Part 4. Pulling it all together

What is Callimachus? How can you use it to generate web pages from RDF data? How can you use Callimachus to build web applications? What’s the current state of Linked Data on the Semantic Web? What does the future hold for Linked Data on the Semantic Web?

By this point, you’ve traveled a long way in your understanding, appreciation, and application of Linked Data on the Web. These final three chapters help you regroup. Part 4 introduces you to an advanced tool and walks you through an extension of the weather application originally presented in chapter 7. This new weather application looks nice and has some functionality you’ll want to use in your own applications. It’s based on RDF data you created from data feeds at a couple of open data sites provided by the U.S. government. We summarize the process of publishing Linked Data from preparation to publication and clarify easily overlooked steps like minting URIs and customizing vocabularies. We expect you to find this a helpful reference as you prepare your own datasets for publication.
