Silent Disco: Introduction to Linked Open Data

16 Mar 2023, 14:00 – 16:00

ONLINE

Our 'Silent Disco' workshops are based on tutorials from the Programming Historian website. This training event will follow content from the tutorial Intro to Linked Data.

At the end of this tutorial attendees will develop a clear understanding of the concepts behind linked open data, how it is used, and how it is created. The tutorial is split into five parts:

Linked open data: what is it?

The role of the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)

How LOD organises knowledge: ontologies

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) and data formats

Querying linked open data with SPARQL

This is an self-paced event: when taking part, you will work through the tutorial at your own pace with an instructor available online to help you with any issues.

Participants will work on the tutorial at their own pace. The facilitator will be available via Teams Chat to reply to any questions that arise during the workshop, and to help with installation, troubleshooting or other issues.

This is a beginner-level workshop. No previous knowledge of the topic is required.

To attend this course, you will have to join the associated Microsoft Teams group. The link to join the group will be sent to attendees prior to the course start date, so please make sure to do so in advance.

After taking part in this event, you may decide that you need some further help in applying what you have learnt to your research. If so, you can book a Data Surgery meeting with one of our training fellows.
