W3C Organizes Workshop on Linked Enterprise Data Patterns

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Ivan Herman

Linked Data technology offers huge potential for enterprise applications such as the integration and the management of data within and across enterprises. The distributed nature of Linked Data enables loose-coupling for data sharing within and between organizations. With Linked Data, enterprises have a unique opportunity to cooperate in their use of shared data without the costs of extensive coordination. W3C is organizing a Workshop on Linked Enterprise Data Patterns: Data-driven Applications on the Web for participants to discuss requirements, share solutions, and develop a healthy and scalable Linked Enterprise Data infrastructure. The Workshop takes place 6-7 December in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Anyone may participate; W3C membership is not required. All participants are required to submit a position paper by 25 October.
