RDF (the Resource Des cription Framework) is a worldwide standard knowledge graph technology that has been around since 1999, but its uptake has been relatively slow. Newer , nonstandard graph technologies that arrived on the scene 10 years later a re seeing faster adoption. This, even though RDF is arguably better suited to web architecture and web scale, data integration, and automated reasonin g.
\nWhy is this?
\nI believe it is because RDF is perce ived as too complicated. It uses URIs as identifiers, is described in mostly formal (mathematically rigorous) documentation, has complicated-look ing XML serializations, etc.
\nThe goal of this session is to lower y our barrier of entry with RDF. While RDF does indeed have a formal bas is, and a great many useful and web-centric features, not all of these need to be understood or used to get started. In this session attendees wi ll:
\n\n Get hands-on with RDF (so bring your laptop!)\n Experience schema-less/schema-as-you-go modeling\n Rapidly build a knowledge graph\n Query the knowledge graph\n Get a taste for RDF's other valuable features like automated reas oning, data integration, and data reuse\n Most importantly, LEARN NOT TO FEAR RDF!\n\n DTSTART:20191014T083000 SUMMARY:Super-Easy RDF and Knowledge Graphs DTEND:20191014T114459 LOCATION: See Description END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
