Having a local environment to experiment with linked data can be a very empowering for both beginner and advanced users. In this session, attendees will learn how to set up a local linked data environment that can be run on a personal desktop computer or laptop, including instruction on running cross platform and open source software for setting up a local RDF store and some helpful related software. The tools for working in these environments will be SPARQL as well as bulk loading datasets.
Alex draws on their background in Computer Science, Information Science, Library Science, and work in Free and Open Source Software to help increase the inclusiveness, accessibility, and usage of linked open data by working on both documentation and tooling.
