4. • Linked Data is
about publishing
and consuming
data using
international data
standards
• Based on 20 year
old idea
• A system of linked
information systems

12. Business in future shock
• Business needs changing at a
faster pace
• M&As
• New and changing government
regulations
• Changing global economy

ever and more on the Web ...

13. "If information systems are to keep up with business,
we need to change more than technology -
we need to change how people deal with technology."
-- Jeff Pollock

14. THEMES
• Myth: One authoritative, centralized system
for data is necessary to ensure quality and
proper usage.
• Reality: In many cases there is no “one right
way” to curate and view the data. What is right
for one department can limit or block another.
Sunday, November 13, 2011
15. THEMES
• Myth: If we centralize control, no one will be able
to use the data in the wrong way.
• Reality: If you limit users, they will find a way to
take the data elsewhere --> decentralization
Sunday, November 13, 2011
16. THEMES
• Myth: We can have one group who will provide
reporting to meet everyone’s data analysis needs.
• Reality: One group cannot keep up with all the
changing ways in which people need to use data
and it is very expensive.

17. MANY KINDS OF REVOLUTIONS HAPPENING TODAY ...
Sunday, November 13, 2011
27. WHY HAS THERE BEEN
GROWTH?
International data exchange standards are the reason
that
The Web has become the most extensible, robust
information network ever created
A data sharing revolution is even possible
We can share open documents and open data
Consider the alternative ... Closed, proprietary, silos.

3 BRIEF YEARS ...
Starting in 2008, a few heads of state directed open

Plans during the meeting of the UN General
