Who

Read the LOD is a grassroots LOD initiative that organizes reading-and-discussion clubs around relevant contemporary Linked Data and Semantic Web documents.

What

The reading club is a monthly event where we read and discuss a document together. The document can be a scientific paper, a blog post, a book chapter, a tutorial, a specification, a use case, a strategy, a component, etc. The document is chosen by the community through a poll. The reading club is organized by the community, and the discussion is led by a moderator.

Why

  • to read everything you always wanted but never took up time for,
  • to be able to ask those questions that have been bothering you,
  • to share ideas, strategies, motivational spins, use cases and components,
  • and to keep building the community.
