Every now and again I have a peek into the world of linked and open data. It’s something that generates a lot of excitement for me in that the possibilities are enormous but, as a non-developer and someone whose career has tended to circle around infrastructure architecture rather than application or information architectures, it’s not something I get to do much work with (although I did co-author a paper earlier this year looking at linked data in the context of big data<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Earlier this year (or possibly last), I was at a British Computer Society (BCS) event that aimed to explain linked data to executives, with promises of building a business case. At that event Antonio Acuna, Head of Data at data.gov.uk presented a great overview of linked and open data*.\u00a0Although I did try, I was unable to get a copy of Antonio’s slides (oh, the irony!) but one of them sprung to mind when I saw a tweet from Dierdre Lee (@deirdrelee<\/a>)\u00a0earlier today:<\/p>\n

[blackbirdpie url=”https:\/\/twitter.com\/deirdrelee\/status\/271567841797484546″]<\/p>\n

The star rating that Dierdre is referring to is Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s 5 star model for linked open data<\/a>. Sir Tim’s post has a lot more detail but, put simply, the star ratings are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"No<\/td>\nAvailable on the web (whatever format)\u00a0without an open license<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"One<\/td>\nAvailable on the web (whatever format)\u00a0but with an open licence, to be Open Data<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Two<\/td>\nAvailable as machine-readable structured data (e.g. excel instead of image scan of a table)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Three<\/td>\nAs for 2 stars, but in a non-proprietary format (e.g. CSV instead of Excel)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Four<\/td>\nAll the above plus, use open standards from W3C (RDF and SPARQL) to identify things, so that “people can point at your stuff”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"Five<\/td>\nAll the above, plus: link your data to other people\u2019s data to provide context<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It all sounds remarkable elegant – and is certainly a step-by-step approach that can be followed to opening up and linking data, without trying to “do everything in one go”.<\/p>\n

*Linked and open data are not the same but they are closely related. In the context of this post we can say that open data is concerned with publishing data sets (with an open license) and linked data is concerned with creating links between data sets (open or otherwise) to form a semantic web.<\/p>\n
