Introduction to Linked Open Data for Visualization Creators on Datavisualization.ch - 0 views

  •  
    Last week ReadWriteWeb asked: "Is Linked Data Gaining Acceptance?" Our answer: definitely yes. Projects like DBPedia, a community effort to structure the information from Wikipedia and provide it as Linked Open Data, have come a long way and work really well. For example, you can search for all scientists born in Zürich, Switzerland.

YouTube - Tim Berners-Lee: The next Web of open, linked data - 0 views

  •  
    20 years ago, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. For his next project, he's building a web for open, linked data that could do for numbers what the Web did for words, pictures, video: unlock our data and reframe the way we use it together.

Week 3 LAK11 - Slackers report » Dave's Educational Blog - 0 views

  •  
    Ah… the semantic web. The saviour of the internet, and the evil empire enforcing its evil standardization upon my freedom. I've always been a little suspicious of this particular topic. Not that I'm opposed to any kind of stardardization, railroads and the lack of standardizations with bank cards at grocery stores come to mind (grrr…) But the semantic web and how data is 'linked' is pretty important to analytics. time to dive in.

Social Network Analysis - 0 views

  • Nodes that connect their group to others usually end up with high network metrics. Boundary spanners such as Fernando, Garth, and Heather are more central in the overall network than their immediate neighbors whose connections are only local, within their immediate cluster. You can be a boundary spanner via your bridging connections to other clusters or via your concurrent membership in overlappping groups. Boundary spanners are well-positioned to be innovators, since they have access to ideas and information flowing in other clusters. They are in a position to combine different ideas and knowledge, found in various places, into new products and services.

    Social network analysis [SNA] is the mapping and measuring of relationships and flows between people, groups, organizations, computers, URLs, and other connected information/knowledge entities. The nodes in the network are the people and groups while the links show relationships or flows between the nodes. SNA provides both a visual and a mathematical analysis of human relationships. Management consultants use this methodology with their business clients and call it Organizational Network Analysis [ONA].

Semantic Documents - 0 views

  •  
    SDArch - Semantic Document Architecture is our atempt to bring the vision of the Semantic Web to desktop office-like documents. SDArch aims at enabling desktop document data to be efficiently discovered, linked and shared across application, enterprise and community boundaries. It introduces 'semantic documents' as completely open and queryable resources, containing data which is uniquely identified, semantically annotated and understandable by both humans and software agents.

10 ways data is changing how we live - Telegraph - 1 views

  •  
    The majority of the information that we use in our daily lives is "dumb", or unconnected. The next step is "linked data", or data that talks to each other.
  •  
    The availability of new sets of data has changed the way we live our lives: here are 10 examples of data which have changed everything from how we assess wars to how companies deliver milk.

LAK11: Big Data Small Data « Viplav Baxi's Meanderings - 0 views

  • which data is more appropriate - BIG or small
  • most discussion about big data centres on quantity
  • other elements you mention – implication, new models, new decision making approaches – all flow from this abundance of data.
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Increased data quantity requires new approaches
  • Is small beautiful? Look at the following links. Big Data, Small Data New Age of Innovation (Prahalad) So you like Big Data
  • reading on Insurers and the work done by Levitt and Dubner on Freakonomics tells us clearly that data not earlier thought relevant or causal can be an efficient predictor.
  • Secondly, strategies designed on BIG data
  • may overpower small data strategies
  • Thirdly, BIG data also has BIG impacting factors.
  • Fourthly, actions taken on BIG data will have big consequences,
  • Lastly, if everybody, big or small, started using BIG analytics, to make decisions
  • companies would anyway lose the competitive differentiator that analytics brings to them.
  • Corresponding to the question, how big does BIG need to be, the question I have is - how small really is small.
  • defining patterns that emerge from very small pieces of data (e.g. synchronicity)
  • how tools for SNA and analysis of BIG data can apply to Learning and Knowledge Analytics
  • at the other end it embraces how small changes can cause long term variations
  • not easy to analyze the small data
  • data that is small enough not to be generalizable
