Spanish Thematic Network of Linked Data

The main objective of the Spanish thematic network of Linked Data is to facilitate the exchange and transfer of knowledge in the area of Linked Data between Spanish research groups associated to universities, technology centers, public administrations and companies. Besides, we aim at increasing this knowledge transfer with Spanish researchers that are currently working abroad in related areas. 

A number of activities are being undertaken and organised in the context of this network. Among them, the most relevant are: 

1. Two public scientific meetings. The first meeting was held at UPM premises, in Boadilla del Monte, Madrid, in June 2011, and the second meeting was a scientific workshop associated to the Spanish Conference on Artificial Intelligence (CAEPIA2011), in La Laguna, Tenerife, in November 2011.
2. Joint meetings with industrial and Government stakeholders, in vertical domains such as Open Government, Publishing, Health, etc.
3. Informal working and discussion meetings, in the form of voCamps and Linked Data meetups. 
4. Creation of syllabi and training materials in Spanish (including on-line tutorials, slides, etc.).
5. Promotion of the mobility of researchers throughout the country.

Participating in the network is free and open for any individual, research group, association, public administration or private company that is interested in our activities.
