This workshop provides an introduction to Linked Open Data/Knowledge Graphs including linked data principles and practices. What makes Linked Data different? What is RDF? What is SPARQL? How are they used? What is Wikidata and how could it make a difference for your collections? Where do knowledge graphs fit relative to AI approaches?

I recommend participants bring a laptop or tablet with web browser for some class exercises creating and sharing linked data.

Participants will:

• understand the rationale for linked data & knowledge graphs

• see how linked data is based on web standards

• be introduced to core concepts for knowledge graphs

• be shown how linked data can be created from tabular data

• explore real-world examples

• participate in a hands-on exercise creating, sharing, and querying linked data
