Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin
July 22 - 24, 2011
Resource-Oriented Architectures : RDFa
Sunday - Jul 24 4:00 PM CDT - Salon A&B
The fifth in a series of talks that are part of an arc covering next-generation information-oriented, flexible, scalable architectures. The ideas presented apply to both external and internal-facing systems.
Once we have a flexible and extensible data model like RDF, we will want to find ways to weave it into our documents to make them easier to organize, find and extract value from on the Web. This talk will highlight techniques for adopting RDFa but will also motivate attendees to dig deeper by showing them how it is already being used by the biggest names on the Web. Improve your search results and allow your customers to leverage relevant information for their own purposes.
You understand how important it is to be on the Web. Come learn how important it is to be on the Web of Data.
