What?

1.  APPLICATION DOMAINS 2.  LINKED OPEN DATA 3.  ENTEPRISE 2.0 4.  THE WEB

CHARATERISTICS

LARGE VOLUME OF HETEROGENEOUS DATA

3 “V”S OF BIG DATA: §  VOLUME §  VARIETY §  VELOCITY

REMEMBER

THE LINKED DATA WEB IS NOT JUST ABOUT CONNECTING DATASETS, BUT ABOUT LINKING INFORMATION AT THE LEVEL OF A SINGLE STATEMENT OR FACT

Enterprise 2.0

“ENTERPRISE 2.0 IS THE USE OF EMERGENT SOCIAL SOFTWARE PLATFORMS WITHIN COMPANIES, OR BETWEEN COMPANIES AND THEIR PARTNERS OR CUSTOMERS”

- MCAFEE, MIT SLOAN, 2006

Enterprise 2.0 and the Web

MANY ENTERPRISES HAVE AN ONLINE PRESENCE ON VARIOUS WEB 2.0 SERVICES TO REACH THEIR CUSTOMERS:

TWITTER SLIDESHARE FACEBOOK FLICKR LINKEDIN ETC.

Social aspects of Enterprise 2.0

ENTERPRISE 2.0 INTRODUCES NEW PARADIGMS IN ORGANISATIONS WITH REGARDS TO KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND COMMUNICATION PATTERNS ADOPTION: http://strange.corante.com/2006/03/05/an-adoption-strategy-for-social-software-in-enterprise

Open-source applications

OPEN-SOURCE WEB 2.0 APPS CAN BE EFFICIENTLY USED IN ORGANISATIONS TO BUILD ENTERPRISE 2.0 ECOSYSTEMS: BLOGGING: WORDPRESS, ETC. WIKIS: CONFLUENCE, MEDIAWIKI… INTEGRATED CMSS: DRUPAL, ETC.

A Use Case: Enterprise Social Web

Information fragmentation issues

HETEROGENEITY OF PEOPLE, SERVICES, NEEDS AND PRACTICES LEADS TO VARIOUS SERVICES AND TOOLS BEING DEPLOYED

BY USING VARIOUS SERVICES (BLOGS, WIKIS, ETC.), INFORMATION ABOUT A PARTICULAR OBJECT (E.G. A PROJECT) IS FRAGMENTED OVER A COMPANY’S NETWORK

APPLICATIONS ACT AS INDEPENDENT DATA SILOS, WITH DIFFERENT APIS, DIFFERENT DATA FORMATS - DATA INTEGRATION CAN BE A COSTLY TASK

MEDIA

Bbc use case

CREATE HAND-CRAFTED, CUSTOMIZED SITES FOR THEIR PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE THEM 1000 – 1500 PROGRAMS AIRED DAILY ONLY SOME PROGRAMS COVERED DUE TO THE LACK OF RESOURCES

BBC INTERACTIVE VIDEO PLAYER FOR THE OLYMPICS

MOTIVATION

DATA VOLUME IS VAST TOO MUCH TO CURATE MANUALLY SERVICES: 1.  A STATS SERVICE, THE OLYMPIC DATA API

PROVIDING ALL OF THE SPORTS DATA: SCHEDULES, STARTING LINEUPS, RESULTS, RECORDS, MEDAL TABLES AND VIDEO LOGGING DATA.

THREE SERVICES

2.  THE DYNAMIC SEMANTIC PUBLISHING PLATFORM (DSP). THIS IS THE FRAMEWORK FOR CREATING OVER 10,000 ATHLETE PAGES, PLUS A PAGE PER EVENT, DISCIPLINE, COUNTRY AND VENUE.

3.  A SERVICE TO RECEIVE, PROCESS AND STORE DATA FROM THE OLYMPIC BROADCASTERS' DATA FEED (BDF).

BBC AND LINKED DATA

RESULT OF THE LONDON IO SUCCESS FUNDED TO EXPLORE LINKED DATA TECH FOCUSED AROUND FOUR AREAS: •  LOCATION •  EVENTS •  POLITICS •  RESPONSIVE DESKTOP

BBC AND LINKED DATA

STEP1: EXTRACT NAMED ENTITIES •  “LONDON”, “MR CAMERON” •  USE NLP (NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING)

STEP2: MATCH TO DBPEDIA CONCEPTS “LONDON” TO http://dbpedia.org/resource/London

SENSORS

LINKED SENSOR MIDDLEWARE

SENSORS PUBLISH SEMANTIC DATA LSM INTEGRATES STRUCTURED DATA FROM VARIOUS TYPES OF SENSORS TO PROVIDE A UNIFIED VIEW THAT IS EASY TO QUERY AND ANALYZE
