2. The Goal Allow a scientist… –to convert data from comma-separated value format (CSV) to a linked data format –to record provenance information about the original dataset and conversion transformation –to receive RDF immediately, for use in visualizations or other semantic applications –to have a repository with appropriate access for collaborators 1

3. The Value of Linked Data Data is converted and annotated using community-standard vocabularies (ontologies). Allows queries in SPARQL across any or all data sets Provides a way to make metadata machine-readable 2

4. Revealing Implicit Information 3

6. Tabular Data to Linked Data CSV2RDF4LOD is a powerful tool for converting tabular data into linked open data, able to represent many complex relationships between data fields –Command-line based –Requires prior knowledge of RDF Semantic Annotator provides a graphical user interface for this converter, building up conversion parameters in the background. –Browser-based –Still in development, currently not as powerful 5

7. Tabular Data to Linked Data 6 Data Enhancement Parameters Linked Data CSV2RDF4LOD and Semantic Annotator enable creation of enhancement parameters for conversion These parameters can also be applied to other datasets with similar structure Provide provenance about how data conversion was performed
