Useful Data Sets

  • Dbpedia: RDF descriptions of everything that has a

Wikipedia page <http://dbpedia.org/>

  • Geonames: data set about geographic locations,

with RDF descriptions <http://geonames.org/>

  • owl:sameAs links exist between many places that

feature in both DBpedia and Geonames

Anatomy of a Simple Linked Data Application

  • 1. Look up a URI (HTTP GET)
  • 2. Receive some RDF data in response

(maybe via a redirect)

  • 3. Do something useful with the data
  • 4. Inspect the data for links to related things
  • 5. Look up the URIs of related things
  • 6. Go to Step 2.

Linked Data Hands-On Session

  • Build a simple city guide based on existing Linked

Data sources

  • Start with a seed URI for a city of your choice
  • Populate a SimpleGraph object with data retrieved

by looking up this URI

  • Look for outgoing links in the data
  • Look these up and add the resulting data to your

SimpleGraph / Thing object

  • Show some/all of the data you have retrieved as a

Web page city guide
