Discussion participants should leave with solid grasp of what Linked Data is, how linked data applies to their work, and what sorts of environments does linked data manifests itself in. Participants will also learn the basic concepts of the RDF framework and SPARQL, a querying language for RDF. These two discussions will also cover common ontologies used in RDF, basic tools for querying RDF files, and how RDF can be represented in various formats such as XML format, JSON-LD, and Turtle.
