Response To My Linked Data Challenge
Brian Kelly,
Feb 19, 2010
There's a lot of data online, in different (and linked) repositories - but can we query it? The answer, at least to a certain degree, is a tentative 'yes'. Brian Kelly asked, "tell me which town or city in the UK has the largest proportion of students," and Alejandra Garcia Rojas mined the data to provide the response. But what a response! And what a mine of data! And there's this: "A more general concern which this exercise has alerted me to is the dangers of assuming that the answer to a Linked Data query will necessarily be correct. In this case it was clear that the results were wrong. But what if the results had only been slightly wrong? And what if you weren't in a position to make a judgment on the validity of the answers?"
