  • **Title of session:** Creating visualizations easily using Linked Open Data
  • **Your name and affiliation:** Alvaro Graves, Poderopedia, Tetherless World Constellation
  • **Session format:** Learning Lab

What will your session or activity allow people to make, learn or do?

People will learn how to use multiple sources of Linked Open Data to create visualizations that later will be used in blogs, articles, etc.

How do you see that working?

Using tools like SPARQL, LODSPeaKr and Haanga, people will learn how to use Linked Open Data available on the Web to create visualizations. Some familiarity of the participants with HTML, SQL and programming languages is recommended but not necessary.

I will explain how these tools work for 40 min. or 1 hour. After that an individual/group project will put in practice what has been learned.

Since the tools used are Open Source, we expect collaboration and feedback from the audience on how to improve them and makes them easier to use for others.

How will you deal with 5, 15, 50 participants?

Every attendee will create its own set of visualizations using the tools provided and data openly available. These visualizations can later be embedded in their own blogs, personal or work home pages, etc.

For 5 people, I expect everyone to create a one or more visualizations that can be embedded in their blogs or shared via twitter. The visualization must be meaningful, in the sense that it should make a point about an issue important to the attendees. It will be encouraged to discuss, share and reuse code done by others while creating a project, to avoid people getting stuck in technical details.


For 10, 50 or more people I expect to have groups of no more than 4/5 people each that will create visualizations. The project will be to create a set of visualizations that will support a story (about economy, politics, etc.) that the group wants to tell.

How long within your session before someone else can teach this?

90 to 120 min aprox.

What do you see as outcomes after the festival?

People will be able to install a "visualization server" and create visualizations there that later can be embedded in their own blogs and articles.
