Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab

Linked Data Challenge (Demos & Judging)
K. Krasnow Waterman
Tue Jan 19, 05:30-07:30pm, E51-396

Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Single session event

The next generation Web is all about data and how we can make better use of it for incredibly useful, game changing applications. Much more than a mash-up, Linked Data can be the mechanism to expose, share and connect pieces of data, information and knowledge anywhere on the Web. This event is the end of a weeklong Linked Data Development Lab (http://student.mit.edu/searchiap/iap-9813.html). Come see another exciting example of what folks in the MIT community can accomplish in a week! There will be live prototype demonstrations of the next big thing and, of course, judging and prizes.

Create and build a Linked Data killer app! Sir Tim Berners-Lee, creator of the World Wide Web, will kick off the week with his vision of Linked Data. This one week immersive workshop will include lectures on key linked data concepts and technologies. Participants will form multi-disciplinary teams of coders and entrepreneurs for a collaborative week supported by coaches with expertise in Semantic Web, Linked Data, product design, entrepreneurship, Web services and mobile applications. Working prototypes will be evaluated by a blue ribbon panel at the end of the week. Your team's result from this workshop could be a working prototype for an open source project, entry in the $100K competition, etc. Co-sponsored by Decentralized Information Group, CSAIL, and EECS.

Subject: Linked Data (Semantic Web) Entrepreneurship Talk
K. Krasnow Waterman
Tue Jan 12, 09-10:00am, 4-370

Enrollment limited: advance sign up required (see contact below)
Single session event

The next generation Web is all about data and how we can make better use of it for incredibly useful, game changing applications. Much more than a mash-up, Linked Data can be the mechanism to expose, share and connect pieces of data, information and knowledge anywhere on the Web. In this seminar, panelists will discuss their companies' business models for selling or using Linked Data and Semantic Web. As well as learning about the panelists’ companies you will get first hand perspective on various opportunities in the Linked Data space and how you might join the movement!

Note: This lecture is also part of the weeklong Linked Data Application Development Lab: http://student.mit.edu/searchiap/iap-9813.html; you'll want to come back to see the live prototype demonstrations on Tuesday evening, January 19.

Tim Berners-Lee, Father of the Web, Talk on Linked Data
K. Krasnow Waterman
Mon Jan 11, 09-10:00am, Room and Webcast TBD

No limit but advance sign up required (see contact below)
Single session event

The next generation Web is all about data and how we can make better use of it for incredibly useful, game changing applications. In this talk, the inventor of the WorldWideWeb, Tim Berners-Lee will present his vision for how we can connect related data across the Web that wasn’t previously linked. Much more than a mash-up, learn more about how Linked Data can be the mechanism to expose, share and connect pieces of data, information and knowledge on the Semantic Web. Discover the kinds of innovative applications that are already being employed, as well as opportunities for new applications that leverage disparate data sets in exciting new ways.

Note: This lecture is the kickoff for the weeklong Linked Data Application Development Lab, http://student.mit.edu/searchiap/iap-9813.html.
