Linked Data

Everyone understands the Web as a platform, but not as many can see the thread that connects the Web to APIs to linked interoperable data models. In this design workshop, we will investigate the properties of the Web and how they can be applied to data, documents, services and concepts as the basis of truly spectacular vision for information interchange.

We will start with the basics and build up to flexible, evolvable data models and everything in-between.

Topics will include

  • REST and Hypermedia
  • LinkedData
  • JSON-LD
  • SPARQL
