Synopsis • Open Data: available for public use • Linked Data: easy to integrate • Visualization: easy to understand data • Mashups: enrich meaning of data • Provenance: make mashups accountable
A Typical Mashup: CASTNET Data.gov epa.gov CASTNET Ozone (CSV) CASTNET Site (CSV) 1 Convert raw dataset into linkable RDF 4 surf to EPA applications query multiple RDF dataset via SPARQL end point 2 3 drill down for details Visualization API Exhibit Data Mashup Web Application Mashup Visualization Mashup Created by Dominic DiFranzo, PhD student at RPI, http://www.data.gov/semantic/Castnet/html/exhibit

More Mashups: Using Web Tools SPARQL results (XML) can be converted into other formats (e.g. JSON, CSV) as input of other Web tools: Yahoo Pipes, IBM Many Eyes, Microsoft Web n-gram Service, …
More Mashups: Provenance • Critical to accountability • Demo => Dataset => Agency • Where data come from? • Agency =>Dataset => Comments • Support users’ feedback Agency Dataset Demo
Conclusions • Now • 6.4 billions of triples from data.gov • “data + visualization + mashup” is powerful • Low-cost solutions available for education • Future • Development • More raw data, data catalog, links, RDFa • More tools, esp. Web visualization, SPARQL endpoint • More demos and applications in different domain • Research • Integration: link, search, social contribution,… • Provenance: source, versions, trust, … • Usability: scalable, quality…
