Abstract
Retail and commerce are prime targets for benefitting from Semantic Web and Linked Data technologies. From content to customers, there are countless benefits to utilizing these technologies to drive insight, product relationships, and personalization.
In this talk, we take an introductory look at Semantic and Linked Data. We examine scenarios in retail where technologies and standards like schema.org, SPARQL, and Linked Data can be leveraged to produce superior semantic data-driven experiences that delight customers and impact the bottom line. We'll explore how Semantic and Linked Data technologies can be used in a variety of different ways. |
