DNF to embrace Linked Data
The Digital National Framework (DNF) Expert Group is to align its core strategy with the ongoing development of the emerging universal web standard for connecting all kinds of data.
The group, an independent forum of data providers, software vendors, implementers and users, sees Linked Data as the best way to integrate different kinds of information, geospatial included, through web applications crossing organisational boundaries and taking data directly from source publishers.
Following an initial technical workshop in 2010, the group has approved a fundamental change in its operating plan for 2011 to embrace what Linked Data, and the community that helps drive and support it, has to offer. The Expert Group is ideally positioned to act as a focal point for the usage of Linked Data within the geospatial community.
The changes, which will be reflected in the plan for 2011, will see a much closer collaboration between geospatial and Linked Data communities both on the technical and communications sides. The detail behind this will be agreed at a meeting of the DNF Expert Group, hosted by Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, on 17 February 2011.
Priority areas will include a greater focus on building up knowledge levels, explaining how to translate and migrate data sources, and securing the business benefits of Linked Data.

More detail will be published after the Expert Group on 17 February 2011.
