Learn the difference between data and information and get Linked Data to work by adding a sixth star – using APIs – to Sir Tim Berners-Lee’s 5-Star model for publishing information on the Semantic Web. This session includes an introduction to Linked Open Data, Linked Closed Data, JSON-LD and the 5-Star model and provides a step-by-step walk-through of a successful technical implementation with your API.

APIs and the Semantic Web: publishing information instead of data
- 1. APIs and the Semantic Web Publishing information instead of data
- 2. About me • Data Specialist • API First fanatic • Co-Founder Apiwise • Ex-Freshheads • PostcodeAPI.nu • Apiranto Docs
- 3. About me “The only bad thing about API is that it’s the inverse of IPA”
- 4. About me • Brewmaster • MQTT API driven brewery “De Brouwtoren” • Crowdfunding starting next week (hint!)
- 5. 0641011744 • Registration number • Flight number • Bank account • Mobile phone number
- 6. 641.011.744 Remember phone numbers and Excel?
- 7. “0641011744” Now it’s a meaningless string!
- 9. Semantics • Context • Meaning • Vocabularies & Ontologies
- 10. Vocabularies • Schema.org • FOAF (Friend-Of-A-Friend): VCard • XSD (XML Schema Definition Language)
- 11. Linked Data • Alias The Semantic Web, Web 3.0 • Defines what data means • Queries across multiple datasets • Provides links to external resources

- 28. “Linked Data makes it possible to get new insights in data which were technically impossible in the past. It’s up to marketing people to come up with challenging queries.”
- 29. “That’s awesome!” But… I want APIs…
- 30. Five stars of Sir Tim Berners-Lee
- 31. ★ “Make your stuff available on the Web (whatever format) under an open license”
- 32. ★ ★ “Make it available as structured data (e.g., Excel instead of image scan of a table)”
- 33. ★ ★ ★ “Use non-proprietary formats (e.g., CSV instead of Excel)”
- 34. ★ ★ ★ ★ “Use URIs to denote things, so that people can point at your stuff (RDF)”
- 35. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Link your data to other data to provide context (Linked Data)”
- 36. Data landscape • Data consumers • Data publishers • Open Data community • API community • Linked Data community
- 37. Data consumers • Provide us the developer-friendliest way to access your data and we MIGHT use it
- 38. Data publishers • HOW should we publish our data? • What are the COSTS of doing it that way? • What are the BENEFITS of doing it that way?
- 39. Open Data community • We don’t care HOW the data is published • We only care IF the data is open
- 40. API community • Every publisher SHOULD provide RESTful JSON APIs • Because every consumer KNOWS RESTful JSON APIs • We DON’T believe in Linked Data
- 41. Linked Data community • Every publisher SHOULD provide five star data • Every consumer SHOULD learn SPARQL* • So we DON’T need APIs *Linked Data query language
- 42. SPARQL And RDF Query Language ?S ?O?P
- 43. All Endpoint attendees ?S Endpointattends
- 44. All events I(’ve) attend(ed) Dimitri ?Oattends
- 45. Basic SPARQL Query PREFIX rdfs: <http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#> PREFIX type: <http://dbpedia.org/class/yago/> PREFIX prop: <http://dbpedia.org/property/> SELECT ?country_name ?population WHERE { ?country a type:LandlockedCountries ; rdfs:label ?country_name ; prop:populationEstimate ?population . FILTER (?population > 15000000) . }
- 46. WTF is SPARQL?
- 47. Benefits According to EU studies the amount of apps being developed with Linked Open Government Data is negligible. https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/sites/default/files/85/31 /25/Study_on_business_models_for_Linked_Open_ Government_Data_BM4LOGD_v1.00.pdf
- 48. Costs • Knowledge investment (unknown technology) • Technical investment (hosting infrastructure) • Time investment (change management) • Low ROI
- 49. “The quality of many datasets is AT MOST three stars”
- 50. Five stars of Sir Tim Berners-Lee
- 51. Six stars of Dimitri van Hees
- 52. ★ ★ ★ ★ “Provide online access via webservices so developers can use your stuff the way they are used to (RESTful JSON API)”
- 53. ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Add context to your API so it can be linked to other datasets, developers know what the data means and LD guys can convert it to triples, store it in triplestores and use SPARQL if they want to (JSON-LD)”

- 62. JsonLd2RDF() And there’s your Linked Data!
- 63. Step 1: JSON support
- 64. Step 2: JSON-LD support
- 65. Step 3: Triples support

- 71. Structured Data
- 72. Gmail
- 74. Separation of concerns • It’s all about conversion • A website is just another representation of information • People WILL skip the restaurant’s website if they’re hungry and can get food by just yelling HUNGRY at their mobile phone • Publish information instead of data!
- 75. “The Semantic Web does exist and goes hand in hand with APIs. Using six stars instead of five, APIs are part of the deployment scheme while making live easier for both data publishers and consumers. Let’s bridge the gap, bring the best of both worlds, and let’s change the web together by publishing information instead of data.”

Hinweis der Redaktion
- We still need human intelligence to interpret the column header
- Your API now supports semantics and publishes information instead of data!
