Please record here interesting applications that use Linked Data #8

Closed matt-wallis closed 1 year ago

matt-wallis commented 5 years ago

This issue arose from a need to be able to give people examples of Linked Data in action, especially examples which might be familiar to people who have probably not even heard of Linked Data.

A question was put to the public-lod forum in the thread Examples of applications built on LOD.

These first appeared in Google in 2012, following Google's acquisition of FreeBase, together with it's 1.9 billion pieces of information (in Linked Data).

Helping firefighters

Hear a fireman talk about Linked Open Data, and the difference it makes

https://netage.nl/

The videos of Bart talking are well worth viewing. (I found that the big 'play' button in the centre of the video didn't work, but the smaller one at the bottom left did work.)

He talks about the importance of standards and openness, all in the context of providing information to firefighters.

Viewing EU law

Thanks to Thomas Francart for https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2018Nov/0001.html

You can access EU law from https://eur-lex.europa.eu The whole thing is built on LOD.

https://opencorporates.com/ publishes open data about companies all over the world. They use many LOD sources, but their main interface isn't LD.

BBC Sports coverage

Olympic Games have quite a lot of data! There are many opportunities to link this data: between competitors, the events they compete in, the schedules, existing world records, and games records, the teams from each country, historical information about how athletes have performed in the past, etc. etc.

The BBC used Linked Data to do all of this, with near-real-time updates of their triplestore (that's where you store data in the Linked Data world) as results came in. The results shown on your telly (and vast amounts of other information disseminated by the BBC) depended on Linked Data.

This built on work already done on the BBC's Dynamic Semantic Publishing platform for the 2010 World Cup

Luxembourg legislation

Thanks to Thomas Francart for https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2018Nov/0001.html

The portal for the publication of legislation in Luxembourg http://legilux.public.lu/ is entirely built on an RDF "legal knowledge graph" of the legislation (legislations are linked through typed links amends/repeals/consolidates/transposes etc.). The portal for data access and SPARQL queries is at http://data.legilux.public.lu/. Legislation URIs are dereferencables, e.g. "curl -L --header "Accept: application/rdf+xml" http://data.legilux.public.lu/eli/etat/leg/rgd/2018/10/12/a999/jo"

Finland: cultural heritage "Sampo" semantic portals

Thanks to Hyvönen Eero: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2018Nov/0003.html

In Finland, a series of cultural heritage "Sampo" semantic portals based on LOD and SPARQL endpoints are widely used at the moment also by 'the average man / woman':

"BookSampo - Finnish Fiction Literature on the Semantic Web (2011-)" http://kirjasampo.fi had in 2017 ca 2 million users making it a key portal of the Public Libraries in Finland. The system is based on academic research and publications reported here https://seco.cs.aalto.fi/applications/kirjasampo/ but is nowadays fully maintained by the Public Libraries.

"WarSampo - Finnish World War II on the Semantic Web" (2015-)" http://sotasampo.fi had in 2017 130 000 users, and is based on data linked from the National Archives of Finland, Defense Force archives and other sources. The system is based on academic research and publications reported here https://seco.cs.aalto.fi/projects/sotasampo/en/.

"BiographySampo - Finnish Life Stories of the Semantic Web" (2018-) http://biografiasampo.fi was released a month ago and is based on a knowledge graph extracted automatically from 13 000 biographies of the Finnish Literature Society (FLS), including the National Biography, and interlinked with 13 other external data sources. We expect a lot of users for BiographySampo, since the traditional biography system of FLS, using the same biographies, has 300 000 users in a year, BiographySampo provides much more intelligent services for the user (7 different application perspectives), and the biographies of FLS in BiographySampo are not anymore behind a pay wall but are openly available in this portal. The system is based on academic research and publications reported here https://seco.cs.aalto.fi/projects/biografiasampo/en/ .

The City of Winnipeg's neighborhood NOW site

Thanks to Mike Bergman: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-lod/2018Nov/0009.html

The City of Winnipeg's neighborhood NOW site [1], which is a customer-facing portal for interactive recreational, social, and community data of interest to citizens, and a related and award-winning sustainability and social well-being site maintained by United Way of Winnipeg and other partners [2], are based on RDF, OWL and embrace LOD aspects. There are lots of goodies with which to play, and some cool JS on both of these sites. There is also much and varied data, much with quantitative values used for mapping or charting.

Also from the Library of Congress of Chile, we have a LOD portal with a sparql endpoint (http//:datos.bcn.cl/sparql). Here we have published some KG such as: legislation (also XML documents in AKN), geographic data, parliamentaries, national budget, among others.
