Linked data is full of promises, but its benefits have mostly been reserved for experts. If more people and organisations are able to link their data, they will be more visible, discoverable and easier to combine with other data among the web – take combining weather data with transport data if the weather affects our journey time, for example. ODI Members and software company OpenDataSoft will describe why it is important that more people can link their data together, and the impact this can have on the usage of their data. They will also introduce their new tool that helps data producers without little to no background knowledge to link data more easily, improving its discoverability and use. The talk may be of interest to anybody working with data and willing to improve its quality, visibility or discoverability. About the speaker Benjamin Moreau is a PhD student at the LS2N Digital Sciences Lab in Nantes while also working in industry at OpenDataSoft. His field of research is the semantic web and, more particularly, controlling usage in the web of data.
