Notes from CurateCAMP SE 2012 breakout session

Emory has a linked data interest group:

  • trains folks in basic SPARQL, sesame, SKOS
  • email list
  • pilot project will pull data out of silos and demonstrate potential (3 months)

RDF "readiness" cited as a first step.

OpenGraph (on Facebook) will make linked data more prevalent and personal.

Civil War regiments and SPARQL queries:

  • what can a SPARQL query tell you that SOLR cannot?
  • traversing relationships:
    • combine parks service data on regiment movements with institutional archives data on soldier diaries.
    • find indirect relationships between historical figures:
      • shared a regiment
      • in same battle
      • served under same officer
