Ten years ago, what is called the Semantic Web came to existence.<\/p>\n<p>The vision of this Semantic Web was to publish data in an abstract format to make it easily processed by computers, and link data sets together to fully exploit the relationships between these data sets. In this talk, I give an overview of the history of representing data before the Semantic Web, what the Semantic Web is all about, its state now, the challenges facing achieving its full potential, and briefly discuss my contributions to overcoming these challenges.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date:\u00a0Nov 21, 2018\u00a03:00pm-4:30pm Location: Dunton Tower: Room 2203 Speaker:\u00a0 Ahmed El-Roby Title: Linked Data, Why Bother?
