This month the talk will be given by one of our organizers, Griffin Caprio, on Semantic Mashups.
Description
A mashup is a web page or application that combines data or functionality from two or more external sources to create a new service. Semantic mashups take this a step further by utilizing semantic web technologies to create a richer experience. Using RDF, SPARQL and URIs, mashups can evolve past the simple reuse of data and into the discovery of new knowledge.
In this talk, we'll be presenting sports statistic semantic mashup examples and explaining the underlying techniques and technologies that make them possible.
