The document discusses the semantic web and linked data. It provides an overview of key concepts like using structured data on the web, linking data between sources, and how linked data allows for greater innovation through third party applications. While the data web is still developing, there are examples like data from the BBC and data.gov.uk that demonstrate early progress and potential. The presentation encourages attendees to get involved by exploring available resources and noting that even small contributions can help grow the data web.
