Dear Subscriber !

The question, whether there is a sustainable and solid business model beneath Linked Data and the Semantic Web is key for further investments in this technology stack. In previous editions of this newsletter we have reported about good examples and bad practices, too.

As Linked (Open) Data matures over the years, the clearer the picture has become how to establish a solid economic basis for the Semantic Web. In this newsletter you will read about some insightful thoughts on Semantic Web's business values and you'll get some flash-lights on how a specific domain is conquering the LOD stage: galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (aka GLAM).

With best regards,
Thomas Thurner

Linked Data for the Environmental Sector

 
 
Organizations working in the environmental sector most often act as intermediates between politics, economy and citizens. They are growing out of their role as plain content providers. To service the demands of their stakeholders they have to act also as data and tool providers for their respective communities.

In June SWC's webinar introduces several good practice examples achieving data governance in using the linked open data paradigms for this sector.
