Do not read this.
Linked Data is about using the Web to connect
related data that wasn't previously linked, or
using the Web to lower the barriers to linking
data currently linked using other methods. More
specifically, Wikipedia defines Linked Data as "a
term used to describe a recommended best
practice for exposing, sharing, and connecting
pieces of data, information, and knowledge on
the Semantic Web using URIs and RDF."

GEMS
• Goal: build a proof of concept for a semantic-
based multimedia browser interface, using raw
extracts from our media databases.
• De-mystify the field of semantics.
• Developed with two external partners:

Project intentions
20
• Use semantics to assemble the knowledge
previously spread across multiple databases.
• Connect to public data sources using LOD.
• Propose a new research tool for journalists and
production assistants.
• Cross-media searches.
• Speech-to-text engine.
• Ideally: change the way research is done by giving
access to the knowledge harvested from the
different media collection(s).
