Talis will be on hand at next week’s Semantic Technology Conference to present their latest semantic web application, Kasabi – a Linked Data Marketplace. According to Talis, “Kasabi is a new web application that aims to support organisations in the publishing and monetization of data on the web. The benefits of ready access to high quality data sets to support the creation of innovative new web and mobile applications is well-documented, and there is growing demand from developers for new data sources.”

The article continues, “Kasabi provides an environment that leverages semantic web technology to provide a unique marketplace that supports the publishing, licensing, and re-use of datasets. Through the power of technologies like RDF, SPARQL and Linked Data, Kasabi provides a rich set of options for organisations wishing to explore new business models around data, as well as empowering the community to remix and share data in many different ways.”

Kasabi will be presented by Leigh Dodds, a Platform Programme Manager at Talis with significant experience “working with Semantic Web and Web technologies as both an independent hacker, researcher, as well as in production environments in a number of roles including developer, software architect and product manager. He has written about, and spoken widely on a range of semantic web topics include SPARQL, Linked Data, managing and aggregating data on the web, semantic web application development, and data licensing and management.”
