Indian Statistical Institute Documentation Research and Training Centre Seminar (1) – 2012-14 Linked Data: Legacy Data discovery in Semantic Web Era Abstract The evolution of Semantic web from syntactic web has made data on the web machine processable and understandable. A more refined way to this technology is Linked Data, which transforms the web of documents into the web of connected data. Large amount of data is available in different file formats other than RDF, which are known as Legacy Data. RDF provides a framework to achieve Linked Data. So, in order to publish these data as Linked Data we need to extract and convert them to RDF without loss of information. This seminar, would try to explain the Linked Data technology stack and its working principles, highlighting some of its implementations like annotating text using DBpedia Spotlight and publishing legacy data as Linked Data using OpenRefine and Linked Media Framework. Finally it concludes with need for Linked Data in general with particular emphasis for Libraries.
