The Web of Ideas and Information
On the 18th April, SerenA team member Rob Stewart gave a talk at Ed Lambda on: “Poking the Semantic Web with Haskell”. Linked Open Data is an enormous resource for discovering places, people and ideas. It is a resource that is closely tied to the goals of the SerenA project.

Abstract
The semantic web (coined as “Web 3.0″), is not the future – it is the now. Semantic Web principles are used in a global project called “Linked Open Data”, to publish semantic data about Things in the world. Linked Open Data is really, really cool. To build insightful and engaging applications, developers need the necessary tools to poke at, and interact with, semantic web data.
In the talk I shall illustrate some useful examples of how one might usefully consume RDF (a semantic data format), and will outline a W3C query language – SPARQL. Furthermore, I will present a popular existing semantic web toolkit, and will set in motion a call-to-arms proposal for a unified semantic web toolkit for Haskell programmers.
