SMWCon Fall 2012/The Information Workbench

The Information Workbench is a platform for Linked Data applications in the enterprise. Targeting the full life-cycle of Linked Data applications, it facilitates the integration and processing of Linked Data following a Data-as-a-Service paradigm.

In this talk we present how we use Semantic Wiki technologies in the Information Workbench for the development of user interfaces for interacting with the Linked Data. The user interface can be easily customized using a large set of widgets for data integration, interactive visualization, exploration and analytics, as well as the collaborative acquisition and authoring of Linked Data. The talk will feature a live demo illustrating an example application, a Conference Explorer integrating data about the SMWCon conference, publications and social media.

We will also present solutions and applications of the Information Workbench in a variety of other domains, including the Life Sciences and Data Center Management.
