the Linked Enterprise Organisation
- Connecting the (your?) business world with Linked Data
The Linked Enterprise Organisation is a community resource encouraging businesses to use the practices and technologies of "Linked Data" - structuring information to join it together and allow you to answer more of your questions. There is a tremendous wealth of data and tools ready for you to use, and this community will help you make the most of them.
Vision
- Helping enterprises solve practical issues by applying Linked Data principles thru making them accessible
- Helping the world of commerce to understand and build on the work of linked data academics and enthusiasts - by capitalising on existing progress they can stimulate interest and investment to grow these systems of joining knowledge into the truly useful and powerful tools it was conceived to be
need to temper the rest of this to encourage academics and purists to join in.
Audience roles
- innovator / understander
- investor / executive
- implementor?
- interactor / user
Mission points
- publishing practical assistance, that is clear to understand and simple to use, under open license
- attracting enthusiastic people; those with relevant experience to share; and those with a desire to learn, question and apply
- bringing them together to gain their insight and learn from past effort
- exploit social and conventional media to spread the news and encourage participation
- making it simple for newcomers to understand and use, and always keeping in touch with (/going back to) the basics (rather than getting absorbed into complexity)
- drawing technologies from theoretical papers and labs and allowing them to grow and flourish in real world business scenarios
- cross-source and maintain a simple open implementation platform for individuals with insight to begin linking and publishing their data as a route to adoption by an increasing circle within their organisation
- identifying clear ways for enterprises to choose principles, practices and tools that will (benefit them) help them solve their practical issues, whilst also contributing to community projects
- stimulating investment in individual fields and technologies to allow their intent to manifest, and helping economic selection to create champions amongst them
Dogfood is not a core mission-point, but it LEO should work towards underpinning its content with triples
do I need to differentiate at this level that I am primarily aiming at general companies, although information providers may find some relevance here, and corporate marketeers in any business are essentially information providers
