Medium Future (Spring 2013) Auto discovery of datasets Semantic Web
Medium Future (Spring 2013) Auto discovery of datasets Semantic Web Queen Mary University of London is first Russell Group university to have auto-discoverable open equipment data: http://www.qmul.ac.uk/

Tabular Data FTW Understanding Graph data is a big cognitive load, compared with SQL/Excel. Don t expect any small company to be able to generate good RDF. RDF is neat for aggregation, but make easy ways for people to get started. Provide tabular-data routes in & out where possible!
What were working on (Spring 2014) Observatory.data.ac.uk Collect, publish and visualise current and historical data about *.ac.uk homepages. Hub.data.ac.uk Collect, publish and visualise *.ac.uk Organisation Profile Documents (OPDs)
