In the past two years, the amount of data published on the Web as RDF and following the Linked Data principles has increased dramatically. Every day people are publishing datasets as Linked Data. However, applications that consume Linked Data are not mainstream yet. This talk will give a brief introduction to Linked Data and present different techniques in which users can currently consume Linked Data. We will also present existing applications that consume Linked Data.
Juan F. Sequeda is a graduate student in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Texas at Austin. Juan is a recipient of the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship. His research focuses on the automatic integration of relational databases to the Semantic Web. He is an invited expert on the W3C RDB2RDF working group. Juan has also been an invited researcher at the Ontology Engineering Group of the Universidad Politecnica de Madrid. Juan organized the "How to Consume Linked Data tutorial" at ISWC2009 and WWW2010 and also the 1st Linked Data-a-thon co-located at ISWC2009, which was the first event to present applications that consumed Linked Data. He is currently the co-chair of the 3rd Triplification Challenge and the 1st International Workshop on Consuming Linked Data, co-located at ISWC2010.
