Meet-up: Practical applications of linked data
Linked data describes a method of linking data from the semantic web coming from heterogeneous data sources that can be interlinked and shared. So linked data realises its full potential as it can be connected to all other linked data.
Jan Top of the WUR showed how linked data can increase research into food quality by guaranteeing the quality of data. Wendy van Herpen from Unilever showed that linked data helps Unilever with internal and external exchange of data. It also helps to record taste improvements in food tests. Finally, Jasper Koehorst from WUR showed what linked data can mean for the storage, processing and sharing of genomics data. After the presentations there was time for talking and networking with a drink and a bite.
This meet up was organized by Campus Connect and Wageningen Data Competence Center.
