Whenever we publicise one of our Linked Data events we regularly hold in the UK, I always get a handful of responses wishing that we would run such an event on the American side of the planet.

So it is a great pleasure to announce our first Talis Linked Data Open Day in San Francisco on Wednesday 1st June.

Register via the button below, come along to meet with some Talis folks, and explore the possibilities of Linked Data.

We will include an introduction to Linked Data; a look at where it is being used; a bit of history to put it in to context with the Web and other technologies; and a non-scary look under the hood at how it is implemented.

We will also share some of the experiences and lessons learnt by the Talis team, when working with many organisations, in government, the media, and commercial worlds.

These are informal participative days where you get the opportunity to question those presenting and discuss practicalities, and benefits of Linked Data.
