Announcing the Spanish Linked Data Thematic Network

The Universidad Politécnica de Madrid has announced that, “twenty Spanish research groups, employing over 150 researchers from 18 higher education institutions, have set up the Spanish Linked Data Thematic Network, with the aim of improving knowledge exchange and transfer between Spanish researchers working in Spain or abroad on related fields, as well as increasing the international visibility of Spanish research on linked data.”

The announcement continues, “The huge growth of the Data Web (or Linked Data Web) over the last few months speaks for its significance… Examples of similar thematic networks are the communities working on initiatives launched by the United Kingdom and the United States Governments, foundations like the Open Knowledge Foundation, or popular initiatives, such as Italy’s FAO-based community. The Spanish Government is working to improve citizen and enterprise access to Spanish State Administration public data.”

More information about the involved research groups and their goals can be found in the original release.
