Presentations

Rapelcgvba: Jul Vg Znggref

Data Integration : You're Doing it Wrong

The cost of integrating information isn't cheap. Well, at least it isn't if you do it wrong. Chances are, you're doing it wrong.

Linked Data

Webs of documents are fabulous enough. Webs of data will blow your mind.

Resource-Oriented Architecture Patterns for Webs of Data

The surge of interest in the REpresentational State Transfer (REST) architectural style, the Semantic Web, and Linked Data has resulted in the development of innovative, flexible, and powerful systems that embrace one or more of these compatible technologies. However, most developers, architects, Information Technology managers, and platform owners have only been exposed to the basics of resource-oriented architectures.

  • Everything is an element
  • Eliminate boilerplate
