IAP 2010 Activity


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.
