Culture Geeks is a community based in Brighton, UK, open to everyone who is interested in using digital technologies in the cultural sector.

In this talk we will explore how museums might get involved with the Semantic
Web, both at a practical level - what you actually do - and at the more
theoretical level - what do you achieve by it.

Talk: Adventures in Linked Data land

Date: 25 February, 8.00 p.m.
Location: Regency Town House, 13 Brunswick Square, Hove, UK. (map)

Richard Light describes his exploration of the Semantic Web's latest initiative, Linked Data.  He starts with a look at dbPedia, and considers the extent to which this approach offers a new paradigm for searching historical resources.

He then moves on to explain, in as much detail as you can bear, exactly how he has published a complete museum collection as Linked Data. Finally he offers his views on the potential relevance of the CIDOC CRM to Linked Data applications.
