Linking semantic personal notes

Abstract

Semantic Web technologies are available and gain popularity both on the Web and on the desktop. However, in spite of common representation formats, personal and online data is still difficult to interlink, notably because of the different vocabularies used to describe it, as well as the lack of common identifiers between desktop and Web-based applications. In this paper, we describe a process for easily publishing and sharing of personal notes as Linked Data. Our approach can be used to publish any kind of information from the desktop to the Web, enabling integration of small chunks of personal knowledge into the Web of Data and focusing on a user-driven approach of knowledge management.
