[@OKau] Public sector data management report

Thu Dec 3 01:10:51 UTC 2015

I had to watch a video on YouTube the other day as I had a feeling Linked Data meant more than using 2 or more data sets together. What is the term to refer to using two or more data-sets with a shared field? This is an area that needs some work from government to ensure that there are specific fields like ABN included where-ever possible as the best means to match data across data-sets. Matching on name or address is pretty useless, especially wrt the quality level of those fields.

Interesting that the report defines Linked data as:
Data created from matching and integration of two or more datasets. This may occur through either an explicit match on unique identifiers, or through a combination of information that gives a high confidence match between the datasets

Or, is is a shame that 'linked data' is so easily used conversationally around data when it has a pretty specific meaning for those interested in it with regards to web 3.0 technologies.

I guess when we are really talking about Linked Data we need to capitalise both words :)
