Providing Linked Data

This slide presentation covers the whole spectrum of Linked Data production and exposure. It begins with a grounding in Linked Data principles and best practices, with special emphasis on the VoID vocabulary. It then covers R2RML (for operating on relational databases), Open Refine (for operating on spreadsheets), and GATECloud (for operating on natural language). Finally, the presentation describes means to increase inter-linkage between datasets, focusing on tools like Silk. NOTE: These slides represent material from several lessons that comprised a larger "module" of the EUCLID Project. As such, they cover a wider range of topics than most resources.
