Publishing data with Linked Data Event Streams: why and how

A few hours
Beginner

Course details

Different public administrations started publishing Linked Data Event Streams as the core API of their publishing strategy. This allows third parties to replicate the full Linked Data dataset and keep it in sync afterwards. However, that is not where it stops: it bootstraps an ecosystem of reusable indexes on top of the main event stream. In this course you will learn how to use LDES as a way to prioritize Web API features for your data publishing strategy. Next, we will deep-dive into the LDES and TREE specifications theoretically and understand what they allow. Then we will learn from three existing implementations how they turned their existing data publishing into a Linked Data Event Stream, and finally, we will show how you can reuse these new Web APIs as a data consumer.

Target audience

Managers, data maintainers and developers interested in thinking more thoroughly about who does what in their Linked Data’s life cycle.

Learning objectives

  • The 3 levels of priorities in Web API design for Linked Data publishing
  • The LDES and TREE specification
  • How to implement LDES on top of your existing dataset
