Get your organization's feet wet with Semantic Web

Heard rumors about ‘the Semantic Web’, ‘Linked Data’, RDF, data graphs …or how some quack alternative approach should make all that data serve your business any better?

Well, if you are curious about breaking the code, then look no further! We intend to give you key footing, so that you can return home and actually begin to UNLOCK it yourself! Yes, that is a huge promise, but we happen to believe so, from experience.

Please note: We will NOT try to teach you «everything». This tutorial presents an adaptable and manageable cookbook recipe, just enough to remove the mystery.

One clue: If you have the chance then bring a colleague, – someone different from yourself. If you’re a business person, bring a techie – or vice versa. Why? For success, both profiles are required. André Torkveen works on making data more practically manageable for a growing number of Aker Solutions colleagues. Jens Kilde Mjelva and Magnus Stuhr implement solutions that enable the same thing, but work as a ‘hired guns’, on commission from Computas.

How to measure information and data quality
