The next 20 years of Linked Data

Join us for the inaugural GraphCentric London meetup, marking the 20th anniversary of Tim Berners-Lee’s seminal July 2006 design note on Linked Data. In that note, Berners-Lee set out four simple rules: use URIs to identify things, use HTTP so those things can be looked up, return useful data in standard formats such as RDF, and include links to other related resources. Twenty years later, those ideas look remarkably current. As AI agents, knowledge graphs, and data-centric systems become more important, Linked Data offers a practical way for software to discover ground-truth information across the web and across organisations. Agenda 6:00pm - Arrivals and introductions 6:15pm - Short talk: Linked Data was 20 years ahead of its time 6:45pm - Discussion, questions, drinks, and networking 7:00pm - Toast to Tim Berners-Lee and Linked Data This event is for anyone interested in knowledge graphs, RDF, SPARQL, the Semantic Web, AI agents, and better ways to build software on the web. There will be plenty of time after the event for networking and drinks, stay as long as you like!
