Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)

Abstract

This workshop is aimed at researchers and research support staff. No prior knowledge or experience is required. With Linked Open Data (LOD), data is offered in such a way that it is much easier and automatic to connect to other data. This makes the data richer and more useful to the user. This hands-on tutorial introduces the basic principles of LOD, how to create LOD and how to query it using the query language SPARQL. The focus example will be on cultural heritage data, but the basic principles are applicable to all type of data modeled as LOD. At the end of this session, you will know the basics about how to create and work with LOD. Learning goals: Understanding the basic principles of LOD, Creating LOD, Introduction to query language SPARQL.
