Save Money and Make Things Better with Linked Open Data [B6]

Abstract

How can we get the most value from open and linked data? Funding is tight so in this session we’ll look at the ways open and linked data can provide a good return on investment for individual institutions and the wider community. It can help you do more with the resources you already have. We will also cover linking up data beyond a single organisation; data.ac.uk is looking to make aggregated datasets of UK University’s open data, building on the open data work done at Southampton, Lincoln, Oxford, Open, Bristol etc. creating services such as http://equipment.data.ac.uk/ with as little cost as possible.

Facilitator: Chris Gutteridge, University of Southampton
