This handbook discusses the legal, social and technical aspects of open data. It can be used by anyone but is especially designed for those seeking to open up data. It discusses the why, what and how of open data - why to go open, what open is, and the how to 'open' data.

"Semantically-Interlinked Online Communities Project (SIOC - pronounced "shock") is a Semantic Web technology. SIOC provides methods for interconnecting discussion methods such as blogs, forums and mailing lists to each other. It consists of the SIOC ontology, an open-standard machine readable format for expressing the information contained both explicitly and implicitly in Internet discussion m"

SWAT4LS aims at providing an open and stimulating environment that brings together researchers, both developers and users, from the various fields of Biology, Bioinformatics and Computer Science, to discuss goals, current limits and real experiences in the use of Semantic Web technologies in Life Sciences.

The OWL Web Ontology Language is designed for use by applications that need to process the content of information instead of just presenting information to humans. OWL facilitates greater machine interpretability of Web content than that supported by XML, RDF, and RDF Schema (RDF-S) by providing additional expressive power along with a formal semantics. The group's work is complete with the publication of OWL 2 (Second Edition). There may be new Errata and discussion on public-owl-dev@w3.org.

you can find documentation on our Universal Data Access (UDA) driver suite for ODBC, JDBC, OleDB and ADO.NET; for the Virtuoso SQL and RDF database; for the OpenLink Dataspace Application Suite; and for the OpenLink AJAX Toolkit (OAT).

The group was started at DrupalCon Barcelona 2007 and includes discussions on how to integrate the Semantic Web technologies into Drupal and list the various effort of the community towards enabling RDF in Drupal. Drupal 7 comes with native RDFa support in core. If you want extra RDF capabilities such as other serialization formats and SPARQL support, checkout the RDF Extensions, SPARQL and SPARQL Views contributed projects.

handbook introduces you to the legal, social and technical aspects of open data. It can be used by anyone but is especially useful for those working with government data. It discusses the why, what and how of open data - why to go open, what open is, and the how to do open.

Linked Data Applications This page collects information about (Web) applications on top of linked data. We discuss issues and ideas here and report on already available LOD applications ranging from low-level tools (mainly for developer) to applications targeting end-users (that is, your Granny). The page is part of the Linking Open Data

This is the main Wiki page for W3C's Semantic Web Interest Group Web Schemas task force. Amongst other roles, it serves as a public discussion forum for Schema.org, including Extension proposals

"The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a framework for representing information in the Web. This document defines an abstract syntax (a data model) which serves to link all RDF-based languages and specifications. The abstract syntax has two key data structures: RDF graphs are sets of subject-predicate-object triples, where the elements may be IRIs, blank nodes, or datatyped literals. They are used to express descriptions of resources. RDF datasets are used to organize collections of RDF graphs, and comprise a default graph and zero or more named graphs. RDF 1.1 Concepts and Abstract Syntax also introduces key concepts and terminology, and discusses datatyping and the handling of fragment identifiers in IRIs within RDF graphs."

SIOC (Semantically Interlinked Online Communities) - an ontology for describing data from online community sites. This includes but is not limited to: blogs, bulletin boards, mailing lists and newsgroups. In this wiki we keep information about SIOC and its applications. We also use it to discuss work in progress and the future of SIOC. You can also find guidelines on how to use SIOC and some general information and thoughts about the semantic web.

This weblog has been created for information and discussions between W3C and the Web community at large, as an informal companion to the news items on the W3C homepage. Announcements, issues on Web standards and educational materials among other topics will be published on this weblog.

Bibliographic Ontology Website This is the official Web site for the Bibliographic Ontology, known as BIBO (namespace: bibo). Here you may find the BIBO specification, examples of its use, links to news and blog postings, projects that are using or extending BIBO, and links to where the community discusses the specification and exchanges information.

"Friend of a friend (FOAF) is a phrase used to refer to someone that one does not know well, literally, a friend of a friend. In some social sciences, the phrase is used as a half-joking shorthand for the fact that much of the information on which people act comes from distant sources (as in "It happened to a friend of a friend of mine") and cannot be confirmed. It is probably best known from urban legend studies, where it was popularized by Jan Harold Brunvand. It was first published by Rodney Dale in his 1978 book The Tumour in the Whale, in which he discussed the "FOAFtale". The rise of social network services has led to increased use of this term."

a lot of buzz around Data Portability those days but I'm afraid that it will result in no-ending discussions with nothing concrete in a near future. I hope I'm wrong and I totally respect all those peoples way smarter than me which represent Big Actors of our actual Giant Global Graph. Besides that, my main priority is not data portability but data ownership, once we've got the power data we'll see how to share this with other applications and how to deal with privacy.

ARCOE aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners from core areas of Artificial Intelligence (Knowledge Representation and Reasoning, Contexts, and Ontologies) to discuss these kinds of problems and relevant results.

MISSION: To provide a forum for Web and TV technical discussions, to review existing work, as well as the relationship between services on the Web and TV services, and to identify requirements and potential solutions to ensure that the Web will function well with TV.

This book gives an overview of the principles of Linked Data as well as the Web of Data that has emerged through the application of these principles. The book discusses patterns for publishing Linked Data, describes deployed Linked Data applications and examines their architecture.

Enipedia is an active exploration into the applications of wikis and the semantic web for energy and industry issues. Through this we seek to create a collaborative environment for discussion, while also providing the tools that allow for data from different sources to be connected, queried, and visualized from different perspectives.
