked Data Cake (1 Tsp Linked Data, 8 Cups Non-Linked Data, TM Oven – Set to Merge)
Kinda long and pushy but why not?
What better marketing pitch for topic maps than to leverage present investments in Linked Data into a meaningful result with non-linked data.
It isn’t like there is a shortage of non-linked data to choose from. 😉
